To work with the methods in this API for which usage examples are listed below, import the following Groovy class:
import com.servicemax.core.utils.Definitions;
Get a Namespace Definition
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityNamespaceDefinition namespace = Definitions.getNamespace('io')
Get a Namespace Name
namespace.getFieldValue("io_name")
Get Object Definition With Fields, or Get Field and Associated Data Type
To retrieve the Account object:
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityManagerDefinition objectDefinition = Definitions.getObjectDefinition('core_account')
Retrieve All Fields From Object Definition as a Collection
Collection<com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition> listOfFields = objectDefinition.getFieldDefinitions()
Retrieve All Fields for core_account Directly From Definitions Class
Collection<com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition> fieldsDefinitions = Definitions.getFieldDefinition('core_account');
Get Fields List Size
listOfFields.size()
Get Account’s Description Field From objectDefinition
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition descripField = objectDefinition.getFieldDefinition('io_description')
Get Account Object’s Description Field Directly From Definitions Class
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition descripField = Definitions.getFieldDefinition('core_account','io_description')
Get Description Field’s Data Type From the Field
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityDatatypeDefinition datatypeOfDescriptionField = descripField.getDatatype()
Get Description Field’s Data Type Directly From Definitions Class
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityDatatypeDefinition datatypeOfDescriptionField = Definitions.getDatatype('io_account', 'io_description')
Get Specified Relationship
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityRelationshipDefinition relationshipToUser = Definitions.getRelationship("io_fields")
Get Option List Field for Specified Object (Showcase)
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition showcasePicklistField = Definitions.getFieldDefinition('io_showcase','io_showcase_option_list')
Get Options for Specified Option List (Showcase Object)
List<com.intalio.core.data.api.IOption> options = Definitions.getActiveOptions('io_showcase','io_showcase_option_list')
Get Field Options for Specified Field (Showcase Number)
com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldDefinition showcaseNumberField = Definitions.getFieldDefinition('io_showcase', 'io_showcase_number')
Get Field Options for Specified Field (showcaseNumberField) From fieldDefinition
Collection<com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldOptionDefinition> fieldOptionsOfShowcaseNumberField = showcaseNumberField.getOptions()
Get Field Options for a Specified Field (showcaseNumberField) Directly From Definitions Class
Collection<com.intalio.core.seed.api.IEntityFieldOptionDefinition> fieldOptionsOfShowcaseNumberField = Definitions.getFieldOptions('io_showcase','io_showcase_number')
