Easy Type

Easy type is the component of Easy Extension Framework that enables creating new types or enhancing existing types in SAP Commerce Cloud. This document describes the processes for creating or modifying Easy types in an Easy Extension.

Supported Easy Types

Following types are supported in Easy Extension Framework:

The Easy Type Manifest

An Easy extension contains the Easy type in its manifest file named as easytypes.json. The structure of easytypes.json is inspired from the items.xml configuration file in SAP Commerce Cloud extension framework.

The structure of easytypes.json is as described below:

{
    "collectiontypes" : [ 
        {
        }
    ],
    "enumtypes" : [
        { 
        }
    ],
    "maptypes" : [
        { 
        }
    ],
    "relations" : [
        { 
        }
    ],
    "itemtypes" : [
        {
        }
    ]
}

Once you have defined or modified easytypes.json in your Easy extension, you need to install the extension to deploy your changes.

Backoffice Configurations for Easy Types

The Backoffice requires few adjustments to support the Easy types. To make sure that you are able to define the Backoffice configurations for your Easy types, configure the backoffice configurations for your Easy type as explained at Easy Backoffice Configuration
