Add aspect using Client side javascript

[suman_nitt]

I want to add custom aspect on a content if not added already when i click on document library action.

I used record.jsNode.hasAspect("cm:templatable"), to check whether the content has this aspect already. It worked.

But when i try to add the aspect like record.jsNode.addAspect("cm:templatable"), i get javascript error at client side that "addAspect" method is not available.

I have seen the following examples and this approach not worked for me. I believe all this can happen at server side java script.

var props = new Array(1);
props["cm:template"] = document.nodeRef;
document.addAspect("cm:templatable", props);

props = new Array(1);
props["cm:lockIsDeep"] = true;
document.addAspect("cm:lockable", props);

props = new Array(1);
props["cm:hits"] = 1;
document.addAspect("cm:countable", props);

I am looking for a way to add an aspect using client side javascript.

Hello,

there is no way to add an aspect with client side JavaScript without you having to perform an AJAX call on a predefined operation (web script) that implements such a functionality. You can use addAspect in a Repository web script that uses JavaScript for the controller logic, but not on the Share-tier (client JavaScript or Share web script).
As I know of no out-of-the-box web scripts that perform this kind of low-level operation, you would have to write your own. But I would recommend moving your business logic away from the client-side into the Repository backend.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for the response. It was helpful.

Now i created Repository web script and adding aspect to the node with the help of noderef. I am also sending email to group of assignees using this script.

Is it fine that i call Repository web script from share context? How do i pass data like email recipients, noderef to this Repository webscript? Currently i pass as URL parameters. If there is a way to send as JSon data or some other means, please tell me.
