deleteChanges

deleteChanges: (changesToDelete: BimChange[]) => Promise<TypedResponse<number>[]>

Type declaration

    • Deletes changes. Check if it is possible to delete changes using canDelete before. Passing changes where canDelete is ``false`` will generate exceptions.

      Parameters

      Returns Promise<TypedResponse<number>[]>

      A response with TypedResponse.status `` === 200`` and the number of changes that was deleted. In case of error appropriates TypedResponse.status code’s are returned.

getContainerInfo

getContainerInfo: (container?: URL | BimContainer) => Promise<TypedResponse<BimContainerInfo>>

Type declaration

    • Gets info of container and current user. Can also be used to check if a container exists (returns undefined)

      Parameters

      • optionalcontainer: URL | BimContainer

        If given returns info specified container. If not given, the root container is returned.

      Returns Promise<TypedResponse<BimContainerInfo>>

      TypedResponse with container information. If container is undefined, a root container is returned. If there are multiple root containers, only one can be returned using the following priority order: First ProjectNetwork and then Archive. Response will be 404 if no root container does exist. Resonse will be 401 response if user is not logged in.

getInfo

getInfo: () => Promise<TwinfinityInfo>

Type declaration

readonlyid

id: string

Uniquely identifies the backend the client connects to. If the client connects to a REST API its probably the host name of the API.

readonlylayers

layers: LayerApiClient

API to handle layer functionality. A Layer is a way to enrich an existing change in the database with extra data. This data will be versioned separately from the change the layer is attached to.

readonlymapBox

mapBox: MapBoxApiClient

API to access MapBox functionality.

readonlymessages

messages: MessageApiClient

Access to message operations

readonlysettings

settings: SettingsApiClient

Access to settings operations.

readonlyupload

upload: UploadApiClient

Access to upload operations.

Methods

canDelete

  • Determines whether a change can be deleted by calling deleteChanges.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    ``true`` if it is possible to delete the change. Otherwise ``false``.

get

  • get<T>(absoluteOrRelativeUrl: string | URL, converter: (r: Response) => TypedResponse<T>, init?: RequestInit): Promise<TypedResponse<T>>

  • Issues an HTTP GET specified url.

    @example
    // Gets a JSON object and convert it to the MyObj interface.
    const myObjResponse = this.get<MyObj>("http://foo.com/jsonendpoint", HttpResponseType.json)
    const myObj = myObjResponse.status === 200 ? (await myObjResponse.value) : undefined;
    // Gets a binary ArrayBuffer.
    const myArrayBufferResponse = this.get("http://foo.com/jsonendpoint", HttpResponseType.arrayBuffer)
    const myArrayBuffer = myArrayBufferResponse.status === 200 ? (await myArrayBufferResponse.value) : undefined;

    Type parameters

    • T

      The type of data the specified converter will convert the HTTP response body to.

    Parameters

    • absoluteOrRelativeUrl: string | URL

      Url to issue HTTP GET to.

    • converter: (r: Response) => TypedResponse<T>

      Converter for response. See HttpResponseType for predefined converters.

    • optionalinit: RequestInit

      Optional settings for to HTTP GET (fetch).

    Returns Promise<TypedResponse<T>>

    a TypedResponse containing the status code and the response value that resulted from using the specified converter.

getChanges

  • Retrieves all changes in and below a specified parent change and that matches a specific query. Use typescript type inference cast directly to a specific BimChange type if you know exactly which types the query will return

    @example

    type inference by specifying return type.

    const dwgChanges: BimChangeDwg[] = api.getChanges(container, {query: "dwg.status=Processed"});
    @example

    Predefined queries. Type is included in query so no need to specify on return value.

    const ifcFailures = api.getChanges(container, PredefinedBimChangeMetadataQuery.ifc(BimChangeStatus.Failed));
    @remarks

    It is expensive to get all changes in a container. Use a query to filter out only the changes you are interested in. Getting everything is discouraged as there can be 100k+ changes in a container. Be specific. As it is expensive DO NOT use this method to get the changes for many/all containers in the system. There can be many containers and many changes (like 100k+) in each container.

    Type parameters

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<TypedResponse<T[]>>

    Changes in container that matched the filterQuery.

getContainers

  • Gets all containers or just a specific one.

    Parameters

    • optionalid: string

      If given, only container with specific id is returned. Otherwise all containers are returned.

    Returns Promise<BimContainer[]>

    List of containers. May be empty if no containers were found or matched the specified id.

getIfcChanges

  • Retrieves all (successfully processed) IFC changes located in and below a specified parent.

    @remarks

    As it is expensive DO NOT use this method to get the IFC changes for many/all containers in the system. It is however reasonable to use this method to get the changes for a few specific containers.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<BimChangeIfc[]>

    All successfully processed IFC changes in the specified container.
