Creating Records with Remote Objects
Create a record by calling create() on a Remote
Objects model instance.
create() accepts two
arguments, both optional.
RemoteObjectModel.create({field_values}, callback_function)The field_values block
enables you to define and create a record in one statement. Set field
values as you do when you create a model, using a JSON string. For
example, the following two calls to create() are equivalent.
var ctDetails = { FirstName: 'Marc', LastName: 'Benioff' };
// Call create() on an existing Contact model, with no arguments
var ct = new RemoteObjectModel.Contact(ctDetails);
ct.create();
// Call create() on an empty Contact model, passing in field values
var ct = new RemoteObjectModel.Contact();
ct.create(ctDetails);
create() doesn’t
return a result directly. The callback function enables you to handle
the server response asynchronously.
Your callback function
can accept up to three arguments.
function callback(Error error, Array results, Object event) { // ... }The Id field is set on
the Remote Object as part of a successful create() call. You can access this
field in your callback function.
var ctDetails = { FirstName: 'Marc', LastName: 'Benioff' };
var ct = new RemoteObjectModel.Contact();
ct.create(ctDetails, function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
alert(err.message);
}
else {
// this is the contact
console.log(ct.log()); // Dump contact to log
console.log(ct.get('Id')); // Id is set when create completes
}
});
