This server class contains methods to operate the database records.
SimpleRecord(tableName)
This method instantiates a SimpleRecord class object for a particular table.
Parameter(s):
Example:
Code Block |
---|
language | js |
---|
theme | Eclipse |
---|
title | SimpleRecord |
---|
linenumbers | true |
---|
|
const taskRecord = new SimpleRecord('task'); |
REM attribute object
The SimpleRecord class has a special object for Record Extended Models – rem_attr that contains information about the REM attributes. Use it to read and edit REM attribute values of the current record with the methods as shown below.
Tip |
---|
rem_attr has a number of methods similar to the methods of the SimpleRecord: Example: record.rem_attr.getValue('my_rem_attribute');
|
Example:
Code Block |
---|
language | js |
---|
theme | Eclipse |
---|
title | get() using REM |
---|
linenumbers | true |
---|
|
const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.get('160638931615274614');
if (record.getReModelId()) {
ss.info(record.rem_attr.description);
} |
addOrCondition(property, operator, value)
This method adds the OR condition to an existing query. It works in conjunction with the addQuery() method. In this method, you can use any necessary operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operators in the scripts.
You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.
Note |
---|
The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator. |
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Valuevalue |
---|
property | String | Y | N Info |
---|
For the REM attributes use the following pattern: '<sys_id>:<attr_name>' where sys_id – the ID of the model that contain the attribute, and attr_name – the system name of the REM attribute. |
|
operator | String (refer to the Condition Operators article for more information) | N | = |
value | Integer or String or Boolean or Array or SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|
SimpleRecord | The instance, where the method was called. |
Examples:
Code Block |
---|
language | js |
---|
theme | Eclipse |
---|
title | addOrCondition() |
---|
linenumbers | true |
---|
|
const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'not work')
record.addOrCondition('description', 'like', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(descriptionLIKEnot work) |

record.addOrCondition('166972638116358001:description', 'contains', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(166972638116358001:descriptionLIKEnot work) |
Info |
---|
It is possible to pass the Reference field value as current.{reference_field_name} instead of the record ID as the addOrCondition() method value. The script example: Code Block |

addQuery(property, operator, value)
With this method you can add a condition to make a selection of records from the database. In this method, you can use any required operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operatorы in the scripts.
You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.
Note |
---|
The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator. |
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Valuevalue |
---|
property | String | Y | N Info |
