How to reference existing Perspective views

Module Development

How can I get a reference to existing views in a Perspective project? I’m creating a component that requires functionality similar to Perspective’s existing embed components.

There’s no direct way to reference Views, but this will get a list of Views currently saved in any directory of the project, along with their path. Note that you would need to enter the name of your project.

import os
project_name = 'MyProject'
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(".\\data\\projects\\" + project_name + "\\com.inductiveautomation.perspective\\views"):
	for file in files:
		if file.endswith('view.json'):
			system.perspective.print(root.split('views')[1])
