Javascript 7.11 getting a bean

Question

I am facing issue to instantiate a bean in the version 7.11 order to get data from the Documents module in order to attach a PDF an existing document to an email, via opening a drawer.

I might be missing something here. I am putting this issue here once I posted a similar one in the community forum and no one answered so far.

The function is triggered after a pressed button in the edit view of a custom module.

I have tried some different approachs as

Approach 1:
var document1;
//document1 = app.data.createBean("Documents", {id:document_id}); // same effect
document1 = SUGAR.App.data.createBean('Documents', {id:document_id});
var loaded_document;
document1.fetch();
console.log(document1.toJSON()); // got just the ID

APPROACH 2:

var document1 = app.data.createBean("Documents");
document1.fetch({
filter:[{id:document_id}],
});
console.log(document1.toJSON()); // get none

APPROACH 3:

var loaded_document;
var document1 = SUGAR.App.data.createBean('Documents', {id:document_id});

var request = document1.fetch();

request.xhr.done(function () {
console.log( "entered" );
console.log( document1.get('name') ); //undefined
loaded_document = document1; // loaded_document remains undefined
});

APPROACH 4:

document2 = SUGAR.App.data.createBean('Accounts', {'id': '9f77f918-22e0-70b7-a099-55d38d970d20'});
requestA = document2.fetch();
var datatest;
requestA.xhr.done({
success: function(data){
console.log("document2 in success --- ");
console.log(data);
loaded2 = document2;
datatest = data;
}
});

console.log(document2.toJSON());// just the ID

APPROACH 5:

With this approach, the result comes is called afterwards. How could I assure this runs in the right time, if this is the solution?

var loaded2,

url = app.api.buildURL('Documents/'+document_id);

self = this;

app.api.call('GET', url, null, {

success: _.bind( function (data){
console.log("data get");
console.log(data);
loaded2 = data; // after email drawer is charged, it is called
document1 = SUGAR.App.data.createBean('Documents', data); // is this correct?
}, this),

error:_.bind(function(o){

console.log("Error retrieving Document" + o);

}, this),

}, {async: false}); // the async: false is essential in this case.

console.log(loaded2); // ok, but still not populating as expected

After this, in compose-email.js I am trying to send it as an attachment:

APPROACH 1:

I get the object and populate prepopulate:

prepopulate.attachments.push(document1);

APPROACH 2:

Trigger the document attachment event

this.context.trigger('email_attachments:document', loaded_document);

Could any of you advise in each case?

Thank you in advance

Concerning loading objects, I kept using the APPROACH 5. Concerning the generation of attachments (from an existing Document) I did like the following when generating the drawer operation:

 // Considering document_id and the subject)in, bodyHtml, body vars and others already populated prepopulate = ({ subject : subject_in, html_body : bodyHtml, text_body : body, // attachment: attachment_pdf, // for working with version 7.10.[0.1.2]: added to be compatible - // 2018-02-28 name : subject_in, description_html : bodyHtml || body, description : body, attachments : [], }); var url = app.api.buildURL('Documents/'+document_id), document1 = app.data.createBean('Documents', {id:document_id}); app.api.call('GET', url, null, { success: _.bind( function (data){ console.log("data get"); document1 = SUGAR.App.data.createBean('Documents', data); }, this), error:_.bind(function(o){ console.log("Error retrieving Document" + o); }, this), }, {async: false}); var bean = app.data.createBean('Notes', { _link: 'attachments', upload_id: document1.get('document_revision_id'), //name: this.model.get('name'), filename: this.model.get('name'), name: document1.get('filename') || document1.get('name'), filename: document1.get('filename') || document1.get('name'), file_mime_type: document1.get('latest_revision_file_mime_type'), file_size: document1.get('latest_revision_file_size'), file_ext: document1.get('latest_revision_file_ext'), file_source: 'DocumentRevisions' }); prepopulate.attachments.push(bean); app.utils.openEmailCreateDrawer('compose-email', prepopulate, _.bind( function(context, model) { // Reload the BWC window to update subpanels. console.log("Email Composer launched") }, this));
