attachments	object	The attachments for the node
branch	branch	The Branch on which this Association resides.
branchId	string	The ID of the branch that this Association resides on.

Methods

addFeature

Usage

void addFeature()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
void

---

associate

Usage

void associate()

Arguments

None

Return

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

None

Return

Type	Description
void

---

findAssociations

Usage

resultmap findAssociations()

Arguments

None

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.info("Found association: " + association.stringify(true));
}

getFeature

Usage

object getFeature()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
object

---

getIsContainer

Usage

whether the node is a container of "child" nodes getIsContainer()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
whether the node is a container of "child" nodes

---

getIsLocked

Usage

whether the node is locked getIsLocked()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
whether the node is locked

---

getPath

Usage

the default filefolder path for this node getPath()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
the default filefolder path for this node

Examples

In this code sample, we configure a script action for a rule bound with the p:afterAssociatePolicy which will apply a _path property to the target node if it has type my:thing:

function execute(association)
{
var node = association.getTargetNode();
if ("my:thing" === String(node.getType()))
{
logger.info("Applying path property for: " + node.getId());
var path = node.getPath();
if (path)
{
node.data["_path"] = path;
node.save();
}
}
}

---

reload

Usage

void reload()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
void

Examples

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();

// the title is now "Original Title"
var test = (node.properties.title == "Original Title");
// test is true

remove

Usage

void remove()

Arguments

None

Return

node.properties.category = "red";
node.save();

Usage

string stringify()

Arguments

None

Return

Type	Description
