Interface FilterLiteralInterface

The FilterLiteralInterface interface is a FilterItemInterface to elect part instances that have at least one document whose set of metadata matches a string query.

The FilterLiteralInterface defines a string query (literal) written in the 3djuump infinite literal and search query language.

e.g. : :PartNumber == "part0" and :toBeRedesigned==true finds documents that have the metadata PartNumber equal to "part0" and the metadata toBeRedesigned equal to true. If any document matches, then the part instances linked to these documents are elected. The FilterLiteralInterface DOES NOT work on the joined attribute set.

The FilterLiteralInterface has an empty query string as default, which is illegal.

The FilterLiteralInterface interface is created through the createLiteralFilter.

The FilterLiteralInterface has the type FT_LITERAL (getFilterType).

The FilterLiteralInterface has a depth contribution of 1.

/** 
* Sample to illustrate how to use a FilterLiteralInterface.

} from 'generated/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// the DataSessionInterface has been created previously and is connected
let lDataSession : DataSessionInterface;
// the query string to set
const lQueryString : string = ':PartNumber == "part0" and :toBeRedesigned==true';

// create the resolution chain :
// create a filtering context "unconfigured"
// first create ConfContextInterface "unconfigured"
const lConfCtx : ConfContextInterface = lDataSession.createConfContext();
// and create the filtering context and bind it to the unconfigured ConfContextInterface
const lConfVisibilityCtx: VisibilityContextInterface = lDataSession.createVisibilityContext();
lConfVisibilityCtx.setConfContext(lConfCtx);

// create a Filter Solver
const lFilterSolver : FilterSolverInterface = lDataSession.createFilterSolver();

// create a `has attribute` filter
const lLiteralFilter : FilterLiteralInterface = lDataSession.createLiteralFilter();
// useless, FilterOperator.FO_UNION is the default operator when creating a new filter
// lLiteralFilter.setFilterOperator(FilterOperator.FO_UNION);
// set the attribute name that we want to use,
lLiteralFilter.setLiteralQuery(lQueryString);

// and add the filters
// push back (-1) the `has attribute` filter
lFilterSolver.insertFilter(-1, lLiteralFilter);

// set the conf context to use => unconfigured for this example
lFilterSolver.setVisibilityContext(lConfVisibilityCtx);

// and tell the DataSessionInterface to update the modified ConfContextInterface, VisibilityContextInterface and FilterSolverInterfaces
lDataSession.update();

Methods

  • Adds a listener to an event type.

    When an event of the type pType fires, the callback pListener will be called. This function returns a unique string id that may be used in removeEventListenerById to allow simple listener removal. It is possible to add an object that will be included in the callback to avoid creating too many closures.

    Returns

    The id of the inserted callback (actually an UUID).

    Parameters

    • pType: string
      in
      The type of the event pListener will be called upon.
    • pListener: tListenerCallback
      in
      The listener function that fires when the given event type occurs.
    • pObject: undefined | Object
      in
      The optional object the callback will be called with when the given event fires.

    Returns string

  • Adds a listener to an event type.

    When an event of the type pType fires, the callback pListener will be called. This function returns a unique string id that may be used in removeEventListenerById to allow simple listener removal.

    Returns

    The id of the inserted callback (actually an UUID).

    Parameters

    • pType: string
      in
      The type of the event pListener will be called upon.
    • pListener: tListenerCallback
      in
      The listener function that fires when the given event type occurs.

    Returns string

  • Gets the depth contribution of the FilterItemInterface.

    This value is usually one.

    Returns

    The depth contribution of the FilterItemInterface.

    Returns number

  • Gets a deep copy of the internal data of the FilterItemInterface.

    Returns

    The internal FilterItemInterface data.

    Returns any

  • Gets the identifier of the FilterItemInterface.

    Returns

    The identifier of the FilterItemInterface.

    Returns string

  • Gets the query string that was previously set by setLiteralQuery.

    Returns

    The last query string.

    Returns string

  • Tells if the EventDispatcher has such a callback registered for the given event type.

    Returns

    true if such a listener is installed for the given type of event.

    Parameters

    • pType: string
      in
      The type of the event to test.
    • pListener: tListenerCallback
      in
      The listener function that gets tested.

    Returns boolean

  • Tells if this object has been gotten rid off.

    Returns

    true if dispose has been called on this object.

    Returns boolean

  • Tells if the FilterItemInterface is enabled.

    If disabled, this FilterItemInterface is completely ignored during all the computations (the behavior is the same as if it had not been created).

    A FilterItemInterface is enabled by default.

    Returns

    true if the FilterItemInterface is enabled.

    Returns boolean

  • Tells if the FilterItemInterface is "inverted".

    When "inverted", a FilterItemInterface elects all the part instances that were not selected if it was not inverted.

    A FilterItemInterface is not "inverted" by default.

    Returns

    true if such a FilterItemInterface is "inverted".

    Returns boolean

  • Removes a listener from an event type.

    If no such listener is found, then the function returns false and does nothing. You must use the exact parameters that were used in addEventListener to actually remove the listener.

    Returns

    true if the callback was removed else false.

    Parameters

    • pType: string
      in
      The type of the listener that gets removed.
    • pListener: tListenerCallback

      The listener function that gets removed.

    • pObject: undefined | Object

      The listener object that was used when addEventListener was called.

    Returns boolean

  • Removes a listener from an event type.

    If no such listener is found, then the function returns false and does nothing. You must use the exact parameters that were used in addEventListener to actually remove the listener.

    Returns

    true if the callback was removed else false.

    Parameters

    • pType: string
      in
      The type of the listener that gets removed.
    • pListener: tListenerCallback

      The listener function that gets removed.

    Returns boolean

  • Removes a listener by its id.

    If no such listener is found, then the function returns false and does nothing. You must use the return value of addEventListener to actually remove the listener.

    Returns

    true if the callback was removed else false.

    Parameters

    • pId: string
      in
      The id returned by the call to [addEventListener](FilterLiteralInterface.html#addEventListener) that you want to remove.

    Returns boolean

  • Sets the FilterItemInterface enabled/disabled status.

    If disabled, this FilterItemInterface is completely ignored during all the computations (the behavior is the same as if it had not been created). Use addEventListener on the event FilterEnabledChanged to know when the FilterItemInterface has changed its enabled status.

    A FilterItemInterface is enabled by default.

    Parameters

    • pEnabled: boolean
      in
      If true, the given FilterItemInterface is enabled.

    Returns void

  • Sets the content of the FilterItemInterface from a former call to getFilterData.

    Use addEventListener on the event FilterDataChanged to know when the FilterItemInterface internal data changed.

    Returns

    true if the data is set.

    Parameters

    • pFilterData: any
      in
      Internal FilterItemInterface data to set.

    Returns boolean

  • Sets the identifier of the FilterItemInterface. Make sure the id is unique. A unique FilterItemInterface identifier is created if the identifier is not overridden.

    Parameters

    • pFilterId: string
      in
      The new identifier of the FilterItemInterface.

    Returns void

  • Sets the "inverted" status of the FilterItemInterface.

    When "inverted", a FilterItemInterface elects all the part instances that were not selected if it was not inverted. Use addEventListener on the event FilterInvertedChanged to know when the FilterItemInterface has changed its "inverted" status.

    A FilterItemInterface is not "inverted" by default.

    Parameters

    • pInverted: boolean
      in
      If true, such a FilterItemInterface will be "inverted".

    Returns void

  • Sets the query string in the 3djuump infinite literal and search query language.

    If the string value if the same as before, nothing is done.
    Use addEventListener on the event FilterDataChanged to know when the FilterLiteralInterface data changed.

    The FilterLiteralInterface has an empty query string as default, which is illegal.

    Parameters
