SimpleRecord Client-Side

This class provides methods for managing the database in client-side scripts: auto population of the fields, displaying some form elements and setting mandatory attribute for them regarding the values set in the Reference Fields.

The SimpleRecord client class allows a user to manage both records in the tables and its fields.

In this class, client-side queries are executed on the server. That is, to get a record data, a request from the client side should be sent to the server.

The functionality of the client-side SimpleRecord class might be not enough for managing some business tasks. In this case, use the SimpleAjax class or Table API.

addQuery()

Use this method to filter the records by specifying certain conditions (field, operator, value). You can also add a condition to get records with a field equal to the value, or that is in the list.

Within this method, it is possible to use any preferred condition operator. Notice that it is necessary to use the system name of the operator in the script.

property	String	Y	N
operator	String	N	N
value	Integer/String/Boolean/Array	Y	N

Return:

Type	Description
Void	This method does not return a value.

Example:

addQuery()

const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('number', 'like', 'TSK');
record.addQuery('subject', 'startswith', 'Email');
record.query(() => {
    while (record.next()) {
        console.log(record.number); // TSK0000128
    }
});

---

Use this method to delete the current record.

Parameter(s):

});
 
function callback(response) {
    const answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
    if (answer == '1') {

responseFunction	Function	N	N
property	String	N	N
value	Any	N	N

Return:

Type	Description
