(JavaScript) SharePoint -- Update the Contents of a File (PUT)

Demonstrates how to update the contents of a SharePoint file.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();

// If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
// Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME";
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD";
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN";
http.NtlmAuth = true;

// The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
// If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
// establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

// Indicate that we want a JSON reply
http.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";

// Update /Documents/ChilkatTest/sample.docx with new content...
var req = new CkHttpRequest();
req.HttpVerb = "POST";
req.Path = "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest/sample.docx')/$value";
// Give the location of the file to be uploaded.  
// Note: The file is not loaded into memory at this point.  It is never fully loaded
// into memory.  Instead, the file data is streamed directly from the file when
// when the upload occurs.
req.StreamBodyFromFile("qa_data/msword/sample.docx");

// We need to add a form digest value in the X-RequestDigest header field.
// See this example for details on
// how to get (and cache) a form digest value
req.AddHeader("X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST");

// Also need to add this header..
req.AddHeader("X-HTTP-Method","PUT");

// Upload..
var bUseTls = true;
var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpSReq("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,bUseTls,req,resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A successful update will return a 204 status code with an empty body.
// A non-successful update will return a JSON response body..
if (resp.StatusCode !== 204) {
    console.log("Response status code = " + resp.StatusCode);
    var json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.Load(resp.BodyStr);
    json.EmitCompact = false;
    console.log(json.Emit());
    console.log("Failed");
    return;
}

console.log("Success.");
