With the release of Dynamics 365 update 9.0, now we have a new library to implement WebApi methods using Xrm.WebApi<\/strong>. Instead of writing complete request, now we can just use direct CURD methods from WebApi.<\/p>\n

Xrm.WebApi<\/strong> have two properties to use for Online<\/strong> and Offline<\/strong> client. In this article we are going to implement a sample HTML webresource using Xrm.WebApi<\/strong> for online client.<\/p>\n

Now to create entity record we can simply call Xrm.WebApi create method using following parameters:<\/p>\n

\r\nfunction createAccount() {\r\n    \/\/ collect account data\r\n    var data = {\r\n        "name": document.getElementById("txtname").value,\r\n        "address1_city": document.getElementById("txtcity").value,\r\n        "telephone1": document.getElementById("txtphone").value,\r\n        "numberofemployees": document.getElementById("txttotalemployees").value,\r\n        "websiteurl": document.getElementById("txtwebsite").value\r\n\r\n    }\r\n    \/\/ create account record\r\n    parent.Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("account", data).then(\r\n        function success(result) {\r\n            document.getElementById("txtaccountid").value = result.id;\r\n            alert("Account Created !!");\r\n        },\r\n        function(error) {\r\n            alert(error.message);\r\n        }\r\n    );\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n

To update entity record we can use following method and pass updated data:<\/p>\n
\r\nfunction updateAccount() {\r\n    \/\/ collect account data\r\n    var data = {\r\n        "name": document.getElementById("txtname").value,\r\n        "address1_city": document.getElementById("txtcity").value,\r\n        "telephone1": document.getElementById("txtphone").value,\r\n        "numberofemployees": document.getElementById("txttotalemployees").value,\r\n        "websiteurl": document.getElementById("txtwebsite").value\r\n\r\n    }\r\n    \/\/get account id\r\n    var accountId = document.getElementById("txtaccountid").value;\r\n\r\n    \/\/ update account record\r\n    parent.Xrm.WebApi.updateRecord("account", accountId, data).then(\r\n        function success(result) {\r\n            alert("Account Record Updated");\r\n\r\n        },\r\n        function(error) {\r\n            alert(error.message);\r\n\r\n        }\r\n    );\r\n\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n

And to delete we can simply pass entity and record it like following:<\/p>\n
\r\nfunction deleteAccount() {\r\n     var accountId = document.getElementById("txtaccountid").value;\r\n     parent.Xrm.WebApi.deleteRecord("account", accountId).then(\r\n         function success(result) {\r\n             alert("Account deleted");\r\n\r\n         },\r\n         function(error) {\r\n             alert(error.message);\r\n\r\n         }\r\n     );\r\n }\r\n<\/pre>\n
