How do I get the names of all libraries within a given site using jquery/javascript?
the only way i know of is using getByTitle('listtitle'), but I would like all names of libraries (hopefully there is a way to do libraries only and not just all lists) in a site?
Thanks as always!
I'm not sure if you can query for only libraries tbh, an option is too look at the SP.BaseType. Something like this:
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(Initialize, "sp.js");
function Initialize()
{
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = clientContext.get_web();
this.lists = web.get_lists();
clientContext.load(lists);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onListItemsLoadSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}
function onListItemsLoadSuccess(sender, args) {
var count = this.lists.get_count();
for (x = 0; x < count; x++)
{
if(this.lists.itemAt(x).get_baseType() === 1) {
var listTitle = this.lists.itemAt(x).get_title();
console.log(listTitle);
}
}
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
The SiteData web service will return all that data for you. The link is for SP 2007, but it still exists in 2010 and functions the same.
http://<Site>/_vti_bin/SiteData.asmx
I'm not entirely sure where that would fit in within the client object model, but it would be easily accessed with a more familiar tool to me, SPServices.
