[[RelationshipField]] are represented using a custom data type.

Hierarchy

Constructors

Methods

  • An object of alternate ids for this object, with values as [[AltId]]

    Returns {
        [name: string]: AltId<T>;
    }

    Example

    // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
    const warningMessage = baseObject.altIdsObject().FID.value().includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';
  • An object of alternate ids for this object, with values as strings

    Returns {
        [name: string]: string;
    }

    • [name: string]: string

    Example

    // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
    const warningMessage = baseObject.altIds().FID.includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';
  • An array of alternate ids for this object.

    Returns EList<RelationshipField>

    Example

    // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
    const warningMessage = baseObject.altIds().FID.includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';
  • Same as calling optAncestor(var).orElse(null)

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • classType: string | number

    Returns B

  • If this object is a Collection it returns it as an array. The majority of objects in the system are Collections. For most objects, this is the same as calling [[children]].

    Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

    Example

    const ids = obj.asArray().map(ob => ob);
    
  • An array of [[RelationshipFormEntry]] containing the list of options have become newly selected or unselected as part of the current edit. This field is of the same type as the options field, but contains a different list of options. Note, that the changed values will usually be in either the selected or original option lists, but those list also contain options that have not been changed. Namely, options which are in both the selected and original lists, will probably not be in the changed list...that is unless they have been deselected then reselected. A similar condition can occur for options that have been selected then deselected

    Returns EList<RelationshipFormEntry>

  • Get the children of the object. This retrieval goes one level deep.

    Parameters

    • Optional classType: string | number

    Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

    Example

    const childrenNames = obj.children().map(child => child.displayName());
    
  • Sets all options to unchecked. A convenience method for setAll(false).

    Returns void

  • The "created at" timestamp of this object.

    Returns Instant

    Example

    const createdAt = `<div class="created-at">${baseObject.created()}</div>`;
    
  • The creator of this object.

    Returns User

    Example

    alert(`Guess who created this. It was ${baseObject.creator().fullName()}. They are to blame.`);
    
  • Returns a delete URL for this object, else a blank string. Following the URL will delete the object, so proceed with caution.

    Returns string

    Example

    const deleteBtn = `<button data-href="${baseObject.deleteUrl()}">Go to ${baseObject.displayName()}</button>;
    
  • The deleted children of this object. Only looks one level deep. E.g. a form's deleted children could include fields and form entries. A folder's deleted children could include folders, forms, and formulas, but not any of those forms' entries.

    Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

    Example

    const deleted = baseObject.deletedChildren();
    
  • The default display name of this object. For the most part, this is the same as calling toString(), which is the same as inserting the object into a string.

    Returns string

    Example

    The following assumes you have already aggregated a selection of baseObjects into an array

    const displayNames = [];
    for (const o of baseObjects) displayNames.push(o.displayName());
    const namesList = `<ul><li>${displayNames.join('</li><li>')}</li></ul>`;
  • Sets the Display Name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

    Returns void

  • Returns an edit URL for this object, else a blank string.

    Returns string

    Example

    const editBtn = `<button data-href="${baseObject.editUrl()}">Go to ${baseObject}</button>`;
    
  • Returns this field's [[FormMetaData]] object.

    Returns FormMetaData

    Example

    const form = firstName.form();
    const fieldNames = [];
    for (field in form) fieldNames.push(form[field].displayName());
  • The [[Id]] of this object bounded to T.

    Returns Id<RelationshipField>

    Example


    const displayDiv = `<div class="object-card" id="${baseObject.id()}">
    <div class="title">${baseObject}</div>
    <div class="body">Hello World!</div>
    </div>;
  • Returns whether the object is locked or not.

    Returns boolean

    Deprecated

    Part of the [[Lock]] API.

    Example

    const isLocked = baseObject.isLocked();
    
  • Returns whether the object is pending a lock or not.

    Returns boolean

    Deprecated

    Part of the [[Lock]] API.

    Example

    const isPendingLock = baseObject.isPendingLock();
    
  • Returns whether the object is pending an unlock or not.

    Returns boolean

    Deprecated

    Part of the [[Lock]] API.

    Example

    const lockPendingUnlock = baseObject.isPendingUnLock();
    
  • This function checks if entry is selected, given the id of the entry. The result of this function is a optional boolean value indicating one of three things: A value of true means the id is selected; a value of false means it is not selected; a value of empty means there is a configuration problem such as [[isSelected]] being called on an empty object or the id is not a potential selection.

    Returns boolean

  • Method indicates whether the current entry is valid to be a part of a relationship. If the current entry is not valid, then 'options' will always be empty since there will be no entries which can form a fully valid relationship with this record.

    Returns boolean

  • Returns whether the field is writable

    Returns boolean

    Example

    const firstNameClass = firstName.isWritable() ? 'active' : 'inactive';
    
  • Same as calling optLock().orElse(null)

    Returns Lock

  • Parameters

    explore example
    [[Java.Optional.ifPresent]]
  • An array of [[RelationshipFormEntry]] containing the list options that were selected at the beginning of the current edit. This field is of the same type as the options field, but contains a different list of options. Note, that the formerly selected values may not be currently valid, and therefore may not be in the options list. Also, the originally selected items may or may not be currently selected.

    Returns EList<RelationshipFormEntry>

  • Same as calling optParent(var).orElse(null)

    Returns void

  • An array of [[RelationshipFormEntry]] containing the list options that are currently selected. This field is of the same type as the options field, but contains a different list of options. Note, that the currently selected values may not be currently valid, and therefore may not be in the list.

    Returns EList<RelationshipFormEntry>

  • Sets or clears the relationship to another entry, given the id of the entry. It is only available when the relationship field is editable. Returns true if successful. A retrurn of false means it was unsuccessful because, for instance, the id doesn't belong to the target form.
