To search for components via the JS API, use the search function for the various service APIs here.
Queries, filters and criteria
Objects :
SearchRequest
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| addSelect(String field) | Adds a field to be remounted |
| addFilterClause(FilterClause filterClause) | Adds an additional criterion |
| getFilters() | Retrieves an array containing all FilterClause |
| addOrderClause(OrderClause orderClause) | Adds a field on which to sort search results |
| setMax(int max) | Defines the maximum number of results to be returned |
| getMax() | Retrieves the maximum number of results to return |
| setStart(int start) | Defines the start of the search page |
| getStart() | Retrieves the start of the search page |
AndClause
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| addCriterion(Criterion criterion) | Add a search criterion |
| getCriteria() | Retrieves an array containing all the criteria of the clause |
Criterion
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| getName() | Retrieves the name of the criterion |
| setName(String name) | Defines the name of the criterion |
| getOperator() | Retrieves the criterion operator |
| setOperator(String operator | Defines the criterion operator. Possible values are : EQUALS_TO CONTAINS, LESS_THAN, GREATER_THAN, STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH, DISPLAY, DIFFERENT, BETWEEN |
| getType() | Retrieves the criterion type |
| setType(String type) | Defines the criterion type. Possible values are : STRING, TIMESTAMP, BOOLEAN, INTEGER, CURRENCY |
| getValues() | Retrieves criterion values |
| addValue(String value) | Adds a value to the criterion |
| addValues(String[] values) | Adds an array of values to the criterion |
The
EQUALS_TO and DIFFERENT operators are case-sensitive (differentiate between upper and lower case).
Sorting
OrderClause
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| setName(String name) | Defines the name of the criterion |
| setType(String type) | Defines the type of field: STRING, TIMESTAMP, BOOLEAN, INTEGER, CURRENCY |
| setAscending(boolean isAscending) | Defines whether sorting is ascending or descending |
Building a query :
var request = new SearchRequest();
request.setMax(20);
request.setStart(0);
var orderClause = new OrderClause();
orderClause.setName("creationDate");
orderClause.setType("TIMESTAMP");
orderClause.setAscending(true);
request.addOrderClause(orderClause);
var filters = new AndClause();
request.addFilterClause(filters);
var criterion = new Criterion();
criterion.setName("Matricule");
criterion.setType("STRING");
criterion.addValue("P0002095");
filters.addCriterion(criterion);
JSAPI.get().document().search(request, function(results)
{
// Simple dump of all results
console.log("results.length=" + results.length);
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++)
{
var result = results[i];
console.log("id=" + result.getId() + ", name=" + result.getFieldValue("name"));
}
// Jump to first document found
if ( results.length > 0 )
{
var result = results[0];
var id = result.getId();
JSAPI.get().getNavigationAPI().goToComponentPlace("DOCUMENT", id);
}
},
function(error){
console.error("Error on document search: " + error);
});
It is possible to obtain the values of a search result in two different ways:
getFieldValue(fieldName): Retrieves all existing values for this field as a string. If the field contains several values, they are separated by the§character.getFieldValues(fieldName): Retrieves all existing values for this field as an array of strings.
