Create Master Item Visualisation.js

// The idea is to create a master item visualisation from
// an existing dashboard object
// If the requirement is to create a master item from json (exported from another app)
// the first step is to create the source object first and the use it
// to create the master item and then drop the source (if needed)

// Create empty object with type of masteritem
let myMasterItem = await qDoc.createObject({
			"qInfo": {
				"qId": "my-id",
				"qType": "masterobject"
			},
			"qExtendsId": "",
			"qMetaDef": {"tite": "", "description": "", "tags": []},
			"qStateName": ""
		}
)

// Copy the properties from an existing object
await myMasterItem.copyFrom("my-source-object")

// Get the masteritem properties and update the meta definition
// setting the title and description
let myMasterItemProperties = await myMasterItem.getProperties()
myMasterItemProperties.qMetaDef = {title: "My Master Item", description: "Master Item created with Engine API", tags: []}

//Finally - update the master item properties with the changed mete def
await myMasterItem.setProperties(myMasterItemProperties)

// at this point is safe to drop the source object ... if required
// await qDoc.deleteObject("my-source-object")
