static osapi.jive.corev3.attachments

Static class for getting Attachments. Attachments cannot be created directly. They are created as part of creating a Document, Blog Post, or Message (reply to a discussion).

Example:
Create a document with an attachment

To create a Document with an attachment, create a document and include the "attachments" field. See the method documents.create. Attachments are created by providing the URL of a publicly available file (e.g. a file on a server you manage or publicly available on the internet). Any file type is supported. The file will be automatically uploaded to your Jive instance.

 //Create a document with an attachment
 var documentJSON = {
     "content":
     {
         "type": "text/html",
         "text": "Some interesting text"
     },
     "subject": "A document with an attachment",
     "attachments": [
         {
             "doUpload": true,
             "url": "http://www.mysite.com/files/presentation_9-29-2012.ppt"
         }
      ]
 };

 var request = osapi.jive.corev3.documents.create(documentJSON);

 request.execute(function(data) {
     console.log("Created a new document with this attachment:", data.attachments[0]);
 });
