We might have a scenario, where we need to access multiple List to get different result collection.
JSOM allows us to send multiple CAML query in single ajax call – This save us load time, instead of making multiple ajax call we can do that in single ajax call.
function retrieveMultipleListItems() { var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current(); var oListTask = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Task1'); // Context of List1 var oList = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Task2'); // Context of List2 var queryString = '<View><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name=' DueDate ' Ascending=' true ' /></OrderBy></Query></View'; // CAML Query Sort by Date var query = new SP.CamlQuery(); query.set_viewXml(queryString); var taskOpenQuery = '<View><Query> <Where> <Neq> <FieldRef Name="Status" /> <Value Type="Choice">Completed</Value> </Neq> </Where></Query> </View> ' // CAML Query Filter var queryTask = new SP.CamlQuery(); queryTask.set_viewXml(taskOpenQuery); this.collListItem1 = oListTask.getItems(query); ctx.load(collListItem1); // This contains First List Query this.collListItem2 = oListTask.getItems(queryTask); ctx.load(collListItem2); // This contains Second List Query ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.GetMultipleListItemsSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.GetMultipleListItemFailure)); } function GetMultipleListItemsSuccess() { var listItemEnumerator = collListItem1.getEnumerator(); // Get collection of List 1 (collListItem1) while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) { var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current(); var id = oListItem.get_item('Title'); } var listItemEnumerator1 = collListItem1.getEnumerator(); // Get collection of List 2 (collListItem2) while (listItemEnumerator1.moveNext()) { var oListItem = listItemEnumerator1.get_current(); var id = oListItem.get_item('Title'); } } function GetMultipleListItemFailure(sender, args) { alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + ' ' + args.get_stackTrace()); }
Now, You will get two collection results with single ajax call. We can Process each collection separately using getEnumerator().
