Methods

associate

Usage

void associate()

Arguments

None

Type Description
void

Examples

Simple Association

In this code sample, we associate a node to a target node using the a:child association type.

var targetNode = branch.readNode("some_guid");
var association = node.associate(targetNode, "a:child");
Directed Association with Properties

In this code sample, we associate this node from a source node a:child association type and some custom properties.
The custom properties are stored on the association.

var sourceNode = branch.readNode("some_guid");
var object = {
"weight": 3
};
var association = node.associate(targetNode, "a:child", "INCOMING", object);

del

Usage

void del()

Arguments

findAssociations

Usage

resultmap findAssociations()

Arguments

Return

Type Description
resultmap

Examples

In this code sample, we find any incoming associations for a node that are of type a:child. These associations start
from a different node and point to our node.

var associations = node.findAssociations({
"direction": "INCOMING",
"type": "a:child"
});

The associations object is a key/value map where each key is the ID of an association. The value is the association
itself.

for (var id in associations)
{
var association = associations[id];
logger.log("Found association: " + association.stringify(true));
}

In this code sample, we make changes to a node and then reload to restore the original values.

// set the title to "Original Title"
node.properties.title = "Original Title";
node.save();

// change the title
node.properties.title = "Changed Title";

// reload
node.reload();
