An anonymous record is a record without a predefined name. It's useful as a wrapper around an actual record that can be swapped out for another while keeping all bindings intact.
An anonymousRecord extends Record and contains all of its API calls.
To learn more about how they are used, have a look at the AnonymousRecord Tutorial.
Creating an Anonymous Record
AnonymousRecords are created and retrieved using client.record.getAnonymousRecord()
const anonymousRecord = client.record.getAnonymousRecord()
Anonymous Record Methods
In addition to the methods of a record, an anonymous record also has
setName(recordName)
| argument | type | optional | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| recordName | String | false | The name of the actual record that should be used. This can be called multiple times. |
Sets the underlying record the anonymousRecord wraps around. It takes care of cleaning up the previous record on your behalf.
const anonymousRecord = client.record.getAnonymousRecord()
anonymousRecord.setName('user/john-snow')
Events
