Rest v10 metadata API

Hi Divya Priya Rajendran

In V10 you can request for the metadata and filter the result by the module name, if you are using PHP see this link https://community.sugarcrm.com/message/88332-re-get-all-fields-of-a-module?commentID=88332#comment-88342 

If you need to do it on sidecar use this:

app.api.call('read','/rest/v10/metadata?type_filter=modules,fields&module_filter=Accounts');

to test the line above, go to sugar, open the chrome developer tools and in the console put:

var tt = App.api.call('read','/rest/v10/metadata?type_filter=modules,fields&module_filter=Accounts');

tt.xhr.success(function(res){console.log(res.modules.Accounts.fields.name);})

You get a response like:

1. Object
   1. audited:true
   2. calculated:false
   3. comment:"Name of the Company"
   4. comments:"Name of the Company"
   5. dbType:"varchar"
   6. duplicate_merge:"enabled"
   7. duplicate_merge_dom_value:"1"
   8. duplicate_on_record_copy:"always"
   9. full_text_search:Object
   10. importable:"required"
   11. len:150
   12. massupdate:false
   13. merge_filter:"disabled"
   14. name:"name"
   15. required:true
   16. type:"name"
   17. unified_search:true
   18. vname:"LBL_NAME"
   19. __proto__:Object

In the vname key it's the label name

Hope this help

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time. The metadata api gives more info about sugarcrm's database. But I want information regarding the layout. For instance in v4 endpoint, we have the get_module_fields(). The following link says this api has been succeeded by a new version. where is the new version ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi All,

I found solution for this. We have to call the API: /lang/:lang . This returns the Display labels
