Set Apects via REST API Call in Alfresco - alfresco

Question

What is the JSON Format to set aspects to some folder or documents in alfresco via REST API.

Answer 1

You need to send POST request by the following url (Alfresco 4.1.5):
your_host/alfresco/s/slingshot/doclib/action/aspects/node/workspace/SpacesStore/{nodeUUID}
for Alfresco 5:
your_host/alfresco/s/slingshot/doclib/action/aspects/node/workspace/SpacesStore/{nodeUUID}
with the following body:
{
"added":["abc:doc"],
"removed":[]
}

Answer 2

The preferred approach is to use CMIS rather than the internal slingshot web script. Using CMIS you can add an aspect in a standard way, and you can do it via the browser binding (JSON), the Atom Pub binding (XML), or Web Services.
You can use a CMIS client, such as one of the ones available from http://chemistry.apache.org, or you can do it using the raw binding directly over HTTP.
In CMIS 1.1 you add an aspect by adding its ID to the multi-value property named cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds.
Here's a gist that shows what this looks like in Java: https://gist.github.com/jpotts/7242070

You need to make one custom webscript.The code of webscript will be like below.In case of webscript you can use below link for learning purpose.
https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts
var props = new Array(1);
props["cm:template"] = document.nodeRef;
document.addAspect("cm:templatable", props);
props = new Array(1);
props["cm:lockIsDeep"] = true;
document.addAspect("cm:lockable", props);
props = new Array(1);
props["cm:hits"] = 1;
document.addAspect("cm:countable", props);
