childFileFolders

The childFileFolders methods are used to obtain an array of child files and folders for the node.

childFileFolders()

Returns an array of child files and folders for the node.

Returns

Returns a JavaScript array of child file and folder nodes for the node. It automatically retrieves all sub-types of cm:content and cm:folder, and removes system type folders from the results.

Example

var nodes = node.childFileFolders();

childFileFolders(files, folders)

Returns an array of child files and folders for the node, and as modified by parameters.

Parameters

files
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that files extending from cm:content should be returned.
folders
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that folders extending from cm:folder should be returned, ignoring sub-types of cm:systemfolder.

Returns

Returns a JavaScript array of child file and folder nodes for the node. It automatically retrieves all sub-types of cm:content and cm:folder, and removes system type folders from the results.

Example

var nodes = node.childFileFolders(false, true); // don't return files

childFileFolders(files, folders, ignoreTypes)

Returns an array of child files and folders for the node, and as modified by parameters.

Parameters

files
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that files extending from cm:content should be returned.
folders
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that folders extending from cm:folder should be returned, ignoring sub-types of cm:systemfolder.
ignoreTypes
Can be set to filter nodes of the specified type or types from the results returned. The type is specified in either long or short QName string form, as a single string or as an array of strings to filter multiple types.

Returns

Returns a JavaScript array of child file and folder nodes for the node. It automatically retrieves all sub-types of cm:content and cm:folder, and removes system type folders from the results.

Example

var nodes = node.childFileFolders(true, true, "cm:folder"); // ignore folders
var nodes = node.childFileFolders(true, true, ["cm:folder", "st:sites"]); // ignores folders and sites

childFileFolders(files, folders, ignoreTypes, maxItems)

Returns a ScriptPagingNode object containing child files and folders for the node, as well as information to control paging of results. Parameters can be used to filter results. It is also possible to limit the number of nodes returned in the results.
CAUTION:
This method is deprecated in version 4.0.

Parameters

files
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that files extending from cm:content should be returned.
folders
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that folders extending from cm:folder should be returned, ignoring sub-types of cm:systemfolder.
ignoreTypes
Can be set to filter nodes of the specified type or types from the results returned. The type is specified in either long or short QName string form, as a single string or as an array of strings to filter multiple types.
maxItems
An integer value which sets the maximum number of results to return.

Returns

Returns a ScriptPagingNode object. The results are limited to the number specified by maxItems.

Example

    var nodeNames = new Array();
    var nodes = null;
    var maxItems = 10;

    var results = companyhome.childFileFolders(true, false, "st:sites", maxItems);

    nodes = results.getPage();
    
    for (var n in nodes){
        nodeNames.push(nodes[n]['name']);
    }
        

childFileFolders(files, folders, ignoreTypes, skipOffset, maxItems, requestTotalCountMax, sortProp, sortAsc, queryExecutionId)

Returns child files and folders of the node.

Parameters

files
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that files extending from cm:content should be returned.
folders
A boolean value which if set to true specifies that folders extending from cm:folder should be returned, ignoring sub-types of cm:systemfolder.
ignoreTypes
Can be set to filter nodes of the specified type or types from the results returned. The type is specified in either long or short QName string form, as a single string or as an array of strings to filter multiple types.
skipOffset
Number of items to skip. For example 0, or number of pages to skip * size of page.
maxItems
An integer value which sets the maximum number of items, the size of the page.
requestTotalCountMax
Request total count (up to a given max total count) Note, if set to 0 then total count is not requested and the query might be able to optimise/cutoff for max items.
sortProp
Optional sort property as a prefix QName string, for example cm:name. Also supports special content cases such as cm:content.size and cm:content.mimetype.
sortAsc
A boolean value. If true nodes will be sorted in ascending order, if false nodes will be sorted in descending order.
queryExecutionId
If paging then can pass back the previous query execution (as a hint for possible query optimization). Note this parameter is not used, it is reserved for future use.

Returns

Returns a ScriptPagingNode containing child file and folder nodes for the node. It automatically retrieves all sub-types of cm:content and cm:folder, and removes system type folders from the results.

Example

    var queryExecutionId = null; // reserved for future use

    var results;
    var nodeNames = new Array(); // just store file names in a list
    var resultsTrimmed = false;
    var nodes = null;

    // get files ordered by name (exclude folders and st:sites)
    results = companyhome.childFileFolders(true, false, "st:sites", 0, 100, 0, "cm:name", true, queryExecutionId);

    nodes = results.getPage();
    
    for (var n in nodes){
        nodeNames.push(nodes[n]['name']);
    }

    resultsTrimmed = results.hasMoreItems(); // did we get all possible child files/folders?
