Unable to get custom objects using bullhornjs

[dilipid]

We are able to retrieve information of the regular entity objects with following codes, but unable to get the custom objects related to them, it may have to do with the way the parameters are passed or there may be different way of using the library to get the custom object attributes.

1. [‎4/‎7/‎2017 2:30 PM] Somasundaram, Suresh:
   var candidate = new CandidateSearch().fields('id','name','mobile','customDate1','customObject1s').query(candidateID);; candidate.get().then(function(response){ candidate.get(candidateID ).then( function(entity) { str = JSON.stringify(entity, undefined, 4); alert(str);
   console.log(str); }); });

2. var person= new Candidate().fields('id','name','lastName','customObject1s'); //works the same as above person.get(candidateID).then(function(response){ console.log('Job Title is ',response); });

Prompt response will be appreciated.

Thanks, Dilip Patel ACS Group 678-852-9895

Hi Dilip,

Your first issue is that you can't reuse the CandidateSearch object as a Candidate object:

var candidate = new CandidateSearch()
     .fields('id','name','mobile','customDate1','customObject1s')
     .query(candidateID);
             ^^^^^^^^ candidateID is not a valid query string 
candidate.get().then(function(response){
    candidate.get(candidateID ).then( function(entity) {
        ^^^^^^^ THIS IS DECLARED AS A SEARCH OBJECT
        str = JSON.stringify(entity, undefined, 4);
        alert(str);
        console.log(str);
    });
});

If you already have your candidateID as a number then you can use approach 2:

var person = new Candidate().fields('id','name','lastName','customObject1s');
person.get(candidateID).then(function(response){
        console.log('JSON RESPONSE', response);
        console.log('CustomObjectData', person.customObject1s);
});

Your data should look like this:

{
    "total": 100,
    "start": 0,
    "count": 20,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 87,
            "name": "John Randall",
            "customObject1s": {
                "total": 0,
                "data": []
            },
        }, ...

Notice that the customObject1s will have a data structure of total & data.

Also please verify you have customObject1s configured and enabled in the Corp or TestCorp you are using. If you don't it will not be exposed through the API.

If you are still having issues after this, Please provide network requests and console logs.

Hi Thanks for the response, we are getting this response and able to proceed, but we want to know is how to get all fields in custom page, for ex, we need to get the G2 details in candidate edit page, through from script how to access those details, can you please provide some details or some examples, it will be great helpful for us.

Thanks

[bvkimball]

Sorry I am not familiar with G2 details but yes you will be able to query any bullhorn object this way. You could also access input fields on the Edit Page with jQuery.

[ss513546039]

Thanks, but we tried many ways, its not giving all the field level details, could you please check with your team or any sample code will be help better for us.

I am sorry i still don't understand what field level details you are referring too. Are you talking about Field Metadata?

Have you looked at the REST Docs: http://bullhorn.github.io/rest-api-docs/#get-meta-entity

To do this with BullhornJS, the example is provided in the demo:

var meta = new CandidateMeta().fields('id','name','mobile','address');
meta.get().then(function(response){
    // You can access data from the http `response` or from `meta` directly
    console.log(response);
});

[ss513546039]

We are not asking about meta, how to access the data in below fields, these are G2 fields, we trying to access like customObject1s.customDate1 but not getting any data

Database Field Label object4.customDate1 Availability to Start object4.customDate2 Availability to Interview object4.customText1 Current Work Visa Status object4.customFloat1 Current Compensation object4.customFloat2 Minimum Acceptable Compensation object4.customText2 Credentials object4.customText3 Encoder experience 1 object4.customText4 Abstracting systems object4.customText5 Electronic Record Access object4.customText6 Computer Assisted Coding object4.customText7 Are you currently working onsite or remotely? object4.customText8 Are you interested in remote, onsite or travel? object4.customText9 If not now, have you worked remotely before?

Hi Suresh,

I still am not sure i am following which data you are specifically trying to get access too, but i am guessing you are saying that you want to get more fields data for the nested custom object.

This is because by default the TO_ONE or TO_MANY associations only return id or the default fields unless you specify otherwise. This is specified in the REST documentation, in the ENTITY FIELDS section: http://developer.bullhorn.com/sites/default/files/BullhornRESTAPI_0_2.pdf

To access this with BullhornJS, you can do either of the following:

var person = new Candidate().fields('id','customObject1s(*)');
// OR
var person = new Candidate().fields('id','customObject1s(id,date1,text1)');

Hope this is the answer you were looking for.

Good Morning, Thanks for the details, it helps, we are able to get the details what we need.
