Is it possible to use AP request via an iframe in a Jira server addon?

To factorize the code between our Jira server addon and our Jira cloud addon, I used to provide IHM via an iframe in jira server addon like for jira cloud addon. It’s working very much. But this time, I need to use AP request and I didn’t find documentation to do that.

Is it possible to use AP request via an iframe in a Jira server addon? It would be very useful.

Unfortunately no. AP.request relies on the connect plugin being installed. The connect plugin only works in JIRA cloud.

You could replicate something similar. AP.request is just a wrapper around some cross domain ajax. If your iframe is on the same domain as the jira server instance you could do something like:

function crossDomainAjax(params, callback) {
  if(AP && AP.request) {
   // i'm using connect
   AP.request(params, callback);
  } else {
    window.parent.jQuery.ajax(params).done(callback);
  }
}

Thanks for your answer. I tried it but my iframe is not on the same domain as the jira server instance.
I tried to enable CORS requests with the whitelist as describe here: Configuring the allowlist | Administering Jira applications Data Center and Server 7.3 | Atlassian Documentation

But I obtain the error: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/api/2/project/P1. Request header field Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

Is it possible that doesn’t work because I use atlas-run command to run Jira?

I think localhost is a special case. You might want to try using something like ngrok to replace it with a real domain.
