Saving Single Object

Using Untyped ObjectsCustom Class/Function

Backendless.Data.of( "TABLE-NAME" ).save( { propertyA:"", propertyB:""} )
 .then( function( savedObject ) {
  })
 .catch( function( error ) {
  });

function DataTypeX() {
  this.propertyA = "";
  this.propertyB = "";
}
Backendless.Data.of( DataTypeX ).save( new DataTypeX() )
 .then( function( savedObject ) {
  })
 .catch( function( error ) {
  });

where:

Argument	Description
DataTypeX	Function/class identifying the table where the object will be stored. Instances of the class will be saved in the table.
"TABLE-NAME"	Name of the table where the object will be stored.

Return Value

Returns the saved object with the objectId property assigned by Backendless

Example

Using Untyped ObjectsCustom Class/Function

var contact = {
    name:"Jack Daniels",
    age:147,
    phone:"777-777-777",
    title:"Favorites"
}

Backendless.Data.of( "Contact" ).save( contact )
  .then( function( savedObject ) {
      console.log( "new Contact instance has been saved" );
    })
  .catch( function( error ) {
      console.log( "an error has occurred " + error.message );
    });

Consider the following class:

function Contact(args) {
    args = args || {};
    this.name = args.name || "";
    this.age = args.age || "";
    this.phone = args.phone || "";
    this.title = args.title || "";
}

The following code saves a new instance of the Contact class:

// do not forget to initialize the app with Backendless.initApp( appId, jsAPIKey );

var contactObject = new Contact( {
    name: "James Bond",
    age: 45,
    phone: "1-800-JAMESBOND",
    title: "chief spying officer"
});

Backendless.Data.of( Contact ).save( contact )
  .then( function( savedObject ) {
      console.log( "new Contact instance has been saved" );
    })
  .catch( function( error ) {
      console.log( "an error has occurred " + error.message );
    });

Codeless Reference

where:

Argument	Description
table name	Name of the data table where a new record must be saved.
object	An object to save in the database. Object properties must match the names of the table columns. The object must not have the objectId property.
return result	Optional parameter. When this box is checked, the operation returns the saved object with the objectId property.

Returns the saved object with the objectId property assigned by Backendless

Consider the following structure of the data table called employees:

For demonstration purposes, the data table presented above has three custom columns: name, position, and phoneNumber. The objectId is a system column that contains unique identifiers of the records in the table. When a new record is saved to the table, the system assigns a unique objectId to it. The objectid is used in various operations as an access point to a specific record.

The example below saves a new object to the employees data table:

The result of this operation will look as shown below after the Codeless logic runs:

The operation described above has returned the newly saved object:
