How to refer to a child nodeRef in Alfresco-share?

Question

I am working on a custom doclib javascript. I have a folder structure which is similar to A --> B --> C where A and B have multiple children. I have the noderef of the folder A which I have found out through

"this.doclistMetadata.parent.nodeRef"

What is the easiest way to get the uri from the Node "C" while staying at Node A level? Can file path be used for this purpose?

Answer 1

You should get ScriptNode object (ScriptNode class):

var A = this.doclistMetadata.parent;
// or by nodeRef
// var A =  search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/abcdefg-your-A-folder-id");

and use ScriptNode API

var C = A.childByNamePath("B/C");
print(C.name+" nodeRef: "+C.nodeRef.toString());
print(C.name+" children: "+C.childFileFolders());

It works for any ScriptNode object, virtual/smart folders too.
