createGroup( )


Creates a group.

The createGroup() function returns a Promise that resolves to a newly-created group after it has successfully been created. The new group is added to the Groups List page of your site.

Site admins can choose to allow site members to create a group. They can also require that site members request their approval when creating a group. This setting can be found in your site's Dashboard under Groups Application > General Settings > Group Creation. If set to admin approval required, a site member uses this function to create a group, and the group becomes a createRequest with a status of PENDING until the group is reviewed. The default is set to site members with admin approval.

getGroupBySlug( )


Gets a group by slug.

The getGroupBySlug() function returns a Promise that resolves to a group whose slug matches the given slug. The slug is the end of a group's URL that refers to a specific group.

ascending( )


Adds a sort to a query, sorting by the specified properties in ascending order.

The ascending() function refines a GroupsQueryBuilder to sort by the value of propertyName in ascending order. You can specify multiple properties for sorting in ascending order by passing each property name as an additional argument. ascending() sorts the results in the order the properties are passed. You can sort the following types:

  • Number: Sorts numerically.
  • Date: Sorts by date and time.
  • String: Sorts lexicographically, so 'abc' comes after 'XYZ'. If a property contains a number stored as a string (for example, '0'), that value is sorted alphabetically and not numerically. If a property doesn't have a value, that value is ranked lowest.

Method Parameters
propertyNamesArray<string>

eq( )


Refines a query to match items where the specified property equals the specified value.

The eq() function refines a GroupsQueryBuilder to match only items where the value of the specified propertyName equals the specified value. eq() matches only values of the same type. For example, 0 stored as a number doesn't match '0' stored as a string. Matching strings with eq() is case-sensitive, so 'text' isn't equal to 'Text'.

exists( )


Refines a query to match items where the specified property contains a value.

The exists() function refines a GroupsQueryBuilder to only match items where the value of the specified propertyName doesn't equal null or undefined. exists() checks for either existence or non-existence based on the boolen parameter. Note that exists() does match items where the value of the specified propertyName is an empty string or an invalid value. exists() is only useful for properties which don't contain default values and therefore their values may be unassigned.

Refines a query to match items whose specified property contains any of the specified values.

The hasSome() function refines a GroupsQueryBuilder to match only items where the value of the specified propertyName equals any of the specified values.
