JS SDK
Prerequisite
Include the JS https://js.zohocdn.com/projects/js/client_sdk.min.js in your code before calling the following SDK methods.
Include the CSS https://css.zohocdn.com/projects/styles/zps-extn/client_sdk.css in your code to use Zoho Projects style.
init
Initializes the extension.
zohoprojects.init().then(function(){}); Invoking this method at the beginning is necessary since the other SDK methods will work only after its invocation. While init is loading if you want to use other functions you can use it within the init function.
zohoprojects.init().then(function () {
zohoprojects.get("portal.name").then(function (response)
});
metadata
Fetches the payment and configuration details of an extension.
zohoprojects.metadata().then(function(response)
{
/* output
{
"data": {
"configs": [
{
"name": "Name",
"type": "text",
"is_mandatory": true,
"is_secure": false,

}
}
*/
}); context
Fetches the module name and entity ID of the current location. The module name is 'tasks' or 'issues' and the entity ID is the ID of the respective task or issue.
zohoprojects.context().then(function(response)
{
/* output
{
"module_name": "tasks",
"entity_id": "27092000000031079"
}
*/
}); 
We do not give the entity ID for the widget location 'app_settings', 'attachment_picker', 'blueprint_during' and 'top_band' locations.get
Fetches the details of the instances, current user, portal, project, tasks, and issues of the current location.
zohoprojects.get("task.id
