How to Get the NodeRef of the Opened Document in Alfresco Share

[kdkanishka]

Hello Dudes,
I am planning to generate direct download link from the client side when user open a document in document details window. In order to do that I want to access noderef of the opened document. Can someone mention how to access noderef of the opened document from alfresco share client side (javascript).

You need a direct download link, but there is one already, in the Document Actions component? It looks something like this:

http://dev:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/d270106f-a784-4624-8b7d-...

Also, it depends in which component you want this. Ie. Alfresco.DocumentMetadata client-side component, or WebPreview, they already have this in

this.options.nodeRef‍

. If you're building a custom Javascript module, you could also set this from the server side controller - take a look at how the two components I mentioned above do that.

Other then that, you can simply use pure javascript. Ie. you can use

window.location.search>‍

. It will give you something like

"?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/d270106f-a784-4624-8b7d-8a3e0feecf22"‍

so you can parse the nodeRef from that in plain Javascript.
