However, I am being tripped up a little here.I have the following json model and it displays the document picker and a save and cancel button. All I want to do it cons

Typically there won't be any callback functions - Aikau works over a pub/sub layer so when you select a document and click the "OK" button button in the form it will publish the documents you've selected on the "FORM_CONTENTS" topic that you have configured.

If you want to do something with that publication then you'll need to create a custom service that subscribes to that topic. There are lots of OOTB services that do various things, but none that perform the use-case that you've described (which is to just console.log the selected items).

If you haven't already, I'd suggest working your way through the Aikau tutorial on GitHub to get up to speed with the basics: https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/master/tutorial/chapters/Contents.md

I created a JavaScript widget and this is the code that I needed below. It wasn't apparent that I needed to grab the ID for the current scope.


define(["dojo/_base/declare",
        "dijit/_WidgetBase",
        "alfresco/core/Core"
    ],
    function(declare, _Widget, Core) {
        return declare([_Widget, Core], {

           url : Alfresco.constants.URL_CONTEXT + "proxy/alfresco/node/get-associations",
           nodeRef : Alfresco.util.getQueryStringParameter('nodeRef'),
           
           /**
           *  Construct
           */
           constructor: function example_widgets_MyWidget__constructor(args) {
              
              var _this = this; 
              
//THIS CODE
              this.subscribe(args.pubSubScope + "FORM_CONTENTS", function(args){
                 console.log(args.document.join(','));
              });
           }
        });
});
