CodeType with codes from the database [message #787448]

Is there an example on how to use codeTypes when the codes should be loaded from the database.

My database has a table Status that is used for Appointments. On my planning form i need these statusus. A status has an id (which is in the Appoinment)a name, a code, and a color. So the idea is to load all this information into a AppointmentStatusCodeType.

When an appointment is presented I want to use the AppointmentStatusCodeType for the persentation and make it possible to use change the status of an appointment.

Regards Bertin

Overide execLoadCodes() in your CodeTypeClass.
This functions need to return an array of CodeRow.
Have a look at the different CodeRow constructor and/or setter that are available.

You can do a DB Call as usual with SQL.select(..) or SQL.selectInto(..)

How can I use the codes when I implemented the method execLoadCodes(). How to get the codeType and how can I get the individual codes then. I expected some static method getCodeById.

So when I have a Calendar, an appointment only has aStatus id. I then have to get the rest of the info through the codeType.

Having a dynamic CodeType (loaded from execLoadCodes()) or a static CodeType (with Codes as inner-class of the code Type - YesOrNoCodeType for example) do not change how you use the code type.

Under Using a CodeType of the CodeType page you will find some examples.

You can access the CodeType instance with:

StatusCodeType statuses = CODES.getCodeType(StatusCodeType.class);

After that if you want to access a code, with its id.

ICode code = statuses.getCode(id);

Do not forget to check if code is not null...

CodeType are often used with SmartField (or smart columns). In a such case the value of the field (or of the column for a row) is the id.

I did not know this one : "StatusCodeType statuses = CODES.getCodeType(StatusCodeType.class);"

Thanks, it works now

This "CODES.getCodeType(StatusCodeType.class);" syntax seems to have been dropped from newer versions of scout (I currently have Eclipse 2020-06). You can say "CODES.getCodeTypes(StatusCodeType.class)", but that returns an untyped list. So to get an instance of a code using the value, I have to do this:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
ICodeType<Long, Long> ct = (ICodeType<Long, Long>) CODES.getCodeTypes(VisibleScopeCodeType.class).get(0);
ICode<Long> code = ct.getCode(searchFormData.getVisibileScope().getValue());

Is there a way to get a typed CodeType instance?

<edit>
Ah, I found it.

BEANS.get(StatusCodeType.class)
