Is it possible to use the XCN Ajax handlers from our own code without extending what is there already?

I see when you drag an item to the cart it passes two specific paramaters, "cart" and "add" which I guess gets converted to doActionAdd() in CartAbstract.php

So if I wanted to call myFunction() in myControllerClass.php what parameters do I need to pass using the existing handlers?

Unless of course I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Yes, it is possible, but it depends on what you do.

You can't directly call a PHP method from JavaScript, but you can run an action in a controller class as follows:

core.post(
  URLHandler.buildURL({target: 'example', action: 'test'}),
   function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, data, valid) {
  }
);

This will run \Xlite\Controller\[current-area]\Example::doActionTest().

Please could you explain the desired behavior in details?

That gave me enough info to do what I wanted.

It was for a button to attach an image to an order.
