+# Node Service
+
+Get Alfresco Repository node metadata and create nodes with metadata. 
+This service cannot be used to create nodes with content.
+
+## Methods
+
+#### getNodeMetadata(nodeId: string): Observable<NodeMetadata>
+Get the metadata and type for passed in node ID (e.g. 3062d73b-fe47-4040-89d2-79efae63869c): 
+
+```ts
+import { NodeService } from 'ng2-activiti-form';
+
+export class SomePageComponent implements OnInit {
+
+  constructor(private nodeService: NodeService) {
+  }
+
+  ngOnInit() {
+    // Get the node reference from somewhere...
+    const nodeId = '3062d73b-fe47-4040-89d2-79efae63869c';
+
+    this.nodeService.getNodeMetadata(nodeId).subscribe(data => {
+        const nodeMetadata = data.metadata;
+        const nodeType = data.nodeType;
+      },
+      this.handleError);
+  }
+
+  private handleError(err: any): any {
+    console.log('Error: ', err);
+  }
+```
+
+The metadata response doesn't include the `cm:auditable` properties (i.e. created, creator, modified, modifier, last access) 
+or the name of the node (i.e. `cm:name`). 
+
+The `metadata` response looks like in this example:
+
+```
+author: "Martin"
+description: "Installation guide for Alfresco 3.3 on Linux"
+lastThumbnailModification: "doclib:1505900632400"
+title: "Install 3.3 Linux"
+versionLabel: "1.0"
+versionType: "MAJOR"
+```
+
+Note that the properties are missing namespace prefix. The `nodeType` response will be returned with namespace prefix, 
+such as `cm:content`.
+
+Executing this method on a folder node returns no metadata, just the type.
+
+#### createNode(name: string, nodeType: string, properties: any, path: string): Observable<any>
+Creates a node in the Alfresco Repository with passed in `name`, `nodeType`, and metadata `properties`.
+It will be created in the folder `path` that is passed in. 
+
+```ts
+import { NodeService } from 'ng2-activiti-form';
+
+export class SomePageComponent implements OnInit {
+
+  constructor(private nodeService: NodeService) {
+  }
+
+  ngOnInit() {
+    const nodePath = '/Guest Home';
+    const nodeName = 'someFolder';
+    const nodeType = 'cm:folder';
+    const properties = {
+      'cm:title': 'Some title',
+      'cm:description': 'Some description'
+    }
+    this.nodeService.createNode(nodeName, nodeType, properties, nodePath).subscribe(nodeInfo => {
+        console.log('Node info: ', nodeInfo);
+      },
+      this.handleError);
+  }
+
+  private handleError(err: any): any {
+    console.log('Error: ', err);
+  }
+```
+Note that the `path` property should not include **/Company Home**.
+
+The response includes all metadata about the new node:
+
+```
+entry: 
+    aspectNames: (2) ["cm:titled", "cm:auditable"]
+    createdAt: Mon Nov 06 2017 13:04:49 GMT+0000 (GMT) {}
+    createdByUser: {id: "admin@app.activiti.com", displayName: "ADF User"}
+    id: "1ab71bb1-d67f-4147-95f6-b5801830ca08"
+    isFile: false
+    isFolder: true
+    modifiedAt: Mon Nov 06 2017 13:04:49 GMT+0000 (GMT) {}
+    modifiedByUser: {id: "admin@app.activiti.com", displayName: "ADF User"}
+    name: "someFolder"
+    nodeType: "cm:folder"
+    parentId: "a29b5fe3-81f6-46a7-9bed-6a53620acb32"
+    properties: {cm:title: "Some title", cm:description: "Some description"}
+```
+
+#### createNodeMetadata(nodeType: string, nameSpace: any, data: any, path: string, name?: string): Observable<any>
+This is a convenience method if your property list is missing namespace prefix for property names. 
+The namespace prefix can then be supplied separately and this method will prepend it automatically.
+This method calls the `createNode` method internally: 
+
+```ts
+import { NodeService } from 'ng2-activiti-form';
+
+export class SomePageComponent implements OnInit {
+
+  constructor(private nodeService: NodeService) {
+  }
+
+  ngOnInit() {
+    const nodePath = '/Guest Home';
+    const nodeName = 'someFolder';
+    const nodeType = 'cm:folder';
+    const propNamespacePrefix = 'cm';
+    const properties = {
+      'title': 'Some title',
+      'description': 'Some description'
+    }
+    this.nodeService.createNodeMetadata(nodeType, propNamespacePrefix, properties, nodePath, nodeName).subscribe(nodeInfo => {
+        console.log('Node info: ', nodeInfo);
+      },
+      this.handleError);
+  }
+
+  private handleError(err: any): any {
+    console.log('Error: ', err);
+  }
+```
+
+See the `createNode` method for information about the response object.
