CreateEntry Method

Creates a new entry within the specified OData service resource.

Syntax

odata.createEntry([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

The component will use the items contained within EntryProperties to create a new entry within the feed service resource by ServiceRootURI and ResourcePath (ServiceRootURI/ResourcePath).

Upon a successful creation, all previous entries contained by the component, prior to the CreateEntry call, will be cleared and replaced with the response entry data. EntryIndex will then be set to 0 (the first entry within the response), populating the EntryAuthor, EntryETag, EntryTitle, EntrySummary, EntryUpdated, EntryLinks, and EntryProperties properties. OtherHeaders will also be cleared and thus will need to be reset accordingly with each call made.
