\nlet token = await shell.getTokenDeferred();\n \nawait fetch(`\/_api\/contacts(53bf9109-9c00-46b9-b99c-0eb5f986c97a)`, {\nmethod: 'PATCH',\nheaders: {\nAccept: 'application\/json',\n'Content-Type': 'application\/json',\n__RequestVerificationToken: token,\n},\nbody: JSON.stringify({\naddress1_telephone1: '555-555'\n})\n});\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThe code above is an example of updating data on a specific record in the Contact table. In the first line, we call the getTokenDeferred method, which will return a unique token for us to authenticate to the system. On the next line, we invoke the Web API, using the schema: \/_api\/tablename(record guid), using the PATCH method. The additional header __RequestVerificationToken stores the token retrieved earlier. In the body, we enter our object in schema: fieldname: ‘value’ and then change it to a string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assigning a reference to a record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The example of adding a file shows how you can create a link to an already created record in the Contact table. First, we need to create the rights for the Annotation (Note) table in Entity Permissions (select Create, Append To) and the entries in Site Settings as for Contact, adding the filename, mimetype, documentbody, and objectid_contact fields. For the Contact table permissions, we must additionally check Append.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nlet token = await shell.getTokenDeferred();\n \nawait fetch(`\/_api\/annotations`, {\nmethod: 'POST',\nheaders: {\nAccept: 'application\/json',\n'Content-Type': 'application\/json',\n__RequestVerificationToken: token,\n},\nbody: JSON.stringify({\nfilename: fileName,\nmimetype: mimetype,\ndocumentbody: base64Content,\n'objectid_contact@odata.bind': `\/contacts(53bf9109-9c00-46b9-b99c-0eb5f986c97a)`,\n})\n});\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nIn the example above, in line #14, a bind to the Contact table is created on the objectid field. Adding @odata.bind to the field name lets us know that it is a reference to another record. You can add and remove relationships to other records in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Using the Web API in Power Portal can replace the creation of an Entity Form. This can help you build a more enhanced form and complex business logic. It is possible to build a form view entirely from scratch if this is required by our design approach and requirements from a client, who wants to create a very unusual form. Currently, some of the Plugin’s actions cannot be used, e.g. PreValidation and PreOperation actions are not supported, what is the disadvantage of using this solution.<\/p>\n\n\n
