SchemaName JS exposer for CRM

Sometimes inspecting all the elements with Developer Tools or clicking over and over again on the CRM form, attribute by attribute can be irritating. There for, I propose the following approach to all the CRM Consultants and Developers out there who need the attributes’ schema names fast. The JS library is stand-alone and all that is needed is a call to the main function – Expose (on the OnLoad event).

function ToggleAttributeVisibility(attributeName, isVisible)
{
	var attr = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(attributeName);
 
	if(attr)
	{	
		attr.controls.forEach(function (callControl) {
			callControl.setVisible(isVisible);
		});
	}
}
 
function ExposeAttributes(showHidden)
{
	if(showHidden == undefined || showHidden == null)
		showHidden = true;
 
	var attributes = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();
 
	for (var i in attributes) 
	{
		var attr = attributes[i];
		var attrName = attr.getName();		
		var attrType = attr.getAttributeType();
 
		if(showHidden)
			ToggleAttributeVisibility(attrName, true);
 
		var attrData = $("#" + attrName + "_d");
		var attrDataHeader = $("#header_" + attrName + "_d");
		var attrDataFooter = $("#footer_" + attrName + "_d");
 
		var replaceWith = "<b>" + attrName + "</b> (" + attrType + ")";
 
		if(attrData && attrData.length)
			attrData.html(replaceWith);
 
		if(attrDataHeader && attrDataHeader.length)
			attrDataHeader.html(replaceWith);
 
		if(attrDataFooter && attrDataFooter.length)
			attrDataFooter.html(replaceWith);
	}
}
 
function Expose()
{
	ExposeAttributes();
}

And a sneak preview:

Happy coding! 🙂
