Where can I find the details about the cloud code request parameters?

[ptw]

Hi,

I'm looking for a list  of the request key-values that define CRUD / Data Type events. Does anyone know what they are or where I can find them?

 

Here's what I mean ...

The request object in a Cloud Code event (e.g. afterDelete on a Data Type) contains some properties and values that explain the type of request being made. For example:

On a data.destroySingle action, the request include the following key-value pairs:

action: "DELETE"
specificAction: "DeleteById"

And for data.destroy(filter) action, the following:

action: "DELETE"
specificAction: "DeleteByFilter"

 

I'm looking for the equivalent key-value pairs that define other CRUD actions (data.create, data.save, data.update etc).

And just in case it helps any of you out there, here's why / how I'm using this ...

I'm changing object ACL permissions and deleting/creating some data items on certain data events. To do this I need to identify the type of request - and thereby know where I can find important parameters within the request object. For example, assuming a request is about a single item (e.g. data.destroySingle) when it's actually a set of items (data.destroy(filter)) leads to errors.

 

Thanks & hope that helps

-Paul

Hello Paul,

You can find a reference of the Cloud Code parameters here. In brief, the other CRUD operations will follow a similar notation like "GetById", "GetByFilter", etc.

In addition, my suggestion would be to check the knowledge base topics for Business Logic for similar cases. They are available as a FAQ section with links to the respective article here. My idea when suggesting this is that you may need to add a numerous checks within the code to ensure that the request completed successfully, the user making the request, if the request contains an item Id or is utilizing a filter and so on. These may be more beneficial and applicable instead of verifying for the request action.

Let me know if you have questions.

EDIT: The second link was edited.
