In SSOM this feature corresponds to SPList.DefaultItemOpen property:
Gets or sets a value that specifies whether to open list items in a
client application or in the browser.
In REST/CSOM this property is not exposed but it could be extracted and determined via List schema Xml. For more details about this approach follow this post.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to determine whether to open list items in a client application or in the browser using REST API:
function schemaXml2Json(schemaXml)
{
var jsonObject = {};
var schemaXmlDoc = $.parseXML(schemaXml);
$(schemaXmlDoc).find('List').each(function() {
$.each(this.attributes, function(i, attr){
jsonObject[attr.name] = attr.value;
});
});
return jsonObject;
}
function getDefaultItemOpen(webUrl,listTitle)
{
var endpointUrl = webUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listTitle + "')?$select=schemaXml";
return $.getJSON(endpointUrl).then(function(data){
var listProperties = schemaXml2Json(data.SchemaXml);
var flags = parseInt(listProperties.Flags);
var defaultItemOpen = (flags & 268435456) != 0 ? "Browser" : "PreferClient";
return defaultItemOpen;
});
}
Usage
getDefaultItemOpen(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl,'Documents')
.done(function(value){
console.log('DefaultItemOpen: ' + value);
});
