Getting session value in Angular/ React portlet - LR7.2

Hi All, i set a session value in postlogin hook like this.
HttpSession ses = lifecycleEvent.getRequest().getSession();
ses.setAttribute("PING_URL","somevalue");
I want to read this session value in my React portlet which is a pure javascript portlet. how to achieve this ?

Hi ,
You may not be able to read session attributes from js file , may be u need to make a server call (ajax) to read the values. but in case your JavaScript code residing inside a jsp then you can read it .

Thanks Yasin for the response, in my case its a pure javascript react project without a jsp or java controller, what is the ideal way to get session in this case ?

You can make a ajax call with resource url and read the session attributes.
