Methods

Private addDocumentOptions

addDownlink

  • addDownlink(id, title?): Item

  • Add a new downlink to the item. Does nothing if the item is already represented

    Parameters

    • id: string

      the id of the item to add.

    • Optional title: string

      optional. The title is just for convenience. It is neither saved nor representative of the actual title of the item.

    Returns Item

    the Item

    Throws

    Error if the passed id matches the id of the current item.

Private addMandatoryFields

addSection

addUplink

  • addUplink(id, title?): Item

  • Add a new uplink to the item. Does nothing if the item is already represented

    Parameters

    • id: string

      the id of the item to add.

    • Optional title: string

      optional. The title is just for convenience. It is neither saved nor representative of the actual title of the item.

    Returns Item

    the Item

    Throws

    Error if the passed id matches the id of the current item.

createTodo

  • createTodo(users, type, text, atDate): Promise<string>

  • Create a Todo attached to this item.

    Parameters

    • users: string[]

      an array of user names

    • type: TodoTypes
    • text: string
    • atDate: Date

    Returns Promise<string>

    A comma-separated list of Todo ids (integers), relative to the Item.

expandFieldMaskWithEmptyField

  • expandFieldMaskWithEmptyField(fieldId): Field

  • Sometimes you've been given an Item with a restrictive ItemFieldMask, however, you'd like to set a value for a field that was not in the mask. With this method, you can expand the field mask to include the field given by the fieldId (easily obtained from the Category object).

    This field will be added to the mask, and the associated Field object will be returned with an empty value, which you could set. The object will be marked as "dirty" at this point, because we don't know if the server has an empty value for this field or not, so we assume the pessimistic case.

    Parameters

    • fieldId: number

      a valid fieldId from the Category of the item.

    Returns Field

    the Field object

    Throws

    if the fieldId is already in the ItemFieldMask, or if the fieldId is not valid for the Category.

Private exportTo

  • exportTo(type, progressReporter?): Promise<string>

  • Parameters

    • type: "html" | "docx" | "pdf"
    • Optional progressReporter: ((jobId, jobDetails) => void)
        • (jobId, jobDetails): void

        • Parameters

          Returns void

    Returns Promise<string>

extractData

getCategory

getCreationDate

getDHFFieldInnerNames

  • getDHFFieldInnerNames(): string[]

  • It's helpful to see the names of DHF fields that would show up in the UI for the DOC. Then fields can be retrieved by these names.

    Returns string[]

    A list of DOC UI field names (not "dhf01" but "Signatures", for example).

getDHFFields

  • getDHFFields(): Field[]

  • Get the list of DHF fields. This list only includes actual DHF fields, not the "hidden" ones.

    Returns Field[]

    DHF fields sorted by name (dhf00, dhf01, etc).

getDHFFieldsByInnerName

  • getDHFFieldsByInnerName(name): Field[]

  • Retrieve an array of DOC DHF fields with the given UI name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

    Returns Field[]

    An array of Field objects from the Item.

getDocFieldHandlerClassName

  • getDocFieldHandlerClassName(handler): string

  • This method helps you know the most appropriate FieldHandler class to use to manipulate the doc field.

    Parameters

    • handler: IDocFieldHandler

    Returns string

    the name of the handler class.

getDownlinks

getFieldById

getFieldByName

  • getFieldByName(fieldName): Field[]

  • Returns all fields within the mask which match the fieldName.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

    Returns Field[]

    an array of Fields. Note that if the mask has limited the set of fields from the Category which are tracked for this particular item, the number of returned Field objects may be less than you expect.

getFieldMask

  • getFieldMask(): ItemFieldMask

  • Gets the ItemFieldMask which specifies which fields are loaded

    Returns ItemFieldMask

    on ItemFieldMask object

getFieldsByType

  • getFieldsByType(fieldType): Field[]

  • Returns all fields within the mask which match the fieldType.

    Parameters

getHistory

getId

  • getId(): string

  • Get the unique Id of the Item within the Project.

    Returns string

    a string value containing the Item Id.

getInnerDHFFields

  • getInnerDHFFields(): IDocFieldHandler[]

  • It is often convenient to work with the "inner field" of a dhf field, where the configuration and values lie.

    Returns IDocFieldHandler[]

    An array of IDocFieldHandlers[]. The length is the number of valid fields.

getLabels

getMaxVersion

  • getMaxVersion(): number

    a valid Field.

    Throws

    Error if there is no such field, either because the name is invalid or it is not within the mask for the Item.

  • Return the Todos associated with this item.

    Parameters
