Sharepoint - How to get all items in a view using REST API
The following example demonstrates how to retrieve list items for a View using SharePoint REST:
function getListItems(webUrl,listTitle, queryText)
{
var viewXml = '<View><Query>' + queryText + '</Query></View>';
var url = webUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listTitle + "')/getitems";
var queryPayload = {
'query' : {
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.CamlQuery' },
'ViewXml' : viewXml
}
};
return executeJson(url,"POST",null,queryPayload);
}
function getListViewItems(webUrl,listTitle,viewTitle)
{
var url = webUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('" + listTitle + "')/Views/getbytitle('" + viewTitle + "')/ViewQuery";
return executeJson(url).then(
function(data){
var viewQuery = data.d.ViewQuery;
return getListItems(webUrl,listTitle,viewQuery);
});
}
where
function executeJson(url,method,headers,payload)
{
method = method || 'GET';
headers = headers || {};
headers["Accept"] = "application/json;odata=verbose";
if(method == "POST") {
headers["X-RequestDigest"] = $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val();
}
var ajaxOptions =
{
url: url,
type: method,
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: headers
};
if (typeof payload != 'undefined') {
ajaxOptions.data = JSON.stringify(payload);
}
return $.ajax(ajaxOptions);
}
Usage
getListViewItems(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl,'Tasks','All Tasks')
.done(function(data)
{
var items = data.d.results;
for(var i = 0; i < items.length;i++) {
console.log(items[i].Title);
}
})
.fail(
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
Using REST you can't get items from a view. For that you have two options
- Get the view fields and form a query
- Create a CAML query and use it to get the items.
