osapi.jive.corev3.communications.Share

A Share is a way to share content or places with other users. If a content object is shared, both content and place fields will be present, describing the content object that is shared and the place that contains it. If a place is shared, only place will be present. An example JSON representation looks like this:

Examples:

The minimum JSON required to create a Share:

 {
     "content" : {
         "type" : "text/html",
         "text" : "Hey, you should join in on this discussion!"
     },
     "participants" : [
         "http://jive.somecompany.com/api/core/v3/people/2345"
     ],
     "shared" : "http://jive.somecompany.com/api/core/v3/contents/12345"
 }
Create a Share

The simplest example of creating a Share.

 //Create a simple share
 var user = ... ; //existing user object
 var doc = ...; //existing document object

 var share = {
     "content" : {
         "type" : "text/html",
         "text" : "Here's a share created with the v3 Javascript API!"
     },
     "participants" : [user.toURI()],
     "shared" : doc.toURI()
 };

 var request = osapi.jive.corev3.shares.create(share);

 request.execute(function(data) {
      console.log("Share created!", data);
 });
