Document Library jsNode Reference

'jsNode' is the preferred object to access node properties and aspects via JavaScript on the browser.

When dealing with DataTable records, 'record.jsNode' should be available. Note: it is the responsibility of any code that updates DataTable records to also ensure the jsNode property is updated (usually within the AJAX success callback).

To create a jsNode instance, use:

   jsNode = new Alfresco.util.Node(p_node)

where p_node can either be a JavaScript object or JSON string. In either case, it should be in the format returned by the doclist-v2 data webscripts.

Methods

getNode	Returns original node object. If a JSON string was passed in, this method returns a JavaScript object.
toJSON	Return the JSON string serialization of the node.
