I'm using Oracle APEX but am unsure how to access the following variables from an external javascript file that may be located on the app server or stored in Shared Components -> Static Files.

:APP_ID

:APP_PAGE_ID

:APP_SESSION

How can I reference the values for each of the above from javascript (stored as a Static File)?

These values get rendered on the page as hidden items like this:

<input type=hidden name=p_flow_id value=4000 id=pFlowId />

<input type=hidden name=p_flow_step_id value=4150 id=pFlowStepId />

<input type=hidden name=p_instance value=6528421540413702 id=pInstance />

so you can reference them as:

$v('pFlowId') // APP_ID

$v('pFlowStepId') // APP_PAGE_ID

$v('pInstance') // SESSION

It's a pity they aren't named the same as the session state!
