ms_list_item: SharePoint list item

In Azure/Microsoft365R: Interface to the 'Microsoft 365' Suite of Cloud Services

SharePoint list item

Description

Class representing an item in a SharePoint list.

Format

An R6 object of class ms_list_item, inheriting from ms_object.

Fields

• token: The token used to authenticate with the Graph host.

• tenant: The Azure Active Directory tenant for the parent drive.

• type: always "drive item" for a drive item object.

• properties: The item properties (data and metadata). This is a list; the item data can be found in the fields component.

Methods

• new(...): Initialize a new object. Do not call this directly; see 'Initialization' below.

• delete(confirm=TRUE): Delete this item. By default, ask for confirmation first.

• update(...): Update the item's properties (metadata) in Microsoft Graph. To update the list data, update the fields property. See the examples below.

• do_operation(...): Carry out an arbitrary operation on the item.

• sync_fields(): Synchronise the R object with the item data and metadata in Microsoft Graph.

Initialization

Creating new objects of this class should be done via the get_item method of the ms_list class. Calling the new() method for this class only constructs the R object; it does not call the Microsoft Graph API to retrieve or create the actual item.
