How to all names of properties of thing template?

[nbhagtani]

How i can get list of all properties defined in thing template?

GetNamedProperties -> service takes json but i don't have any parameter just need all properties list.

Dear Nisha,

You could author it like this:

Attached code here:

var params = {
 category: undefined /* STRING */,
 type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,
 dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
};
// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: "PropertyDefinition"
var propertys = me.GetPropertyDefinitions(params);
var propertyList = new Array();
var tableLength = propertys.rows.length;
for (var x = 0; x < tableLength; x++) {
 var row = propertys.rows;
 //Your code here
    logger.error(row.name);
    propertyList.push(row.name);
}

Br,

Anna

Hi Anna,

I need output of this service. What base type to give to "propertyList"? If base type is infotable then i need to create data shape as well

[ppradhan-2]

Yes Nisha if you want multiple records you should have infotable and to see that on mashup you will need datashape

[nbhagtani]

I don't want to use it on mashup. My other service just needs properties list of template.

so is it possible to have infotable only having properties list?

[ppradhan-2]

I have a solution that might not look good but i think will do the work. just get result as a string with appended property list  separated with comma and in next service take it as a input parameter and using function get the separate property string using comma as string separator.

Hi Nisha,

If you want to return an InfoTable, a more straightforward way would be like this:

Attached the code here:

var params = {
 category: undefined /* STRING */,
 type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,
 dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
};
// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: "PropertyDefinition"
var properties = me.GetPropertyDefinitions(params);
var result = properties;

The PropertyDefinition is a build-in DataShape, so you do not need create again.

Thanks,

Br,

Hi,

var params = {

  category: undefined /* STRING */,

  type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,

  dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */

};

// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: PropertyDefinition

var info1 = Things["YOURTHING"].GetPropertyDefinitions(params);

var params = {

infoTableName: undefined /* STRING */

};

// result: INFOTABLE

var infotable = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTable(params);

//Add a new field to the InfoTable:

infotable.AddField({name: "PropertyName", baseType: "STRING"});

infotable.AddField({name: "BaseType", baseType: "STRING"});

var newEntry = new Object();

    for (var  i =0; i<info1.getRowCount(); i++)

    {

  newEntry.PropertyName = info1.rows.name;

  newEntry.BaseType = info1.rows.baseType;

  infotable.AddRow(newEntry);      

    }

var result = infotable

Hope this will work.

Create Thing for your ThingTemplate and Replace "YOURTHING" with ThingName

Set your service output as infotable.
