JavaScript for showing/manipulating rules

I want to automate a few checks concerning rules (e.g. check whether rules are disabled, apply to subfolders etc.). It seems there is no JavaScript API for showing/manipulating rules.

I can answer my own question. The property "parameterValue" is not a script uuid, url or whatever, but rather the script node itself. I didn't know that a node property can be a node - you always learn something new. Using a node in a string context results in the strange list of aspects.

The following JavaScript snippet does what I want:


for (prop in node.properties ) {
    if ( prop == '{http://www.alfresco.org/model/action/1.0}parameterValue' 
    && node.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/action/1.0}parameterName"] == 'script-ref' ) {
    var scriptNodeName =  node.properties[prop].properties.name );
       // [… do something with scriptNodeName]
    } else {
       var nodePropertyValue = node.properties[prop] );
      //  [… do something with nodePropertyValue] 
    }
}

I have a similar need, any chance you could share all of your code? Much appreciated.
