fsUtility.cloneFileRecord(rec, [options])  Anywhere

This method cloneFileRecord is defined in FS.Utility

Arguments

  • rec {FS.File|FS.Collection filerecord}
  • options {Object} (Optional)

    • full {Boolean} (Optional, Default = false)

    Set true to prevent certain properties from being omitted from the clone.

Returns {Object} Cloned filerecord

Makes a shallow clone of rec, filtering out some properties that might be present if it's an FS.File instance, but which we never want to be part of the stored filerecord.

This is a blacklist clone rather than a whitelist because we want the user to be able to specify whatever additional properties they wish.

In general, we expect the following whitelist properties used by the internal and external APIs:

_id, name, size, type, chunkCount, chunkSize, chunkSum, copies, createdAt, updatedAt, uploadedAt

Those properties, and any additional properties added by the user, should be present in the returned object, which is suitable for inserting into the backing collection or extending an FS.File instance.

FS.Utility.cloneFileRecord = function(rec, options) { ... base-common.js:71

fsUtility.defaultCallback([err])  Anywhere

This method defaultCallback is defined in FS.Utility

Error or error message (string)
