SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 introduces three new client APIs for interacting with SharePoint sites: from a .NET managed application (not earlier than Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5), from a Microsoft Silverlight application (not earlier than Silverlight 2.0), or from ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) that executes in the browser. These new APIs provide access to a subset of the types and members that are contained in the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace of the server-side object model. Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 introduces three new client APIs for interacting with SharePoint sites: from a .NET managed application (not earlier than Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5), from a Microsoft Silverlight application (not earlier than Silverlight 2.0), or from ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) that executes in the browser. These new APIs provide access to a subset of the types and members that are contained in the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace of the serverside object model. The new client object models provide an object-oriented system for interoperating with SharePoint data from a remote computer, and they are in many respects easier to use than the already existing SharePoint Foundation Web services. You start by retrieving a client context object that represents the current request context, and through this context, you can obtain access to client objects at site-collection level or lower in the SharePoint Foundation hierarchy. Client objects inherit from the ClientObject class (ECMAScript: ClientObject), and you can use them to retrieve properties for a specific SharePoint object, to retrieve child objects and their properties, or to retrieve child items from a collection.

Client Object Model for JavaScript (ECMAScript) At first use Visual Studio 2010 to create a SharePoint web part project. As a result, VS2010 will open a ascx control for you on the designer.
1. Add reference to js file:

To use Client OM, add an entry like below in your web part ascx control. For your information, theres an debug version of the sp.js called sp.debug.js which you can use for debugging but should not be used in production.
<SharePoint:ScriptLink Name="SP.js" runat="server" OnDemand="true" Localizable="false" />

Here, OnDemand means whether the sp.js file need to be loaded on demand (not in page load) or not.
2. Add FormDigest tag:

If your code modifies SharePoint content add a FormDigest control inside your page. The FormDigest add a security token inside your page based on user, site and time. Once the page is posted back the security token is validated. Once the security token is generated its valid for a configurable amount of time. Add the FormDigest inside <form></form> tag, as shown below:
<SharePoint:FormDigest runat="server" />
3. Use Client OM to retrieve data:

26

SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

Now you can use SharePoint ECMAScript library. Lets dissect the code snippet below. The first thing in using this library is that you need to get the ClientContext (just like SPContext). Then the context.get_web returns the current web (just like SPContext.Current.Web). Then client contexts load method is invoked passing the web object. Then the executequery method is invoked asynchronously passing two functions: onSuccess and OnFailed which will be called on success and fail correspondingly.
<script type="text/Javascript"> function getWebProperties() { var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); this.web = ctx.get_web(); ctx.load(this.web); ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFail)); } function onSuccess(sender, args) { alert('web title:' + this.web.get_title() + '\n ID:' + this.web.get_id() + '\n Created Date:' + this.web.get_created()); } function onFail(sender, args) { alert('failed to get list. Error:'+args.get_message()); } </script>

By calling getWebProperties method from any web part, you can get the current webs title, id and creation date.
4. Load minimal data you need: In the above code snippet, the Ctx.load method is invoked with only one parameter (web). The load method will load all properties of the web object. But we are only using Id, Title and Created Date properties. If you know which properties you are interested in, you can pass the properties names in the load method and only those properties will be loaded. For example the following load method will return only ID, Title and Created Date. Collapse | Copy Code

ctx.load(this.web,'Title','Id','Created');

Remember, here the properties names are properties of SPWeb. You need to pass Title instead of title. The properties name uses CAML casing. You can get the full lists of ECMAScript namespaces, object , properties following the link on MSDN. The document is not final yet and

27

SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

may be changed. You can also look into the sp.debug.js file in the folder Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS, to get an idea of objects, properties and methods of ECMAScript Client OM.
5. Execute your Javascript function after sp.js is loaded:

Sometimes you may need to execute your Javascript (that uses ECMAScript Client OM) on page load in the browser. But since your Javascript is using sp.js file and if the sp.js file is not loaded yet (since to lazy loading nature of sp.js), when your custom Javascript will be executing, youll get your Javascript function not executed. In this case you need to make sure your Javascript code runs after sp.js finishes loading. You can do so by putting your Javascript method call inside a js function as shown below:
Collapse | Copy Code

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(myjsfucntion, "sp.js");

Putting your Javascript function (i.e., myjsfunction) inside the ExecuteOrDelyUntilScriptLoaded method delays your method call until the sp.js file is loaded.
6. Update with ECMAScript Library:

You can use the Client OM to update SharePoint contents. The following code snippet shows how to update web title.
<script

type="text/ Javascript "> function updateTitle() { var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); this.web = ctx.get_web(); web.set_title('UpdatedTitle'); this.web.update(); ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onUpdate), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFail)); } function onUpdate(sender, args) { alert('title updated'); } function onFail(sender, args) { alert('failed to update title. Error:'+args.get_message()); } </script>

28

SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

By calling the updateTitle method from any web part or SharePoint application pages, you can change the title of current web site (where the web part or application page is deployed). For your information, in ECMAScript Client OM, to get an property use get_propertyName and to set a property use set_propertyName. To update list with ECMAScript library you need to add FormDigest tag.

Use JQuery with ECMAScript

You can use JQuery with ECMAScript without any conflict. As usual, you need to add jquery.js file reference to your page/web part or in master page. Then you can use JQuery as like normal asp.net applications. But make sure that if you need to execute any Javascript function on page load event, you put this inside ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded function.

Deployment Consideration
SharePoint provides two sets of Javascript file: minified and unminified/debug version. For example sp.js file is minified and sp.debug is minified and debug version. The default master page in SharePoint has a scriptmanager in the page and whose ScriptMode is set to auto, as a result the minified version of js file loaded. If you want to use debug version you can add the <deployment retail="false" /> in the <system.web> section of the web.config. In the production you need to remove this entry to make sure minified version is used. The ECMAScript supported in the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or greater. Firefox 3.5 or greater Safari 4.0 or greater
