The ScalarNode class represents a single node of a Scalar book.

Methods

Method	Type	Description
getDisplayTitle( removeMarkup )	string	Returns the title of the node, formatted for display. If the removeMarkup parameter is true, HTML markup will be removed from the title.
getDominantScalarType()	object	Returns an object literal describing the most specialized type associated with the node— for example: while every path is also a page, this method will only return the “path” object for nodes that are paths.
getRelatedNodes( type, direction, [includeNonPages], [sort] )	array	Returns an array of ScalarNode objects related to the node by the specified criteria. Method parameters: type (string) - The type of relationship to match. Possible values include “annotation”, “path”, “reply” (i.e. comment), and “tag”. direction (string) - The direction of the relationship relative to this node, either “outgoing” or “incoming”. includeNonPages (boolean) - If true, will include non-page nodes (like authors, for example) in the results. sort (string) - Sort method to be applied to the results. Available options are “index”, which returns results in their author-specified order, “reverseindex”, which reverses the author-specified order of the results, and “alphabetical”, which sorts the results by title.
getRelations( type, direction, [sort], [includeNonPages] )	array	Returns an array of ScalarRelation objects related to the node by the specified criteria. Method parameters: type (string) - The type of relationship to match. Possible values include “annotation”, “path”, “reply” (i.e. comment), and “tag”. direction (string) - The direction of the relationship relative to this node, either “outgoing” or “incoming”. sort (string) - Sort method to be applied to the results. Available options are “index”, which returns results in their author-specified order, or “reverseindex” which reverses the author-specified order of the results. includeNonPages (boolean) - If true, will include non-page nodes (like authors, for example) in the results.
getSortTitle()	string	Returns the title of the node, formatted for alphabetical sorting (i.e. with initial non-alphabetic components like the word “the” removed). Normally used for internal processing of arrays of nodes.
hasScalarType( typeName )	boolean	Returns true if any of the Scalar types associated with the node match the specified type name.
