Add-in Code Snippet

The following code snippet is used in SharePoint Add-in to get the boolean property of NoCrawl for the SharePoint website.

// Load the js files and continue to the successHandler
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execCrossDomainRequest);
// Function to prepare and issue the request to get
// SharePoint data
function execCrossDomainRequest()
{
    // Initialize the RequestExecutor with the add-in web URL.
    var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
    // Issue the call against the add-in web.
    // To get the NoCrawl property using REST we can hit the endpoint:
    // appweburl/_api/web?select=NoCrawl&@target=hostweburl
    // The response formats the data in the JSON format.
    executor.executeAsync(
    {
        url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web?$select=nocrawl&@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
        method: "GET",
        headers:
        {
            "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose"
        },
        success: successHandler,
        error: errorHandler
    });
}
// Function to handle the success event.
function successHandler(data)
{
    var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body)
        //jsonObject.d.NoCrawl returns true if enabled otherwise it returns false
    console.log('Search disabled on this site: ' + jsonObject.d.NoCrawl);
    if (!jsonObject.d.NoCrawl)
        $('#message').html('Search enabled on this site.');
    else
        $('#message').html('Search disabled on this site.');
}

function errorHandler(data, errorCode, errorMessage)
{
    console.log("Could not complete cross-domain call: " + errorMessage);
}
