Can we start Sharepoint Designer site Workflow from javascript button click?
For SharePoint 2013 workflow:
function StartWF() {
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowInstanceService.Current/StartWorkflowOnListItemBySubscriptionId(subscriptionId='BB20B816-2AEF-4299-B6BF-43910578BA8F',itemId=' " + $("#drpItem option:selected").text() + "')",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
},
success: function (data) {
alert('Workflow Trigger Successfully');
},
error: function (data) {
alert("Error");
}
});
}
Detailed information in this thread
I remember you can do this. Should be something line __workflowStart when executing postback. You can take a look at this link for more details.

dwrt:GenFireServerEvent is translated into JavaScript with __doPostBack, by the way.
I am using an old SharePoint 2010 product.
Inside my site, I created a Status list which looks like this:
I found some Web Service API method which allows me to update some records like UpdateListItems() or UpdateList()
Can you please tell me how to build an update request to update the Status field based on the CaseNumber# field?
We can use listdata.svc to update list item based on the casenumber field. The following example code for your reference, modify the variables and add the code into a content editor web part, click the button to update list item.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateListItem() {
var siteUrl="http://sp2010";
var listName="StatusList";
var caseNumber="456798";
var itemProperties={
'Status': 'Approval'
};
$.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/"+listName+"?$filter=CaseNumber eq '"+caseNumber+"'",
type: "GET",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
},
success: function (data) {
var item=data.d.results[0];
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: item.__metadata.uri,
contentType: 'application/json',
processData: false,
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
"If-Match": item.__metadata.etag
},
data: Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(itemProperties),
success: function (data) {
alert("succeeded.");
},
error: function (data) {
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
},
error: function (err) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
}
});
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="update list item" onclick="updateListItem()"/>
When I create document library in SharePoint via Client REST APIs I get different fields to identify library (like Title, EntityTypeName, Id). Sample response when I create library named "Школьные материалы 2.":
{
"d": {
"__metadata": {
"id": "https://somesite.sharepoint.com/sites/Team_49de5296/_api/Web/Lists(guid'd94587ec-ff65-4b61-b0e8-2a00513494ee')"
…
},
…
"DocumentTemplateUrl": "/sites/Team_49de5296/2/Forms/template.dotx",
…
"EntityTypeName": "2",
"Id": "d94587ec-ff65-4b61-b0e8-2a00513494ee",
"ParentWebUrl": "/sites/Team_49de5296",
"Title": "Школьные материалы 2."
}
}
Though when I go to the SharePoint portal the URL for the library is https://somesite.sharepoint.com/sites/Team_49de5296/2/Forms/AllItems.aspx. Platform that I use supports only listUrls and for my library it is "/sites/Team_49de5296/2". How can I get it from the Create Document Library Response? Should I do separate query to get it? What property would it be?
Yes, its not available in the Created list response.
But you can get it from a deferred property called RootFolder which will have a URL to make that request . It is not available by default for performance reasons.
So, you can modify from below sample code:
var siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
var fullUrl = siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists";
$.ajax({
url: fullUrl,
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify({
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.List' },
'BaseTemplate': 100,
'Title': "Test JS List"
}),
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
},
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
// get the RootFolder endpoint
var listRootFolderEndpoint = data.d.RootFolder["__deferred"]["uri"];
$.getJSON(listRootFolderEndpoint, function( rootFolderListData ) {
// Make a GET request and then get data
console.log(rootFolderListData);
var listServerRelativeUrl = rootFolderListData.ServerRelativeUrl);
});
},
error: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});?
How can i access all the contenttypes for a particular docset using javascript
Using server model we can achieve it by
var ctIds = ds.ContentTypeTemplate.AllowedContentTypes;
//1
foreach (SPContentTypeId ctId in ctIds)
{
Console.WriteLine(ctId); //print Content Type Id
}
But how to achieve this in CSOM
You can call a rest api call on that said list:
jQuery.ajax({
url: "_api/web/Lists/getbytitle('LIST NAME')/items?$select=Title,ContentTypeId",
type: "GET",
cache: false,
headers: {
"accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": jQuery("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
},
success: function(data) {
// CT in data.d.ContentTypes.results
},
error: function() {
}});
This will return all CT that are associated with this document set list.
Can anyone explain or point me to a link with samples of doing Update, Delete using Jquery with the SharePoint 2010 Rest API?
I have the insert working and of course queries since the MSDN documentation explains and every tutorial on the net explains queries but just wondering if anyone ever inserts, updates, deletes data instead of only samples and tutorials on querying? Yes I know I can use the CSOM but I want to learn how this is done via jquery and sharepoint rest?
Also I want to use Merge for updating.
Here's the working insert code:
function insertMilestone() {
var mileStonesListUrl = "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Milestones";
var milestone = {};
milestone.Title = "Testing from REST";
var entry = JSON.stringify(milestone);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: mileStonesListUrl,
data: entry,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.statusText);
},
success: function () {
getAll();
}
});
}
How to perform CRUD operations using SharePoint 2010 REST Interface
Create
In order to perform a Create operation via REST, you must perform the following actions:
Create an HTTP request using the POST verb.
Use the service URL of the list to which you want to add an entity as
the target for the POST.
Set the content type to application/json.
Serialize the JSON objects that represent your new list items as a
string, and add this value to the request body
JavaScript example:
function createListItem(webUrl,listName, itemProperties, success, failure) {
$.ajax({
url: webUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + listName,
type: "POST",
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
data: JSON.stringify(itemProperties),
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"
},
success: function (data) {
success(data.d);
},
error: function (data) {
failure(data.responseJSON.error);
}
});
}
Usage
var taskProperties = {
'TaskName': 'Order Approval',
'AssignedToId': 12
};
createListItem('https://contoso.sharepoint.com/project/','Tasks',taskProperties,function(task){
console.log('Task' + task.TaskName + ' has been created');
},
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
);
Read
In order to perform a Read operation via REST, you must perform the following actions:
Create an HTTP request using the GET verb.
Use the service URL of the list item to which you want to add an
entity as the target for the GET.
Set the content type to application/json.
JavaScript example:
function getListItemById(webUrl,listName, itemId, success, failure) {
var url = webUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + listName + "(" + itemId + ")";
$.ajax({
url: url,
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
success(data.d);
},
error: function (data) {
failure(data.responseJSON.error);
}
});
}
Usage
getListItemById('https://contoso.sharepoint.com/project/','Tasks',2,function(taskItem){
console.log(taskItem.TaskName);
},
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
);
Update
To update an existing entity, you must perform the following actions:
Create an HTTP request using the POST verb.
Add an X-HTTP-Method header with a value of MERGE.
Use the service URL of the list item you want to update as the target
for the POST
Add an If-Match header with a value of the entity’s original ETag.
JavaScript example:
function updateListItem(webUrl,listName,itemId,itemProperties,success, failure)
{
getListItemById(webUrl,listName,itemId,function(item){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: item.__metadata.uri,
contentType: 'application/json',
processData: false,
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
"If-Match": item.__metadata.etag
},
data: Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(itemProperties),
success: function (data) {
success(data);
},
error: function (data) {
failure(data);
}
});
},
function(error){
failure(error);
});
}
Usage
var taskProperties = {
'TaskName': 'Approval',
'AssignedToId': 12
};
updateListItem('https://contoso.sharepoint.com/project/','Tasks',2,taskProperties,function(item){
console.log('Task has been updated');
},
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
);
Delete
To delete an entity, you must perform the following actions:
Create an HTTP request using the POST verb.
Add an X-HTTP-Method header with a value of DELETE.
Use the service URL of the list item you want to update as the target
for the POST
Add an If-Match header with a value of the entity’s original ETag.
JavaScript example:
function deleteListItem(webUrl, listName, itemId, success, failure) {
getListItemById(webUrl,listName,itemId,function(item){
$.ajax({
url: item.__metadata.uri,
type: "POST",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-Http-Method": "DELETE",
"If-Match": item.__metadata.etag
},
success: function (data) {
success();
},
error: function (data) {
failure(data.responseJSON.error);
}
});
},
function (error) {
failure(error);
});
}
Usage
deleteListItem('https://contoso.sharepoint.com/project/','Tasks',3,function(){
console.log('Task has been deleted');
},
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
);
Please follow List Items manipulation via REST API in SharePoint 2010 article for a more details.
Here is the update and delete, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be and it works.
Hopefully this will help someone out because there is so much bogus information on using the REST API and I see a zillion posts on querying but none on Insert, Update, Delete.
//update
function updateMilestone(id) {
var mileStonesUrl = "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Milestones";
mileStonesUrl = mileStonesUrl + "(" + id+ ")";
var beforeSendFunction;
var milestoneModifications = {};
milestoneModifications.Title = "Updated from REST";
var updatedMilestoneData = JSON.stringify(milestoneModifications);
//update exsiting milestone
beforeSendFunction = function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Match", "*");
// Using MERGE so that the entire entity doesn't need to be sent over the wire.
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-HTTP-Method", 'MERGE');
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
processData: false,
beforeSend: beforeSendFunction,
url: mileStonesUrl,
data: updatedMilestoneData,
dataType: "json",
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.statusText);
},
success: function () {
alert("Updated");
getAll();
}
});
function deleteMilestone(id) {
var mileStonesUrl = "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Milestones";
mileStonesUrl = mileStonesUrl + "(" + id+ ")";
$.ajax({
type: "DELETE",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
processData: false,
url: mileStonesUrl,
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.statusText);
},
success: function () {
alert("deleted");
getAll();
}
});
}
}
I recently worked with the REST API for SP 2013, as a Example POC that can be used for any call implementation i.e. JQuery, C# etc.
Using POSTMAN
First get your digest token:
A method was found on this site : http://tech.bool.se/basic-rest-request-sharepoint-using-postman/
[Credit where credit is due]
POST
http://<SharePoint Domain Url>/sites/<Site name>/_api/contextinfo
Header:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Body:
Clear the body
From the payload use "FormDigestValue" value and put it into your headers with the key : X-RequestDigest when making actions that alter items in SharePoint.
Reading data:
GET
http://<SharePoint Domain Url>/sites/<Site name>/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/Sites/<Site Name>/Shared Documents/My Folder')/files?$select=Name
Headers:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
When it comes to create, update , delete you need the digest token or an authorization token to perform these actions, this token is highlighted at the begining to to retrieve.
Creating Data
POST
http://<SharePoint Domain Url>/sites/<Site Name>/_api/web/folders
Headers:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
X-RequestDigest : 'GUID looking toking'
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
Body:
{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'ServerRelativeUrl': '/Sites/<Site Name>/Shared Documents/Some Folder/POC3'}
Note:
'ServerRelativeUrl' the folder on the end POC3 is the folder that I want to create

Note: PostMan was used for this example and other application may need you to url encode the endpoint.
The above Request Structure can be used for all requests, the related resource highlights some of the standard methods that can be used with the REST Api
