item
The eagle.item API allows you to easily query the current content of the resource library or add new content to the resource library.
eagle.onPluginCreate(async (plugin) => {
// Get the currently selected file in the Eagle app
let items = await eagle.item.getSelected();
let item = items[0];
// Modify attributes
item.name = 'New Name';
item.tags = ['tag1', 'tag2'];
// Save modifications
await item.save();
});🦄 Best Practice: To ensure data security, use the item API provided save() method for data access and modification, and avoid directly modifying the metadata.json or any files under the Eagle resource library.
Methods
get(options)
Universal search method that can get files with specified conditions.
optionsObject - Query conditionsidstring (optional) - File ididsstring[] (optional) - Array of file idsisSelectedboolean (optional) - Currently selected filesisUntaggedboolean (optional) - Files that have not been taggedisUnfiledboolean (optional) - Files that have not been categorizedkeywordsstring[] (optional) - Contains keywordstagsstring[] (optional) - Contains tagsfoldersstring[] (optional) - Contains foldersextstring (optional) - Formatannotationstring (optional) - AnnotationratingInteger (optional) - Rating, range from0 ~ 5urlstring (optional) - Source URLshapestring (optional) - Shape, options aresquare,portrait,panoramic-portrait,landscape,panoramic-landscapefieldsstring[] (optional) - Specify fields to return, only returning needed data to improve performance
Returns
Promise<items: Item[]>-itemsquery result
Performance Tip: Using the fields parameter can significantly improve performance, especially when handling large numbers of files and only partial information is needed.
getAll()
Return all files.
Returns
Promise<items: Item[]>-itemsall files
🦄 Best Practice: If the resource library has a large number of files (e.g., 20W+), avoid calling this method without restrictions to avoid reducing application performance.
getById(itemId)
Return the file with the specified ID.
itemIdstringReturns
Promise<item: Item>-itemthe file with the corresponding ID
getByIds(itemIds)
Return the files with the specified IDs.
itemIdsstring[]Returns
Promise<items: Item[]>-itemsthe files with the corresponding IDs
getSelected()
Return the currently selected files in the application.
Returns
Promise<items: Item[]>-itemsselected files
getIdsWithModifiedAt()
Quickly get IDs and last modified times for all files.
Returns
Promise<items: Object[]>- Array of objects containingidandmodifiedAt
Performance Tip: This method is specifically optimized for retrieving file IDs and modification times, and is much faster than using the get() method to retrieve complete data.
count(options)
Returns the number of files that match the specified query conditions.
optionsObject - Query conditions (same asget()method)idstring (optional) - File ididsstring[] (optional) - Array of file idsisSelectedboolean (optional) - Currently selected filesisUntaggedboolean (optional) - Files that have not been taggedisUnfiledboolean (optional) - Files that have not been categorizedkeywordsstring[] (optional) - Contains keywordstagsstring[] (optional) - Contains tagsfoldersstring[] (optional) - Contains foldersextstring (optional) - Formatannotationstring (optional) - AnnotationratingInteger (optional) - Rating, range from0 ~ 5urlstring (optional) - Source URLshapestring (optional) - Shape, options aresquare,portrait,panoramic-portrait,landscape,panoramic-landscape
Returns
Promise<count: number>-countnumber of files matching the query conditions
Performance Tip: The count() method is optimized for performance and is more efficient than calling get() and checking the array length when you only need the number of files.
countAll()
Returns the total number of files in the resource library.
Returns
Promise<count: number>-counttotal number of files
Performance Tip: This method is highly optimized and provides a fast way to get the total file count without loading all file data into memory.
countSelected()
Returns the number of currently selected files in the application.
Returns
Promise<count: number>-countnumber of selected files
Performance Tip: This is a convenience method that provides a faster way to count selected files compared to using getSelected().length.
select(itemIds)
Select specified files
itemIdsstring[] - Array of file IDs to selectReturns
Promise<result: boolean>-resultwhether the selection was successful
Note: Calling this method will replace the current selection state, rather than appending to existing selected items.
Note: The select() method requires Eagle 4.0 build12 or higher.

itemIdstring - ID of the file to displayoptionsObject (optional) - Open optionswindowboolean (optional) - Whether to open the file in a new window, defaults tofalse
Returns
Promise<result: boolean>
Note: The window parameter requires Eagle 4.0 build12 or higher.
Hint: You can also directly call the open() method of the item instance to open the file.
Class: Item
Object type returned by Eagle API get, provides modification and save features.
🦄 Best Practice: To ensure data security, use save() method provided by the Item instance for data access and modification. Avoid directly modifying metadata.json or any files in the Eagle repository.
Instance methods
save()
Save all modifications
Returns
Promise<result: boolean>-resultindicates whether the modification was successful
moveToTrash()
Move the file to the trash.
Returns
Promise<result: boolean>-resultIndicates whether the deletion was successful.
replaceFile(filePath)
Replace the original file with the specified file, automatically refreshing the thumbnail without needing to call refreshThumbnail() again.
🦄 Best Practice: Directly modifying the file you want to change can be risky. Errors or exceptions during the process may cause file corruption and be irreversible. Therefore, to ensure a more robust operation, first save the new version of the file in another location on your computer. After verifying it's correct, use the replaceFile() method to replace it.

Promise<result: boolean>-resultindicates whether the replacement was successful
refreshThumbnail()

Note: The window parameter requires Eagle 4.0 build12 or higher.
select()
Select this file
Returns
Promise<result: boolean>-resultwhether the selection was successful
Note: Calling the instance method select() will clear the current selection and select only this file. To batch select multiple files, use the static method eagle.item.select(itemIds).
Note: The select() method requires Eagle 4.0 build12 or higher.
