Methods
add
(source code)add(items, options)
Add items into a Sharepoint List note: A Date must be provided as "YYYY-MM-DD" (only date comparison) or "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" (date AND time comparison), or you can use $SP().toSPDate(new Date()) note: A person must be provided as "-1;#email" (e.g. "-1;#foo@bar.com") OR NT login with double \ (eg "-1;#europe\\foo_bar") OR the user ID as a number note SP2013: If "-1;#" doesn't work on Sharepoint 2013, then try with "i:0#.w|" (e.g. "i:0#.w|europe\\foo_bar") ("i:0#.w|" may vary based on your authentification system -- see https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13921.sharepoint-20102013-claims-encoding.aspx) note: A lookup value must be provided as "X;#value", with X the ID of the value from the lookup list. --> it should also be possible to not pass the value but only the ID, e.g.: "X;#" or the ID as a number without anything else note: A URL field must be provided as "http://www.website.com, Name" note: A multiple selection of People/Users must be provided as "userID1;#email1;#userID2;#email2;#userID3;#email3", with "userID" that could be "-1" if you don't know it, and "email" that could also be an NT Login; if you know the correct userID then nothing else is required (e.g. "158;#;#27655;#" will add the users with ID 158 and 27655) note: A multiple selection must be provided as ";#choice 1;#choice 2;#", or just pass an array as the value and it will do the trick note: A multiple selection of Lookup must be provided as ";#X;#Choice 1;#Y;#Choice 2;#" (with X the ID for "Choice 1", and "Y" for "Choice 2") --> it should also be possible to not pass the values but only the ID, e.g.: ";#X;#;#Y;#;#" note: A Yes/No checkbox must be provided as "1" (for TRUE) or "0" (for "False") note: A Term / Taxonomy / Managed Metadata field must be provided as "0;#|UniqueIdentifier" for the special hidden related column (see https://github.com/Aymkdn/SharepointPlus/wiki/ to know more) note: You cannot change the Approval Status when adding, you need to use the $SP().moderate function
Parameters:
Object|Array
items
List of items (e.g. [{Field_x0020_Name: "Value", OtherField: "new value"}, {Field_x0020_Name: "Value2", OtherField: "new value2"}])
Object
options Optional
Options (see below)
Number
options.packetsize Optional, Default: 30
If you have too many items to add, then we use `packetsize` to cut them into several requests (because Sharepoint cannot handle too many items at once)
Function
options.progress Optional
(current,max) If you provide more than 'packetsize' items then they will be treated by packets and you can use "progress" to know more about the steps
Boolean
options.breakOnFailure Optional, Default: false
If you add more than `packetsize` items, then they will be added by packet; by setting `breakOnFailure=true` it will cause the process to stop if at least one item from a packet has failed
Boolean
options.escapeChar Optional, Default: true
Determines if we want to escape the special chars that will cause an error (for example '&' will be automatically converted to '&')
String
options.rootFolder Optional, Default: ''
When dealing with Discussion Board you need to provide the rootFolder of the Message when you post a reply
Returns:
Promise
resolve({passed, failed}), reject(error)
Example:
// to add 1 item
$SP().list("My List").add({Title:"Ok"});
// to add several items
$SP().list("List Name").add([{Title:"Ok"}, {Title:"Good"}]).then(function(items) { alert("Done!"); });
$SP().list("My List","http://my.sharepoi.nt/dir/").add({Title:"Ok"}).then(function(items) {
if (items.failed.length > 0) {
for (let i=0; i < items.failed.length; i++) console.log("Error '"+items.failed[i].errorMessage+"' with:"+items.failed[i].Title); // the 'errorMessage' attribute is added to the object
}
if (items.passed.length > 0) {
for (let i=0; i < items.passed.length; i++) console.log("Success for:"+items.passed[i].Title+" (ID:"+items.passed[i].ID+")");
}
});
// different ways to add John and Tom into the table
$SP().list("List Name").add({Title:"John is the Tom's Manager",Manager:"-1;#john@compagny.com",Report:"-1;#tom@compagny.com"}); // if you don't know the ID
$SP().list("My List").add({Title:"John is the Tom's Manager",Manager:"157",Report:"874"}); // if you know the Lookup ID
// Calendar events:
// - you must define "EventDate" and "EndDate"
// - for a full day event you have to define "fAllDayEvent" to "1"
// - for recurrent events you have to define "RecurrenceData" and you can either provide an already formatted XML string or the recurrence object that will then be converted with $SP().parseRecurrence()
// EXAMPLE: event occurs every week on monday and friday, until December 31, 2019, between 10am and 11am, starting from December 20, 2018
// EventDate is the StartTime and must be the same as EndDate (except for the Time)
$SP().list("My Calendar").add({
Title:"Team Meeting",
EventDate:"2018-12-20 10:00:00", // the Date part is when the recurrent event starts, and the Time part will be used for each event
EndDate:"2019-12-31 11:00:00", // it must be the last Date/Time for the meeting, then the Time is used as an end time for each event
RecurrenceData: {
"type":"weekly",
"frequency":1,
"on":{
"monday":true,
"friday":true
},
"endDate":new Date(2019,11,31,11,0,0) // December 31, 2019, at 11am
}
})
// for Discussion Board, please refer to https://github.com/Aymkdn/SharepointPlus/wiki/Sharepoint-Discussion-Board

(source code)cleanResult(str, separator)
clean a string returned by a GET (remove ";#" and "string;#" and null becomes "")
Parameters:
String
str
The string to clean
String
separator Optional, Default: ";"
When it's a list we may want to have a different output (see examples)

get
(source code)get(options)
Get the content of the list based on different criteria (by default the default view is used)
Parameters:
Object
options Optional
Options (see below)
String
options.fields Optional, Default: ""
The fields you want to grab (be sure to add "Attachments" as a field if you want to know the direct link to an attachment)
String
options.view Optional, Default: ""
If you specify a viewID or a viewName that exists for that list, then the fields/where/order settings for this view will be used in addition to the FIELDS/WHERE/ORDERBY you have defined (the user settings will be used first)
String
options.viewCache Optional, Default: true
If several calls are done using option 'view', then the view's details are put in cache by default
Boolean
options.json Optional, Default: false
When TRUE then the data returned will be an array of JSON
String|Array
options.where Optional, Default: ""
The query string (like SQL syntax) (you'll need to use double \\ before the inside ' -- see example below); you can use an array that will make the sequential requests but it will return all the data into one array (useful for the Sharepoint 2010 throttling limit)
Boolean
options.whereCAML Optional, Default: false
If you want to pass a WHERE clause that is with CAML Syntax only instead of SQL-like syntax -- see $SP().parse() for more info
Boolean
options.whereEscapeChar Optional, Default: true
Determines if we want to escape the special chars that will cause an error (for example '&' will be automatically converted to '&') -- this is applied to the WHERE clause only
Function
options.whereFct Optional, Default: function(w){return w}
Permits to apply your own function on the WHERE clause after conversion to CAML (can be useful also when you use the "view" parameter)
Function
options.progress Optional
When using an array for the WHERE or the PAGING option then you can call the progress function (see the example); one parameter when PAGING that is the number of total items already loaded; two parameters when WHERE as an array that are the number of requests done and the total number of requests that will be sent
String
options.orderby Optional, Default: ""
The field used to sort the list result (you can also add "ASC" -default- or "DESC")
String
options.groupby Optional, Default: ""
The field used to group by the list result; NOTE: it's an option provided by Sharepoint WebService, but it doesn't really do anything special on the results...
Integer
options.rowlimit Optional, Default: 0
You can define the number of rows you want to receive back (0 is infinite)
Boolean
options.paging Optional, Default: false
If you have defined the 'rowlimit' then you can use 'paging' to cut by packets your full request -- this is useful when there is a list view threshold (attention: we cannot use "WHERE" or "ORDERBY" with this option)
Integer
options.page Optional, Default: infinite
When you use the `paging` option, several requests will be done until we get all the data, but using the `page` option you can define the number of requests/pages you want to get
String
options.listItemCollectionPositionNext Optional, Default: ""
When doing paging, this is the index used by Sharepoint to get the next/previous page
Boolean
options.useIndexForOrderBy Optional, Default: false
Based on https://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/280642#post1323410 it permits to override the 5,000 items limit in an unique call (for Sharepoint 2010 only) -- see the example below to know how to use it
Boolean
options.expandUserField Optional, Default: false
When you get a user field, you can have more information (like name,email,sip,...) by switching this to TRUE
Boolean
options.dateInUTC Optional, Default: false
TRUE to return dates in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format. FALSE to return dates in ISO format.
Boolean
options.showListInAttribute Optional, Default: false
When we call a single list, it permits to add the ListName in the attribute (see example)
String
options.alias Optional, Default: listName
In case of a "join" or when "showListInAttribute" is true, we can use a different name for the list to be shown
Array
options.merge Optional
Permits to merge several lists together and return only one dataset; obviously it makes more sense to use this option when you have tables in different locations, but with the same columns. It must be an array of the same settings as $SP().list().get(). Each row of the dataset will have an extra `Source` parameter to know from where the data is coming from (see an example below)
Object
options.folderOptions Optional
Permits to read the content of a Document Library (see below)
String
options.folderOptions.path Optional, Default: ""
Relative path of the folders we want to explore (by default it's the root of the document library)
String
options.folderOptions.show Optional, Default: "FilesAndFolders_InFolder"
Four values: "FilesOnly_Recursive" that lists all the files recursively from the provided path (and its children); "FilesAndFolders_Recursive" that lists all the files and folders recursively from the provided path (and its children); "FilesOnly_InFolder" that lists all the files from the provided path; "FilesAndFolders_InFolder" that lists all the files and folders from the provided path
String
options.folderOptions.rootFolder Optional, Default: ""
It's the full URL to the document library; if not provided, it will be automatically retrieved
Boolean
options.queryOptions Optional
If you want to provide your own QueryOptions and overwrite the ones built for you -- it should be some XML code (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.getlistitems%28v=office.12%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)
Object
options.join Optional
Permits to create a JOIN closure between the current list and another one: it will be the same syntax than a regular GET (see the example below)
String
options.join.list Optional
Permits to establish the link between two lists (see the example below)
String
options.join.url Optional, Default: 'current website'
The website url (if different than the current website)
String
options.join.on Optional
Permits to establish the link between two lists (only between the direct parent list and its child, not with the grand parent) (see the example below)
String
options.join.onLookup Optional
Permits to establish the link between two lists based on a lookup field... it's more optimized than the simple `join.on` (see the example below)
Boolean
options.join.outer Optional, Default: false
If you want to do an outer join (you can also directly use "outerjoin" instead of "join")
Boolean
options.calendar Optional, Default: false
If you want to get the events from a Calendar List
Object
options.calendarOptions Optional
Options that will be used when "calendar:true" (see the example to know how to use it)
Boolean
options.calendarOptions.splitRecurrence Optional, Default: true
By default we split the events with a recurrence (so 1 item = 1 day of the recurrence)
String|Date
options.calendarOptions.referenceDate Optional, Default: today
This is the date used to retrieve the events -- that can be a JS Date object or a SP Date (String) [attention: if 'splitRecurrence' is FALSE, then Sharepoint will ignore this 'referenceDate'...]
String
options.calendarOptions.range Optional, Default: "Month"
By default we have all the events in the reference month (based on the referenceDate), but we can restrict it to a week with "Week" (from Monday to Sunday) (see https://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2018/07/09/sharepoint-daterangesoverlap-value/)
Returns:
Promise
resolve(data returned by the server), reject(error from $SP().ajax())
Example:
$SP().list("List Name").get().then(function(data) {
for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++) console.log(data[i].getAttribute("Title"));
});
// with some fields and an orderby command

}).then(function(row) {

});
// We have a list called "My List" with a view already set that is called "Marketing View" with some FIELDS and a WHERE clause

// -> return <And><And><Or><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType" /><Value Type="Text">My Content Type</Value></Eq><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name="Description" /></IsNotNull></Or><Geq><FieldRef Name="Fiscal_x0020_Week" /><Value Type="Number">43</Value></Geq></And><Lt><FieldRef Name="Result_x0020_Date" /><Value Type="DateTime">2012-02-03</Value></Lt></And>
// available operators :
// "<" : less than
// "<=" : less than or equal to
// ">" : greater than
// ">=" : greater than or equal to
// "<>" : different
// "~=" : this must be only used when comparing to a number that represents a User or List ID (e.g. 'User ~= 328') - that permits to query a list with indexed lookup column
// "~<>" : same as before, except that we exclude the value (e.g. 'User ~<> 328')
// " AND "
// " OR "
// " LIKE " : for example 'Title LIKE "foo"' will return "foobar" "foo" "barfoobar" "barfoo" and so on
// " IN " : for example 'Location IN ["Los Angeles","San Francisco","New York"]', equivalent to 'Location = "Los Angeles" OR Location = "San Francisco" OR Location = "New York"' — SP2013 limits each IN to 60 items. If you want to check Lookup IDs instead of text you can use '~' followed by the ID, for example 'Location IN ["~23", "~26", "~30"]'
// special words:
// '[Me]' : for the current user
// '[Today]' : to use the today date
// '[Today+X]' : to use today + X days
// Null : for the Null value
// TRUE : for the Yes/No columns
// FALSE : for the Yes/No columns
// in the below example, on the "&" will be escaped
var bar="Bob & Marley";
var foo="O'Conney";
$SP().parse('Bar = "'+bar+'" AND Foo = "'+foo+'"'); // -> <And><Eq><FieldRef Name="Bar" /><Value Type="Text">Bob & Marley</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name="Foo" /><Value Type="Text">O'Conney</Value></Eq></And>
