List all fields

[Leonid]

Im missing something. I need to get an array of all form fields (internal names) based on the name criteria. E.g. all fields with internal name containing “_Score”. Treid to use

spjs.dffs.fields

and it didnt work.
Any suggestions?

You find a list of all fields (and you can download it as a .csv file) from the Fields tab in the configuration of a DFFS form.

Any external plugin to extend its functionality?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for – is it a method of listing all fields for use in Custom JS in a DFFS form, or in a standalone solution?

Yes, I need a method/property to use in Custom JS javascript. Preferably it will be array, list or collection of fileds that I can filter by InternalName

You can use something like this:

function getListFields(baseUrl, listUrlName) {
    var endpoint = baseUrl + "/_api/Web/Lists?$filter=RootFolder/Name eq '" + listUrlName + "'&$expand=Fields", d = jQuery.Deferred();
    jQspjs.ajax({
        "url": endpoint,
        "method": "GET",
        "headers": {
            "accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
            "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "X-RequestDigest": document.getElementById("__REQUESTDIGEST").value
        },
        "success": function (b) {
            if (b.d.results.length > 0) {
                var c = b.d.results[0], url, fields = {};
                jQspjs.each(c.Fields.results, function (i, a) {
                    fields[a.InternalName] = {
                        "fin": a.InternalName,
                        "disp": a.Title,
                        "type": a.TypeAsString
                    };
                    if (a.TypeAsString === "Choice" || a.TypeAsString === "MultiChoice") {
                        fields[a.InternalName].choices = a.Choices.results;
                    }
                });
                d.resolve({
                    "success": true,
                    "fields": fields
                });
            } else {
                d.resolve({
                    "success": false,
                    "message": "No list with the URL name '" + listUrlName + "' was found on '" + baseUrl + "'"
                });
            }
        },
        "error": function (a) {
            d.resolve({
                "success": false,
                "message": "No list with the URL name '" + listUrlName + "' was found on '" + baseUrl + "'"
            });
        }
    });
    return d.promise();
}

Call it like this:

getListFields("/Sites/YourSite", "Your_list_URL_name").done(function (o) {
    if (o.success) {
        console.log(o.fields);
    } else {
        console.log(o.message);
    }
});

This returns the list of fields as an object you can access like this:

o.fields.YourFieldInternalName

If you prefer an array you can change the code to push it into an array instead of construction the object.
