Interface FieldBehavior<T extends FieldBehavior<T>>

All Known Subinterfaces:

FieldDisplayBehavior<T>, FieldFilterBehavior<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

CaseChangeBehavior, CronExpressionDisplayValueBehavior, CronExpressionTooltipFieldBehavior, DateTimeDisplayValueBehavior, DynamicDefaultValueBehavior, FieldDisplayBehavior.NoopFieldDisplayBehavior, FilterJsonFieldDisplayValueFormatter, SavedBulkLoadProfileJsonFieldDisplayValueFormatter, SavedReportJsonFieldDisplayValueFormatter, ValueRangeBehavior, ValueTooLongBehavior, WhiteSpaceBehavior

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 Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default boolean	allowMultipleBehaviorsOfThisType()	control if multiple behaviors of this type should be allowed together on a field.
void	apply(ValueBehaviorApplier.Action action, List<QRecord> recordList, QInstance instance, QTableMetaData table, QFieldMetaData field)	Apply this behavior to a list of records
T	getDefault()	In case a behavior of this type wasn't set on the field, what should the default of this type be?
default List<String>	validateBehaviorConfiguration(QTableMetaData tableMetaData, QFieldMetaData fieldMetaData)	allow this behavior to be validated during QInstance validation.

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.
