NodeRef syntax in JavaScript API

Hi Alfresco,

I'm trying to add categories to a document but started with a locale as this seems less complex to start with. Problem is I need to assign a nodeRef to the property but how should this nodeRef look like? In the node browser a nodeRef looks like workspace://SpacesStore/666345ce-1d81-11db-b398-13c0b9d26600 but it isn't accepted in my JavaScript. What am I doing wrong?

var folder = companyhome;
var copy = document.copy(folder);
if (copy != null)
{
   copy.name = "new_";
   // Add the English category to the document
   var nodeRef = "workspace://SpacesStore/666345ce-1d81-11db-b398-13c0b9d26600";
   document.properties["cm:locale"] = nodeRef;
   copy.save();
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The JavaScript API does not deal with NodeRef values - everything is wrapped in an OO style API, so it deals with scriptable Node objects. This means any 'd:noderef' property value should be assigned a Node object directly.

So you need to get hold the Node that represents your category - by query i expect or from an existing Node that has the category you need already assigned.

var folder = companyhome;
var copy = document.copy(folder);
if (copy != null)
{
   copy.name = "new_";
   // Add the English category to the document 
   var node = search.luceneSearch(……)[0];
   document.properties["cm:locale"] = node;
   copy.save();
}
