Re: How to use Global Javascript API functions?

How to use Global Javascript API functions?

Hello Community,

 

I found a list of extra functions to use and I want to try out `FilesFileMetadata`, to look at Metadata of a photo.

 

However, `dbx.FilesFileMetadata` doesn't exist, and leaving out the `dbx.` also doesn't.

 

I looked for a guide on the global functions, but I couldn't find one. Does anyone know how to use them?

 

Cheers!

These are not 'functions' but properties of the functions in (this list)[https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#toc4__anchor].

E.g. `FilesFileMetadata` is a property that is returned in the function: `filesAlphaGetMetadata(arg)`. In the 'global' list of functions you just get more information on what this property is / contains.
