Creatable, Criteriable, Sitable, Updatable
Defined in:
lib/jamf/api/classic/base_classes/advanced_search.rb

Overview

A Parent class for Advanced Computer, MobileDevice, and User searchs

Subclasses must define:

  • the constant RESULT_CLASS which is the JSS Module class of the item returned by the search, e.g. Jamf::Computer

  • the constant RESULT_ID_FIELDS, which is an Array of Symbols that come from the API in the search_results along with the symbolized display fields. E.g. for AdvancedComputerSearches, :id, :name, and :udid are present along with whatever display fields have been defined.

Instance Attribute Details

#criteria ⇒ Jamf::Criteriable::Criteria Originally defined in module Criteriable

Returns the criteria for the instance into which we’re mixed.

Returns:

#display_fields ⇒ Array<String>

The API delivers these as an array of Hashes, where each hash has only one key, :name => the name of the fields/ExtAttrib to display. It should probably not have the underlying Hashes, and just be an array of names. This class converts it to just an Array of field names (Strings) for internal use.

These fields are returned in the @search_results data along with :id, :name, and other unique identifiers for each found item. In that data, their names have colons removed, abd spaces and dashes converted to underscores, and they are symbolized. See attribute result_display_keys

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    the fields to be returned with the search results

def display_fields
  @display_fields
end

#need_to_update ⇒ Boolean (readonly) Originally defined in module Updatable

Returns do we have unsaved changes?.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    do we have unsaved changes?

#result_display_keys ⇒ Array<Symbol> (readonly)

The search result Hash keys for the #display_fields of the search

The field names in #display_fields are strings matching how the field is labeled in the web UI (including the names of Extension Attributes). They have to be that way when submitting them to the API, and thats mostly what #display_fields and related methods are for.

However, when those names come back as the Hash Keys of the #search_results they (inconsistently) have spaces and/or dashes converted to underscores, and colons are removed. The JSON module then converts the keys to Symbols, so they don’t match the #display_fields.

For example, the display field “Last Check-in” might come back as any of these Symbols:

  • :“Last Check-in”

  • :Last_Check_in

  • :“Last_Check-in”

Also, the data returned in the #search_results contains more keys than just the #display_fields - namely it comes with some standard identifiers for each found item. such as JSS id number and name.

#result_display_keys will hold just the Hash keys corresponding to the #display_fields by taking the keys from the first result Hash, and removing the identifier keys as listed in each subclass’s RESULT_ID_FIELDS constant.

end

#search_results ⇒ Array<Hash> (readonly)

Each Hash is one object that matches the criteria. Within each hash there are variable keys, but always at least the keys defined in each subclasses RESULT_ID_FIELDS

The other keys correspond to the #display_fields defined for this Advanced Search.

Returns:

  • (Array<Hash>) —

    the results of the search

  • output_file (String, Pathname) —

    The file in which to store the exported results

#name=(newname) ⇒ void Originally defined in module Updatable

This method returns an undefined value.

Change the name of this item Remember to #update to push changes to the server.

Parameters:

  • newname (String) —

    the new name

Raises:

#parse_criteria ⇒ void Originally defined in module Criteriable

This method returns an undefined value.

During initialization, convert the @init_data Hash into a Jamf::Criteriable::Criteria instance stored in @criteria

Classes mixing in this module must call this in #initialize

This can be very slow, so temporarily reset the API timeout to 30 minutes

This method returns an undefined value.

Allow our Criteria to tell us when there’s been a change that needs to be updated.

#site=(new_site) ⇒ void Originally defined in module Sitable

    The name of the site for this object.

#site_object ⇒ Jamf::Site Originally defined in module Sitable

The Jamf::Site instance for this object’s site

    The Jamf::Site instance for this object’s site

#unset_site ⇒ void Originally defined in module Sitable

This method returns an undefined value.

Set the site to nothing

#update(get_results = false) ⇒ Integer

Save any changes

If get_results is true, they’ll be available in #search_results. This might be slow.

Parameters:

  • get_results (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    should the results of the search be queried immediately?

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    the id of the updated search
