Getting a list of workflows relating to a user by JavaScript

[egor]

Hi, please help.

I searched information in the Internet but no success. I have the following challenge.

How I can get a list of workflows relating to a user by simple JavaScript script  (which we plan to use as rule in future). If possible please provide a full source code.

I know how to get a list of workflows by RESTful: 

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances 

 but I do not know how we can call it from simple JavaScript ?!

I tried to use "remote" object in JavaScript Console (by Florian Maul) but system reported the "remote is not defined":

var url = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances";
var json = remote.call(url);

I also know how to get a workflow relating to some file(s) but that's not what I'm looking for:

var docNodeRef = "workspace://SpacesStore/c86cbdb5-6bbc-4a30-8c8d-be610bee4a63";
var theDocument = search.findNode(docNodeRef);

for each(wf in theDocument.activeWorkflows)
{
logger.log(wf.);
}

So I need to get a list of all workflows relating to a some user by simple JavaScript script from user session. We plan to place this script file in "Repository -> Data Dictionary -> Scripts" and use it in Alfresco' Rule.

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Egor

I don't know this is exactly which you are looking. but I have worked on workflow in javascript. So putting some snippet. 

You can try few. 

var wf = workflow.getAssignedTasks();
for (var w = 0; w < wf.length; w++) {
a = "activiti$" + wf[w].properties["bpm:taskId"];
if (a == activitiId) {
var workflowUsers = wf[w].properties["xxx:relatedUsers"].split(',');
if (workflowUsers.indexOf(user.properties.userName) > -1)
{
activiti = true;
}
}
}

others:
var task = workflow.getTask(activitiId);

Hi Ratik!

Yes this seems what I'm looking for. Let me ask two questions:

1. Where I can find a descriptions of a workflow object which used in your example ?

2. Where I can find a description of all wf[w].properties["?"] ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi Egor,

You can find few APIs here and also get some idea by using core APIs.

You can check context object here.

few example:

workflowUsers.indexOf(users.properties.userName),
model.users.push(users.properties.userName),

wf[w].properties["bpm:description"];

workflow.parameters.workflowName = "";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "";
workflow.parameters["abc:workflowRelatedUsers"] = "";
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = "";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = "";;

Dear Ratik, 

You provide an information about how to get a list of tasks assigned on me (getAssignedTasks():smileywink: but could you provide also an example about - how we can get a list of tasks which a user assign to others ?

Many thanks!

Best regards,

Egor

var members = people.getMembers(people.getGroup("GROUP_Workers"));
var assignedTasks = workflow.getAssignedTasks();

var name = members.properties["cm:userName"];
