getCollection-Method in JS-Templates

[cfe]

Hello,

what im trying to do is to load a specifiv collection in the javascript-part of a template (\WEB_INF\webscripts\global\mytemplate.get.js) without passing any arguments vie the page-templates.

From a predefined template i have the following code:

collectionService.getCollection(context.properties.section.id, args.collection)‍

What can i enter for:
- context.properties.section.id
- args.collection

to get e.g.
\news\collections\section.articles

I tried several combinations without any luck.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

greetings,
Chris

Sorry for the delay in replying. For some reason I didn't get a handy email telling me about your post.

Probably the easiest way to do this is:

  context.properties.webSite.getSectionByPath("/news/").getAssetCollection("section.articles")
