The valueType of a property of this type is Mapping and stores the association between the visual role and the data properties, here named data attributes, of a visualization's current dataset. The mapping holds two pieces of information:

an optional, fixed level of measurement in which the visual role should operate
a list of associations to data properties, attributes, each of the type pentaho.visual.role.MappingAttribute.

$type: pentaho.type.Type

Gets the type of this instance.

Overrides: pentaho.type.Property#$type

Methods Details

toJSON() : UJsonValue

Creates a top-level JSON specification that describes this instance.

Attributes which do not have a JSON-compatible specification are omitted. Specifically, for inline types, attributes with a function value are not supported.

This method simply calls pentaho.type.Instance#toSpec with argument keyArgs.isJson as true and exists for seamless integration with JavaScript's JSON.stringify method.

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Instance#toJSON

Returns:
Name	Description
`UJsonValue`	A JSON-compatible specification.

See also: pentaho.type.Instance#toSpec

toSpec(keyArgs) : any

Creates a top-level specification that describes this instance.

If an ambient specification context currently exists, it is used to manage the serialization process. Otherwise, one is created and set as current. Then, the actual work is delegated to pentaho.type.Instance#toSpecInContext.

Name Default Value Summary

keyArgs : Object

Optional

The keyword arguments' object. Passed to every instance and type serialized within this scope.

Please see the documentation of subclasses for information on additional, supported keyword arguments.

Parameters:
Name	Default Value	Summary
isJson : `boolean` Optional	false	Generates a JSON-compatible specification. Attributes that do not have a JSON-compatible specification are omitted.
declaredType : `pentaho.type.Type` Optional		The base type of this value's storage location. If the value does not have this exact type, its inline type property must be included in the specification. Otherwise, it can be omitted. When unspecified, the inline type property is only included if `forceType` is `true`.
forceType : `boolean` Optional	false	In the specification, forces inclusion of the inline type property: `_`.

Returns:
Name	Description
`any`	A specification of this instance.

toSpecInContext(keyArgs) : any

Abstract

Creates a specification that describes this instance.

Parameters:
Name	Default Value	Summary
