Module: JSS::Locatable

Included in:
Computer, MobileDevice, Peripheral
Defined in:
lib/jss/api_object/locatable.rb,
lib/jss.rb

Overview

A mix-in module for handling location/user data for objects in the JSS.

The JSS objects that have location data return it in a :location subset, which all have basically the same data,a simple hash with these keys:

  • :building => String,

  • :department => String,

  • :email_address => String,

  • :phone => String

  • :position => String

  • :real_name => String,

  • :room => String,

  • :username => String

Including this module in an APIObject subclass will give it attributes matching those keys.

If the subclass is creatable or updatable, calling #location_xml returns a REXML element representing the location subset, to be included with the #rest_xml output of the subclass.

end

#location ⇒ Hash<String>

All the location data in a Hash, as it comes from the API.

The reason it isn't stored this way is to prevent editing of the hash directly.

#location_xml ⇒ REXML::Element

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Return a REXML <location> element to be included in the rest_xml of objects that have a Location subset

Returns:

  • (REXML::Element)

end

#parse_location ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Call this during initialization of objects that have a Location subset and the location attributes will be populated (as primary attributes) from @init_data
