OneNote.PageCollection class

Represents a collection of pages.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: OneNoteApi 1.1 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

count

Returns the number of pages in the collection.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

getByTitle(title)

Gets the collection of pages with the specified title.

getItem(index)

Gets a page by ID or by its index in the collection. Read-only.

getItemAt(index)

Gets a page on its position in the collection.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original OneNote.PageCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as OneNote.Interfaces.PageCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Examples

await OneNote.run(async (context) => {

    // Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
    await context.sync();

    // Get the sections with the specified name.
    const todoPages = allPages.getByTitle("Todo list");

    // Queue a command to load the section.
    // For best performance, request specific properties.
    todoPages.load("id,title"); 

    await context.sync()

    // Iterate through the collection or access items individually by index.
    if (todoPages.items.length > 0) {
        console.log("Page title: " + todoPages.items[0].title);
        console.log("Page ID: " + todoPages.items[0].id);
    }
});

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(options?: OneNote.Interfaces.PageCollectionLoadOptions & OneNote.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions): OneNote.PageCollection;

Parameters

options

OneNote.Interfaces.PageCollectionLoadOptions & OneNote.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns

load(propertyNames)

load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): OneNote.PageCollection;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.

Returns

Examples

await OneNote.run(async (context) => {
    
    // Get the pages in the current section.
    const pages = context.application.getActiveSection().pages;
    
    // Queue a command to load the id and title for each page.
    pages.load('id,title');
    
    // Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
    await context.sync();
            
    // Display the properties.
    $.each(pages.items, function(index, page) {
        console.log(page.title);
        console.log(page.id);
    });
});

Parameters

propertyNamesAndPaths
OfficeExtension.LoadOption

propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.

Returns
