Taxonomy
Log in to add to favouritesDeprecation warning
Taxonomy in entries is deprecated and may be removed from future releases of Contensis. We strongly recommend using content types and entries to categorise content.
Taxonomy nodes can be retrieved using the following methods, either by key or by path. The localization can be included as a parameter to determine the language the nodes should be returned as. The order by default is set to 'alphabetical', but an order of 'defined' (which is the order set in the UI) can also be used.
The childDepth parameter is used to reduce the number of service calls if child and descendant nodes are being iterated, which will potentially increase performance.
getNodeByKey
A function that uses a taxonomy node key to retrieve taxonomy nodes. It returns a Promise that will resolve with a TaxonomyNode instance.
Syntax
Parameters
key
Type: string
The key for the taxonomy, which is a forward-slash delimited set of integer values, e.g. 0/2/734
or
key
Type: TaxonomyGetNodeByKeyOptions
An object that supports multiple configuration options
Example
ContensisClient.taxonomy.getNodeByKey('0/1').then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy getNodeByKey:");
console.log(node);
});
ContensisClient.taxonomy.getNodeByKey({
key: '0/1',
order: 'defined',
childDepth: 10,
language: 'fr-FR'
}).then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy getNodeByKey with options:");
console.log(node);
});getNodeByPath
A function that uses a taxonomy node path to retrieve taxonomy nodes. It returns a Promise that will resolve with a TaxonomyNode instance.
Syntax
Parameters
path
Type: string
The path for the taxonomy, which is a forward-slash delimited set of string values, e.g. "Root/Movies/Genres/Comedy"
or
path
Type: TaxonomyGetNodeByPathOptions
An object that supports multiple configuration options
Example
ContensisClient.taxonomy.getNodeByPath('Root/StructuredContent').then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy getNodeByPath:");
console.log(node);
});
ContensisClient.taxonomy.getNodeByPath({
path: 'Root/StructuredContent',
order: 'defined',
childDepth: 10,
language: 'fr-FR'
}).then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy getNodeByPath with options:");
console.log(node);
});resolveChildren
A function that uses a taxonomy node key or a taxonomy node instance to resolve taxonomy nodes. It returns a Promise that will resolve with a TaxonomyNode instance.
Syntax
Parameters
node
Type: string
The key for the taxonomy, which is a forward-slash delimited set of integer values, e.g. 0/2/734
or
node
Type: TaxonomyNode
A taxonomy node object
or
node
Type: TaxonomyResolveChildrenOptions
An object that supports multiple configuration options
Example
ContensisClient.taxonomy.resolveChildren('0/1').then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy resolveChildren with taxonomy node key:");
console.log(node);
});
ContensisClient.taxonomy.resolveChildren({ key: '0/1', name: '', path: '', hasChildren: true }).then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy resolveChildren with taxonomy node:");
console.log(node);
});
ContensisClient.taxonomy.resolveChildren({ key: '0/1', order: 'defined', childDepth: 10, language: 'fr-FR' }).then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy resolveChildren with options and taxonomy node key:");
console.log(node);
});
ContensisClient.taxonomy.resolveChildren({ node: { key: '0/1', name: '', path: '', hasChildren: true }, order: 'defined', childDepth: 99, language: 'fr-FR' }).then(node => {
console.log("Taxonomy resolveChildren with options and taxonomy node:");
console.log(node);
});
