Class ComplexTypeField<EntityT, ComplexT, NullableT, SelectableT> Abstract

Represents a complex type property of an entity or a complex type.

ComplexTypeFields are used as static properties of entities and are generated from the metadata, i.e. for each property of an OData entity, that has a complex type, there exists one static instance of ComplexTypeField (or rather one of its subclasses) in the corresponding generated class file. ComplexTypeFields are used to represent the domain of complex or custom structures that can be used in select, filter and order by functions. For example, when constructing a query on the TimeSheetEntry entity, an instance of ComplexTypeField<TimeSheetEntry> can be supplied as argument to the select function, e.g. TimeSheetEntry.TIME_SHEET_DATA_FIELDS. Moreover, classes implementing this abstract class will provide property fields, that can be used for filtering and ordering.

  • ComplexT = any

    Type of complex type represented by this field.

  • NullableT: boolean = false

    Boolean type that represents whether the field is nullable.

  • SelectableT: boolean = false
