Methods

ancestorPerformanceRestrictions()

Apply default restrictions suitable for fetching ancestor pages to the cursor as a starting point before applying the ancestor options. Called by the ancestors filter here and also by pages.pageBeforeSend when it fetches just the home page using the same options, in the event ancestors were not loaded, such as on the home page itself. You should not need to modify or invoke this.

isPage(value)

Filter. When calling self.pages.find our expectation is that we will only get pages, not docs that are not a part of the page tree. This filter defaults to true.

ancestors(value)

Filter. If set to true, retrieve the ancestors of each page and assign them to the ._ancestors property. The home page is ._ancestors[0]. The page itself is not included in its ._ancestors array.

If the argument is an object, do all of the above, and also call the filters present in the object on the cursor that fetches the ancestors. For example, you can pass { children: true } to fetch the children of each ancestor as the ._children property of each ancestor, or pass { children: { depth: 2 } } to get really fancy.

ancestors also has its own depth option, but it doesn't do what you think. If the depth option is present as a top-level property of the object passed to ancestors, then only that many ancestors are retrieved, counting backwards from the immediate parent of each page.

orphan(value)

Filter. if flag is null, undefined or this method is never called, return docs regardless of orphan status. if flag is true, return only orphan docs. If flag is false, return only docs that are not orphans. Orphans are pages that are not returned by the default behavior of the children filter implemented by apostrophe-pages-cursor and thus are left out of standard navigation.

children(value)

reorganize(value)

Use .reorganize(true) to return only pages that are suitable for display in the reorganize view. For instance, if you have thousands of subpages of a "blog" page, you might want to hide them from the global reorganize interface by setting their reorganize property to false.
