About this Guide
This article contains a glossary of Ceros SDK layer-level commands to use when writing your own SDK code. Please note that all listed commands are as is, and we cannot guarantee all functionality to work across all experiences and devices.
findAllComponents()

var components = myLayer.findAllComponents(); components.click(); //clicks all components in the first layer
show()
called on: CerosLayer or CerosLayerCollection arguments: none
Makes the layer(s) visible. If this is called on a layer that is already visible, it will have no effect. Any entry animations configured on components in this layer will be triggered.
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); myLayer.show();
hide()
called on: CerosLayer or CerosLayerCollection arguments: none
Hides the layer(s). If this is called on a layer that is already hidden, it will have no effect. Any exit animations configured on components in this layer will be triggered.
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); myLayer.hide();
getPage()

Retrieves the CerosPage that this layer belongs to.
var myPage = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id').getPage();
getPayload()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none

var myPayload = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id').getPayload();
getTags()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none
Retrieves the tags for the layer, if you have tagged it with any in the Studio. If the layer has not been tagged, then an empty array is returned.
var tags = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id').getTags();
isComponent()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none
Returns true if the layer is a component or group
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); if (myLayer.isComponent()) { myLayer.show(); }
isGroup()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none
Returns true if the layer is a group
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); if (myLayer.isGroup()) { myLayer.show(); }
isSyncedObject()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none
Returns true if the layer is a synced object
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); if (myLayer.isSyncedObject()) { myLayer.show(); }
isFolder()
called on: CerosLayer arguments: none
Returns true if the layer is a folder
var myLayer = myExperience.findLayerById('a-layer-id'); if (myLayer.isFolder()) { myLayer.show(); }
