Nully values will be ignored by the application property.

A reference to the type's base type, if any.

When the specification is used in the context of a property, it defaults to "property". Otherwise, when absent or undefined, it defaults to "complex".

See a subtype's documentation for more information on default values.

The category associated with the type.

The category is used primarily to group similar types (or instances of) in a user interface.

When non-Nully and not a string, it is taken instead to be the result of calling its toString method.

When undefined, the category is inherited from the base type.

When an empty string or null, the category is forced to be null, ignoring any inherited value.

The default view for instances of the type.

When a string, it is the identifier of the view's AMD module. If the identifier is relative, it is relative to sourceId.

When undefined, the view is inherited from the base type, if any. The root view is null.

When falsy (like if null or an empty string), the value is forced to be null, ignoring any inherited value.

When a function, it is the class or factory of the view.

When non-Nully and not a string, it is taken instead to be the result of calling its toString method.

When undefined, the description is inherited from the base type.

When an empty string or null, the description is forced to be null, ignoring any inherited value.

An URL pointing to documentation associated with the type.

When non-Nully and not a string, it is taken instead to be the result of calling its toString method.

When undefined, the help url is inherited from the base type.

When an empty string or null, the help url is forced to be null, ignoring any inherited value.

The identifier of the type's AMD module, a temporary identifier, or null.

An empty string or undefined value is interpreted as null.

For serialization purposes, a temporary identifier can be assigned to an anonymous type. An identifier is temporary if it starts with idTemporaryPrefix.

Temporary identifiers are ignored upon type construction.

When unspecified or null, it defaults to sourceId.

Indicates if the type is abstract.

An abstract type cannot be used directly to create an instance and, as such, it is not usually exposed to users in a user interface.

When not a boolean, it is taken instead to be the result of passing it to the Boolean function.

Indicates if the type should be exposed only to advanced users in a user interface.

When non-Nully and not a boolean, it is taken instead to be the result of passing it to the Boolean function.

When Nully, the attribute value is inherited from the base type, if any. The root value is false.

The label of the type.

When non-Nully and not a string, it is taken instead to be the result of calling its toString method.

When an empty string or Nully, the label is inherited from the base type.

The ordinal associated with the type.

The ordinal is used to disambiguate the order with which a type (or an instance of it) is shown in a user interface.

When Nully, the ordinal is inherited from the base type, if any. The root value is 0.

Converts a non-Nully external value to the type stored by the simple type, in its value property.

If you override this method, be sure to call the base implementation or to not violate its intended semantics.
