content

The following properties are metadata fields about the object:

The following properties contain the payload of the document itself:

For example, you can work with metadata about the currently selected object as follows:

var id = content.id;
var typeId = content.typeId;
var endpointId = content.endpointId;
var timestamp = content.timestamp;
var isLoaded = content.isLoaded;
var statusCode = content.statusCode;
var statusMessage = content.statusMessage;
var modifiedDate = content.properties["cm:modified"];

You can also write components that work with the data of the object. This is particularly useful if you are dispatching from XML of Web Form based objects:

var text = content.text;
var xml = context.xml;

// parse the xml and load properties into our model
var e4x = new XML(content.xml);
model.productName = e4x.*::name.toString();
model.productDescription = e4x.*::description.toString();

Where the XML could be the following:

<pr:product xmlns:alf="http://www.alfresco.org"
            xmlns:chiba="http://chiba.sourceforge.net/xforms"
            xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
