Node API

removedquasar

I'm making a custom action and i want to change the description of a file (node), inside alfresco.

I saw that there are methods like setTitle and setDescription but i found them only for actions or others (wiki pages ecc).

Those methods are aviable for nodes? (if yes please tell me which API is). Thanks.

Hello,

the description of a file is a regular property of the node that represents that file. The JavaScript API has a simplification for this, so you can set the description via a setDescription method (or the shorthand version of node.description = "new description";). When writing a custom action in Java, you need to use the Alfresco Foundation API / Services to work with nodes / NodeRef. In order to alter the description, you need to use the NodeService and either one of its addProperties / setProperty methods. The Alfresco wiki contains a Cookbook on working with nodes that might be of interest to you.

Okay but a little question: the "description property" of the file, exist as default or i have to create it inside my custom model?

I saw this line:

nodeService.getProperty(nodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME);‍

ContentModel is a custom or default model? Because PROP_NAME doesen't work in my code.

Hello,

ContentModel is a default model - you should be able to import it if working against the SDK or the alfresco data model JAR.
