    Returns {
        [name: string]: AltId<T>;
    }

    Example

    // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those

  • An object of alternate ids for this object, with values as strings

    Returns {
        [name: string]: string;
    }

    • [name: string]: string

  • Same as calling optAncestor(var).orElse(null)

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • classType: string | number

    Returns B

  • If this object is a Collection it returns it as an array. The majority of objects in the system are Collections. For most objects, this is the same as calling [[children]].

    Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

    Example

    const ids = obj.asArray().map(ob => ob);
    
  • Get the children of the object. This retrieval goes one level deep.

    Parameters

    • Optional classType: string | number

    Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

    Example

    const childrenNames = obj.children().map(child => child.displayName());
    
  • Clears a document field to no longer reference a document. If shouldDelete is true, it will also delete the document it's referencing. If shouldDelete is false, it will leave the document untouched. If shouldDelete is absent, it will follow the document's cleanup policy (defined in field edit).

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

  • Same as calling documentVersions().permUrl(). See [[DocumentVersions.permUrl]]

    Returns string

  • Same as calling documentVersions().referenceCount(). See [[DocumentVersions.referenceCount]]

    Returns number

  • Same as calling documentVersions().rename(filename). See [[DocumentVersions.rename]]

    Parameters

    • filename: string

    Returns void

  • Reset the current object so that it is cleared from the cache and looked up from the database.

    Returns void

  • Same as calling documentVersions().thumbnail(thumbnailSettings). See [[DocumentVersions.thumbnail]]

    Parameters

    Returns string

  • Returns the bluestep.js classpath for the current object.

    Returns string

    Example

    const isBool = testForm.fields.mysteryField.typeName().toLowerCase().includes('boolean')
    
  • Makes changes to the database for this object

    Returns void

  • Gets the field's value if there is one, and will otherwise return null. Some overrides of this method have default return-values for convenience but, that would not make sense for this: the general-use case. In situations where the value might be null (e.g. non required field), consider using optional chaining: field.val()?.toString(). The preferred method to handle nulls in bs.js is simply [[opt]]/[[valOpt]]; as the methods available off of that can handle virtually any situation.

    This is identical to calling field.opt().orElse(null).

    Returns any

    Example

    // it is important to notice that, due to how JavaScript works, doubleVal will evaluate to 0 if numberField.val() is null.
    const doubleVal = numberField.val() * 2;
  • Set the field's value.

    Parameters

    • newValue: any

      The value to be put into the field.

    Returns void

    Example

    // make the field say `hello`
    field.val('hello');
  • Optional value for this field. Alias for [[opt]].

    Returns Optional<any>

    Example

    date.valOpt().map(val => `Report Date: ${val}`).orElse('No Date');
    
    explore example
    [[Java.Optional.map]], [[Java.Optional.orElse]]
  • Returns string

  • The version of this object or empty string if it doesn't exist.

    Returns string

    Example

    const version = baseObject.version();
    
  • Same as calling documentVersions().versioned(). See [[DocumentVersions.versioned]]

    Parameters

    • versioned: boolean

    Returns void

  • Returns a view URL for this object, if it has one. This value is always a relative URL, meaning it does not contain the protocol prefix or domain name such as http://xyz.bluestep.net.

    Returns string

    Example

    const viewBtn = `<button data-href="${baseObject.viewUrl()}">Go to ${baseObject.displayName()}</button>;
