Method Detail

getSuperTypes

String[] getSuperTypes(String typeName)

Gets the super type names for the given type.

Returns:

an array of supertypes or an empty array if no supertype exists. null is returned if no such type exists

getTypes

Collection<Type> getTypes()

Returns all the registered Types.

getType

Type getType(String typeName)

Returns the Type instance for the given typeName.

hasType

boolean hasType(String typeName)

Returns true if typeName is a registered Type, false otherwise.

getAllowedSubTypes

Collection<Type> getAllowedSubTypes(String typeName)

getAllowedSubTypes

Collection<Type> getAllowedSubTypes(String typeName,
                                    DocumentModel currentDoc)

Returns the allowed sub types of the given typeName, filtered by a local UI types configuration retrieved from the currentDoc, if any.

Since:

5.4.2

findAllAllowedSubTypesFrom

Collection<Type> findAllAllowedSubTypesFrom(String typeName)

Returns recursively all the allowed sub types from the given typeName.

Since:

5.4.2

findAllAllowedSubTypesFrom

Collection<Type> findAllAllowedSubTypesFrom(String typeName,
                                            DocumentModel currentDoc)

Returns recursively all the allowed sub types from the given typeName, filtered by a local UI types configuration retrieved from the currentDoc, if any.

Since:

5.4.2

getTypeMapForDocumentType

Map<String,List<Type>> getTypeMapForDocumentType(String typeName,
                                                 DocumentModel currentDoc)

Returns the sub type of the given typeName, filtered by a local UI types configuration retrieved from the currentDoc, if any, and organized by type categories.

Since:

5.4.2

canCreate

boolean canCreate(String typeName,
                  String containerTypeName)

Returns true if typeName is a sub type, allowed in creation mode, of containerTypeName, false otherwise.

Since:

5.4.2

canCreate

boolean canCreate(String typeName,
                  String containerTypeName,
                  DocumentModel currentDoc)

Returns true if typeName is a sub type, allowed in creation, of containerTypeName, false otherwise.

It takes care of a local UI types configuration retrieved from the currentDoc to filter the sub types of typeName before checking the creation mode.

Since:

5.4.2

isAllowedSubType

boolean isAllowedSubType(String typeName,
                         String containerTypeName)

Returns true if typeName is an allowed sub type of containerTypeName, false otherwise.

Since:

5.4.2

isAllowedSubType

boolean isAllowedSubType(String typeName,
                         String containerTypeName,
                         DocumentModel currentDoc)

Returns true if typeName is an allowed sub type of containerTypeName, filtered by a local UI types configuration retrieved from the currentDoc, if any, false otherwise.

Since:

5.4.2
