Arguments

entity.retrieve

Retrieves the data stored against an entity. The argument of this method should be the key that was used when the same data was stored.

zohobugtracker.entity.retrieve("6573492").then(function(response)
/*Output
{
  "properties": [
    {
      "key": "6573492",
      "value": "[{\"id\":\"1-QabBt69U8myXYRDVU-1YiCo2k-JWRfu\",\"name\":\"update.png\"}]",
      "id": 1587134426,
      "count: 1
    }
  ]
}
*/
);

entity.update

Updates the data that's stored against an entity. The argument of this method is a JSON object with the following four predefined keys:

var valueObj = [
{"id" : "1-QabBt69U8myXYRDVU-1YiCo2k-JWRfu","name" : "Sample_New.png"}
];
zohoprojects.entity.update({id:"1587134426",key:"6573492",value:valueObj,count:2}).then(function(response)
/*Output
{
  "properties": [
    {
      "key": "6573492",
      "value": "[{\"id\":\"1-QabBt69U8myXYRDVU-1YiCo2k-JWRfu\",\"name\":\"Sample_New.png\"}]",
      "id": 1587134426,
      "count" : 2
    }
  ]
}
*/
);

entity.remove

Deletes the data that's stored against a specific entity. The argument of this method is the ID that was generated as the output when the same data was stored using the 'entity.store()' method.

zohobugtracker.entity.remove(1587134426).then(function(response)
/* Output
{
  "status": "success"
}
*/
);

Limitations of entity properties

• The value stored against a key should not exceed 50KB at once.
• This method cannot be invoked for the 'app_settings' and 'top_band' locations.
• The value stored in an entity property should be in a valid JSON format.
• Concurrent edits on an entity property don't ensure consistency. i.e, when two different users make changes to the same entity property at the same time, only the latest change will be saved and the former will be lost/overridden.

Extension property

What is an extension property?

It is a key-value pair that's stored against the extension itself. However, the data stored against an extension will be lost if the extension is uninstalled from the product. Whereas, the data stored against an entity will be retained even if the extension is uninstalled because only the extension-specific information gets deleted and the entity-specific data will still be available for the other extensions to access.

app.store

Stores data against an extension.

var value = [
{"id" : "1-QabBt69U8myXYRDVU-1YiCo2k-JWRfu","name" : "Sample.png"}
];
zohobugtracker.app.store("6573492", value).then(function(response)
/* Output
{
  "properties": [
    {
      "key": "6573492",
      "value": "[{\"id\":\"1-QabBt69U8myXYRDVU-1YiCo2k-JWRfu\",\"name\":\"sample.png\"}]",
      "id": 1587134426
    }
  ]
}
