A subclass of EmbeddedDataField which supports a single embedded Document.

Hierarchy (view full)

Constructors

Properties

model: typeof DataModel

The base DataModel definition which is contained in this field.

fields: DataSchema

The contained field definitions.

unknownKeys: string[]

Any unknown keys encountered during the last cleaning.

name: string

The field name of this DataField instance. This is assigned by SchemaField#initialize.

parent: DataField

A reference to the parent schema to which this DataField belongs. This is assigned by SchemaField#initialize.

The initially provided options which configure the data field

hierarchical: boolean = true
recursive: boolean = true

Accessors

  • get fieldPath(): string
  • A dot-separated string representation of the field path within the parent schema.

    Returns string

  • get _defaults(): object
  • Default parameters for this field type

    Returns object

  • get hasFormSupport(): boolean
  • Does this form field class have defined form support?

    Returns boolean

Methods

  • Return the embedded document(s) as a Collection.

    Parameters

    • parent: Document

      The parent document.

    Returns Collection<Document>

  • Coerce source data to ensure that it conforms to the correct data type for the field. Data coercion operations should be simple and synchronous as these are applied whenever a DataModel is constructed. For one-off cleaning of user-provided input the sanitize method should be used.

    Parameters

    • value: any

      The initial value

    • options: any

      Additional options for how the field is cleaned

    Returns any

    The cast value

  • Validate a candidate input for this field, ensuring it meets the field requirements. A validation failure can be provided as a raised Error (with a string message), by returning false, or by returning a DataModelValidationFailure instance. A validator which returns true denotes that the result is certainly valid and further validations are unnecessary.

    Parameters

    • value: any

      The initial value

    • options: any

      Options which affect validation behavior

    Returns DataModelValidationFailure

    Returns a DataModelValidationFailure if a validation failure occurred.

  • An array of field names which are present in the schema.

    Returns string[]

  • Test whether a certain field name belongs to this schema definition.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The field name

    Returns boolean

    Does the named field exist in this schema?

  • Get a DataField instance from the schema by name

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The field name

    Returns DataField

    The DataField instance or undefined

  • Traverse the schema, obtaining the DataField definition for a particular field.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string | string[]

      A field path like ["abilities", "strength"] or "abilities.strength"

    Returns SchemaField | DataField

    The corresponding DataField definition for that field, or undefined

  • Apply any cleaning logic specific to this DataField type.

    Parameters

    • data: any

      The appropriately coerced value.

    • options: {} = {}

      Additional options for how the field is cleaned.

      Returns any

      The cleaned value.

    • Parameters

      • fn: any
      • data: {} = {}
        • options: {} = {}

          Returns {}

          • Iterate over a SchemaField by iterating over its fields.

            Returns Generator<any, void, unknown>

          • Attempt to retrieve a valid initial value for the DataField.

            Parameters

            • data: object

              The source data object for which an initial value is required

            Returns any

            A valid initial value

            Throws

            An error if there is no valid initial value defined

            Throws

            An Error if this DataField subclass does not support input rendering

          • Render this DataField as a standardized form-group element.

            Parameters

            • groupConfig: FormGroupConfig = {}

              Configuration options passed to the wrapping form-group
