IPropertyType

The alias for the identifier of this type.

The alias of a type can only be specified when extending the ancestor type.

This attribute is not inherited.

When unspecified, defaults to null.

The application property of the type.

The application property serves as a bag of properties specific to the container application, that can be modified via the Configuration Service.

Nully values will be ignored by the application property.

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

The property type's base type can only be specified on a root property of a complex type, in which case it defaults to pentaho.type.Property.

For non-root property types, their base property type is that with the same name in the base type of the declaring type.

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 maximum number of elements that properties of this type can have.

Note that this attribute is taken together with the isRequired and the countMin attributes to determine the effective element count range of a property type.

The minimum number of elements that properties of this type must have.

Note that this attribute is taken together with the isRequired attribute to determine the effective element count range of a property type.

The default value of properties of this type.

The default value is the "prototype" value that properties of this type take, on complex instances, when the property is unspecified or specified as a Nully value.

The value null is a valid default value.

The control value undefined resets the attribute, causing it to assume its default value (yes, the default value of the default value attribute...):

• for root property types or properties with a locally set valueType, the default value is null
• for other property types, the default value is the inherited value.

Else, the value must be either a function or a valid specification for a value of the property type's current (local or inherited) valueType.

When this is a list property type, the value must be a valid list value specification.

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.

The description of 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 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.

Inherited From: pentaho.type.spec.IType#helpUrl

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.

Default Value: false

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.

Inherited From: pentaho.type.spec.IType#isAdvanced

Indicates if properties of this type are applicable.

When a property is not (currently) applicable, then it does not apply; it does not make sense in a certain situation. It may only be applicable when another property of the complex type has a specific value, for example.

When a property is not currently applicable, its value is not significant and, as such, any validations concerning it are not performed.

Indicates if the type should be exposed to 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 true.

Inherited From: pentaho.type.spec.IType#isBrowsable

Indicates if properties of this type can be changed by a user in a user interface.

A property should be marked disabled whenever its value is implied/imposed somehow, and thus cannot not be changed, directly, by the user in a user interface.

Indicates if properties of this type are required.

When a property is of a required property type, it is considered invalid if its value (in a complex instance) is null or, in the case of a list property type, it has zero elements.

Note that this attribute is taken together with the countMin attribute to determine the effective element count range of a property type.

The label of the property 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 default label of a root property type is a capitalization of its name.

Source: doc-js/pentaho/type/spec/IPropertyType.jsdoc, line 88

Overrides: pentaho.type.spec.IType#label

The name of the property type.

The name of a property type identifies it within its declaring type.

When it is a non-Nully and non-String value, the value is first replaced by the result of calling its toString method.

When the specified name is the name of an inherited property, this property specification overrides the inherited property.

When the specified name is the name of an existing local property, this property specification configures the existing property.

The alias for the name of the property type.

The alias of a property type is an alternative name for serialization purposes.

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.

The identifier of the value type's source AMD module, or null.

An empty string or undefined value is interpreted as null.

When unspecified or null, it defaults to id.

The CSS class associated with the type.

This attribute is typically used to associate an icon with a type.

When null or an empty string, the attribute value is set to null.

When unspecified, or undefined, the attribute value defaults to the type's id, in snake-case, if it has one; or, null, if not.

Inherited From: pentaho.type.spec.IType#styleClass

The type of value that properties of this type can hold.

If the value type is a list type, then this property will be a list (or multiple-elements) property, otherwise, this property will be an element (or single-element) property.

When unspecified and name is that of an existing or inherited property type, the local or inherited value type is used.

When unspecified and name defines a new, root property, the default value type is pentaho/type/String.

Cannot be a Nully value.

When specified, the value is a spec.TypeReference and is first resolved using ILoader#resolveType.

The resolved value type must be a subtype of the attribute's current (local or inherited) value type.
