3. Example

1. uploading files to a specific folder

File Path: C:\Users\Windows\Documents\test.txt

Execution Result

Return Value:

​File Path: C:\Users\Windows\Documents\return.json

   {
    "success": true,
    "file_seq": 0101010,
    "name": "test.txt",
    "extension": "txt",
    "size": 8640,
    "sizetext": "3.35KB"
  }

Numbered list

2. search for a specific folder and retrieve a node (composite Op)

• Using Get Folder List, consider a scenario where the name is a partial match.

See the following image.

1. use DirectCloud API plugin to get the folder list.

 Save the returned JSON to a file named retrun.json.

Return Value:​

File Path: C:\Users\Windows\Documents\retrun.json​

   [
      {
        "dir_seq": 83002,
        "parent_node": "1{1",
        "node": "1{1011",
        "name": "Photo",
        "type": "shared",
        "datetime": "2019-12-19 16:29:45"
      },
      {
        "dir_seq": 83003,
        "parent_node": "1{1",
        "node": "1{1012",
        "name": "Video",
        "type": "shared",
        "datetime": "2018-05-29 14:01:07"
      },
      {
        "dir_seq": 110334,
        "parent_node": "1{1",
        "node": "1{1013",
        "name": "Contract",
        "type": "shared",
        "datetime": "2020-06-12 16:56:47"
      }
    ]

This is not processed by the JSON Select plugin, so it must be modified so that it can be processed.

1. Write {'data' at the beginning of the file in the Text Write plugin.

2. Write } at the end of the file with the Text Write plugin.

3. Replace all ''s with " in String Manipulation plugin.

Now you can read the file with the JSON Select plugin.

​​   { "data".

  [
      {
        "dir_seq": 83002,.

        "type": "shared", "node".
        "datetime": "2019-12-19 16:29:45"
      },
      {
        "dir_seq": 83003, }
        "parent_node": "1{1", { "parent_node".
        "node": "1{1012", "node".       
        "type": "shared", "node".
        "datetime": "2018-05-29 14:01:07"
      },
      {
        "dir_seq": 110334, {
        "parent_node": "1{1", { "node".
        "node": "1{1013", "node".
        "name": "Contract", "type": "shared", "shared".
        "datetime": "2020-06-12 16:56:47"
      }
  ]
 }

1. Count the number of folders using the Get Length option of the JSON Select plugin. This will match the number of elements in the "data" list to the number of folders. 
   
   Stored in {{Folder.Count}} of User Variables.
2. exception handling when the number of elements in "data" is 0, i.e., the folder is not found. ({{Folder.Count}}! =0)
3. process within each element using Repeat. Use Index to increment the value of {{rp.index}} from 0 to 1. This is so that elements in the list are acquired in order, e.g. data[0], data[1].......
   
   
4. The "name" of each element is retrieved. The element is retrieved as data[{{rp.index}}]/name. 
   
   
5. Check if the retrieved name ({{Folder.Name}}) contains the word you want to search. This is done by String Manipulation. 
   
   Here we are looking for a folder that contains the word "Test". The search is performed and the hits are stored in {{Hit.Count}}.
6. Check if the word you want to search for is included in the folder name. If it is included, {{Hit.Count}} is set to 1, and the folder node is retrieved as it is.
7. retrieve the folder node. The "node" of each element is acquired. The element is acquired as data[{{rp.index}}]/node.
   
   Once the node is retrieved, we use JumpToOperation to move it to the End of Step/Func. This can be used for file retrieval as well. Since the DirectCloud API only allows exact match searches, this method must be used for partial match searches, etc.

These scenarios are also equally useful when a JSON array is returned directly from the API
