Object initialization, setting all the default values.
OptionalnewData: anythe data to load, optional
Optionaloptions: anycustom options to apply; they will depend on the child resource
Usually, there is no need to implement the constructor; implicitly, it will call the load of the child resource
and therefore loading all the resources with default values.
If needed, this is the suggested implementation:
super();
this.load(x);
// ...
Object containg attributes of type CustomSectionMeta; e.g. ´´´ fields.flowers: CustomSectionMeta; fields.burgers: CustomSectionMeta; ...
Ordered list of the sections (names) to expect in the block.
Example: ['flowers', 'burgers', ...].
Return an attribute in a cleaned standard that force-cast the element.
the origin attribute, to cast
the cast function, e.g. Boolean, Number, String, x => new CustomClass(x), etc.
OptionaldefaultVal: anyif set, the fallback value instead of null
cleaned attribute
Return an array in a cleaned standard that force-cast each element, keeping only the valid ones.
the origin array, to cast and check
the cast function, e.g. x => String(x) or x => new CustomClass(x)
OptionaldefaultVal: anyif set, the fallback value instead of null
cleaned array
Shortcut to Utils.isEmpty to check the emptiness of a field.
Optionaltype: isEmptyFieldTypesLoad the attributes from an already existing resource.
Load the values of the specified sections.
the values to set in the sections
Load the attributes from an already existing resource and then force some attributes to assume safeData values. The function is usually used in the back-end to mix together db data with new data, without the risk of changing ids and other attributes which are managed in appositely curated scenario.
the data to load
the attributes to force to specific values
Optionaloptions: anycustom options to apply; they will depend on the child resource
Typical implementation:
super.safeLoad(newData, safeData);
this.keyAttr = safeData.keyAttr;
this.importantAttr = safeData.importantAttr;
this.isDraft = safeData.isDraft;
// ...
Note well: there is no need to call this.load(), since it's implicitly called from super.safeLoad(),
which will anyway use the child version of the method.
Set the default values of the specified sections.
Valide the object's attributes, performing all the checkings.
errors if empty, the checkings are successfully passed.
Typical implementation:
const e = super.validate();
if(this.iE(this.attr)) e.push(`attr`);
// ...
return e;
Validate the sections and return an array with errors, if any.
An abstract class to inherit to manage a resource model.
