Advanced favicon management

currently we are only able to set 1 png as favicon.

this doesn't scale very well, and when dynamically trying to configure this for multitenant, it doesn't scale.

edit: currently trying to solve this with JS and injecting elements into the head tag, will post any solutions here.

There is a default Mendix supported action that does just this:

Webactions module, SetFavicon action.

 

We use that action to set the favicon in a multi tenant app.

create an object you can configure per tenant.

create a nanoflow with the following jsa

export async function JSA_SetFavicon(str_filename) {
	// BEGIN USER CODE
	//throw new Error("JavaScript action was not implemented");

	var location = 'resources/' + str_filename;
	var link = document.querySelector("link[rel~='icon']");
	if (!link) {
		link = document.createElement('link');
		link.rel = 'icon';
		document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);
	}
	//link.href = 'https://stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico';
