You can try getting resource & resource resolver in js and then modify nodes.

 

var resourceResolver = resource.getResourceResolver();

 Also, you can check below for additional info:

Hope this helps.

 

another question is, it would be easy to write backend logic at java-sling model level. What is reason you're using js use api?

thanks

@hendrahaqq Since you are new to AEM , I would say please restrain from doing node manipulation using JS ( though I am not sure if you can do it as I have never tried it myself). The right way to do any kind of node manipulation is to use service users in your backend Java.

With "Use API" you are probably referring to HTL scripts from which you reference these javascript scriptlets. And that means that this execution most likely should happen during the page rendering.

 

Basically that's probably, but you need to make sure that the user has enough permissions to write to the repository at the correct location. And for anonymous users that's definitely never the case.
