Element Detail

lookupDisplayProperty

public abstract String lookupDisplayProperty

Optional - only required if the display property is other than "name"

Specify the property on a lookup class that should be used as the value to display to the user in a form in the admin tool UI

Returns:

the property on the lookup class containing the displayable value

Default:

""

customCriteria

public abstract String[] customCriteria

Optional - only required if you need to specially handle crud operations for this specific collection on the server

Custom string values that will be passed to the server during Read and Inspect operations on the entity lookup. This allows for the creation of a custom persistence handler to handle both inspect and fetch phase operations. Presumably, one could use this to somehow filter the list of records shown when the user interacts with the lookup widget in the admin UI.

Returns:

the custom string array to pass to the server during CRUD operations

Default:

{}

useServerSideInspectionCache

public abstract boolean useServerSideInspectionCache

Optional - only required if you want to make the field ignore caching

Explicitly specify whether or not this field will use server-side caching during inspection

Returns:

whether or not this field uses caching

Default:

true

lookupType

public abstract LookupType lookupType

Optional - only required if you want to configure the lookup to be driven by a prepopulated dropdown instead of the standard lookup type, which is modal based.

Define whether or not the lookup type for this field should be handled through a modal or through a dropdown

Returns:

the item is looked up via a modal or dropdown

Default:

org.broadleafcommerce.common.presentation.client.LookupType.STANDARD

forcePopulateChildProperties

public abstract boolean forcePopulateChildProperties

Optional - by setting this value to true, the admin will identify the properties that are inside the target of this to-one field.

Typically, this is done if you want to expose a certain field as an AdminPresentationToOneLookup but also allow filtering on a property that resides inside of the target of this lookup.

Returns:

whether or not to force population of the child properties

Default:

false
