Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
default <C> B	configuration(ConfigProperty<C> configurationProperty, C value) Add a property configuration parameter using a ConfigProperty, with ConfigProperty.getKey() as parameter name.
B	configuration(String parameterName, Object value) Add a property configuration parameter
<MODEL> B	converter(Class<MODEL> modelType, Function<MODEL,T> fromModel, Function<T,MODEL> toModel) Create a PropertyValueConverter for given modelType using given conversion Functions: the fromModel function to convert a model type value into property value type, and the toModel function to perform the inverse operation, i.e. convert the property value type into model type.
B	converter(PropertyValueConverter<T,?> converter) Sets the PropertyValueConverter.
B	localization(Localizable localizable) Set the property localization using given Localizable definition.
B	temporalType(TemporalType temporalType) Set the optional TemporalType specification for Date or Calendar type properties, which can be used to perform consistent operations on property value, such as presentation, rendering or persistence data manipulation.
B	validator(Validator<T> validator) Add a property value Validator

Method Detail

localization

B localization(Localizable localizable)

Set the property localization using given Localizable definition.

Parameters:

localizable - The localizable to use to obtain property localization attributes (not null)

Returns:

this

configuration

B configuration(String parameterName,
                Object value)

Add a property configuration parameter

Parameters:

parameterName - Parameter name to add to property configuration (not null)

value - Configuration parameter value

Returns:

this

configuration

default <C> B configuration(ConfigProperty<C> configurationProperty,
                            C value)

Add a property configuration parameter using a ConfigProperty, with ConfigProperty.getKey() as parameter name.

Type Parameters:

C - Config property type

Parameters:

configurationProperty - ConfigProperty to add to property configuration (not null)

value - Configuration parameter value

Returns:

this

temporalType

B temporalType(TemporalType temporalType)

Set the optional TemporalType specification for Date or Calendar type properties, which can be used to perform consistent operations on property value, such as presentation, rendering or persistence data manipulation.

Parameters:

temporalType - the property TemporalType to set

Returns:

this

converter

B converter(PropertyValueConverter<T,?> converter)

Sets the PropertyValueConverter.

Parameters:

converter - The converter to set

Returns:

this

converter

<MODEL> B converter(Class<MODEL> modelType,
                    Function<MODEL,T> fromModel,
                    Function<T,MODEL> toModel)

Create a PropertyValueConverter for given modelType using given conversion Functions: the fromModel function to convert a model type value into property value type, and the toModel function to perform the inverse operation, i.e. convert the property value type into model type. Then set this converter as PropertyValueConverter for the property.

Type Parameters:

MODEL - Model type

Parameters:

modelType - Model type class (not null)

fromModel - Function to convert a model type value into property value type (not null)

toModel - Function to convert a property value type value into model type (not null)

Returns:

this

validator

B validator(Validator<T> validator)

Add a property value Validator

Parameters:

validator - Validator to add (not null)

Returns:

this
