Method Details

addAttribute

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
IMapValueDescriptorBuilder<V> addAttribute(String key,
 Object value)

Description copied from interface: IValueDescriptorBuilder

Adds a custom attribute to the value descriptor. This can be used to store additional metadata about the value that is not covered by the standard properties of the descriptor. The exact meaning of the attributes depends on the context in which the descriptor is used.

See StandardValueDescriptorAttributes for some standard attribute keys and values you can use.

Specified by:

addAttribute in interface IValueDescriptorBuilder<Map<String,V>, IMapValueBuilder<V>, IMapValueDescriptor<V>>

Parameters:

key - The attribute key.

value - The attribute value.

Returns:

This builder instance for chaining method calls.

defaultValue

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
IMapValueDescriptorBuilder<V> defaultValue(String key,
 IValueCreator creator)

Sets the default value for the element at the given key. The default value is taken from the map element value descriptor when no explicit default is provided.

Parameters:

key - Key in the map.

creator - Value creator for the value to use for the value at the given key as the default when creating a map value.

Returns:

This descriptor builder for chaining method calls.

defaultValue

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
default IMapValueDescriptorBuilder<V> defaultValue(String key,
 Object value)

Sets the default value for the element at the given key. The default value is taken from the map element value descriptor when no explicit default is provided.

Parameters:

key - Key in the map.

value - Value to use for the value at the given key as the default when creating a map value.

Returns:

This descriptor builder for chaining method calls.

description

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@Deprecated
IMapValueDescriptorBuilder<V> description(String description)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: IValueDescriptorBuilder

Sets the description for the value. This description can be used in UIs to provide additional information about the value to users. It can be either a localized message or an I18N key that will be resolved at runtime.

Specified by:

description in interface IValueDescriptorBuilder<Map<String,V>, IMapValueBuilder<V>, IMapValueDescriptor<V>>

Parameters:

description - The description for the value.

Returns:

This builder instance for chaining method calls.
