Introduction

_spPageContextInfo is a  JavaScript context variable, which will rendered for each SharePoint page. _spPageContextInfo holds few proprieties which will be useful in JavaScript and client object model code. If you want to know the properties of _spPageContextInfo, go to view page source and find text with "_spPageContextInfo".

When It will be useful:

  • When we are making any ajax calls, we might need the server URL dynamically. In this case we can use _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl property. 
  • If you want to know the current SharePoint List GUID, use _spPageContextInfo.pageListId.
  • Even it has more properties also(which are self explanatory). We can use them according to the requirements.

Sample Code:

	if (_spPageContextInfo != null) {
            if (_spPageContextInfo.pageListId != null) {
                var pageListId = _spPageContextInfo.pageListId;
            }
            if (_spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl && _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl != '') {
               var siteAbsoluteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl
            }
        }
$.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: siteAbsoluteUrl + "/_layouts/15/Test.aspx?listid=" + pageListId + "",
            data: "",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {                
                    alert('success');
            },
            error: function () {
                alert('failed ');

            }
        });
