Interface: MetadataFormulaObjectResultType¶
Defined in: api.ts:1784
The return type for a metadata formula that should return a different display to the user than is used internally.
Properties¶
display¶
display:
string
Defined in: api.ts:1786
The value displayed to the user in the UI.
hasChildren?¶
optionalhasChildren:boolean
Defined in: api.ts:1817
If true, indicates that this result has child results nested underneath it. This option only applies to DynamicSyncTableOptions.listDynamicUrls. When fetching options for entities that can be used as dynamic URLs for a dynamic sync table, some APIs may return data in a hierarchy rather than a flat list of options.
For example, if your dynamic sync table synced data from a Google Drive file,
you might return a list of folders, and then a user could click on a folder
to view the files within it. When returning folder results, you would set
hasChildren: true on them, but omit that on the file results.
Leaf nodes, that is those without hasChildren: true, are ultimately selectable
to create a table. Selecting a result with hasChildren: true will invoke
listDynamicUrls again with value as the second argument.
That is, your dynamic sync table definition might include:
listDynamicUrls: async function(context, parentValue) {
...
}
parentValue will be undefined the initial time that listDynamicUrls
is invoked, but if you return a result with hasChildren: true and the user
clicks on it, listDynamicUrls will be invoked again, with parentValue
as the value of the result that was clicked on.
value¶
value:
string|number
Defined in: api.ts:1788
The value used for the formula argument when the user selects this option.
