How to get footnote number?

Question

In the C# api there is an easy way to get the footnote index. How do I do it in the Javascript version?

Hi Peter Henry

This is possible through the paragraphs property. You can iterate through the paragraphs and check if each paragraph is part of a footnote, then extract the index.

// Run a batch operation to access the document Word.run(async (context) => {     // Get the paragraphs in the document     let paragraphs = context.document.body.paragraphs;          // Load the paragraphs and footnotes     paragraphs.load("items,items/footnoteOrNull");      await context.sync();      // Iterate through the paragraphs and check for footnotes     paragraphs.items.forEach((paragraph, index) => {         let footnote = paragraph.footnoteOrNull;         if (footnote.isNullObject) {             // The paragraph is not part of a footnote         } else {             // The paragraph is part of a footnote             console.log("Paragraph at index " + index + " is part of footnote with ID: " + footnote.id);         }     }); }); 

Kindly accept the answer if this helps thanks much.
