public interface FieldBehavior<T extends FieldBehavior<T>>
Interface for (expected to be?) enums which define behaviors that get applied to fields. Some of these behaviors get applied before a field is stored (insert or update), through the ValueBehaviorApplier class. Others can be used to do more advanced display formatting than the displayFormat string alone can do (see QValueFormatter).

  • Method Details

    • getDefault

      T getDefault()
      In case a behavior of this type wasn't set on the field, what should the default of this type be?

    • apply

      void apply(ValueBehaviorApplier.Action action, List<QRecord> recordList, QInstance instance, QTableMetaData table, QFieldMetaData field)
      Apply this behavior to a list of records

    • allowMultipleBehaviorsOfThisType

      default boolean allowMultipleBehaviorsOfThisType()
      control if multiple behaviors of this type should be allowed together on a field.

    • validateBehaviorConfiguration

      default List<String> validateBehaviorConfiguration(QTableMetaData tableMetaData, QFieldMetaData fieldMetaData)
      allow this behavior to be validated during QInstance validation. return a list of validation errors, if there are any.
