Members

static, readonly canSuppressRecording :boolean

Returns whether the flow can suppress voice recording or not

readonly availableActions :Array.<ArchBaseAction>

Returns an array of action classes that are available for this flow type. Remember that some action types like ArchActionTask is an action that is only created as the action within an ArchMenuTask menu so do not make the assumption that every action returned here is directly creatable as a free standing action.

readonly availableDataTypes :Array.<ArchDataType>

Returns an array of data type classes that are available for this flow type.

readonly availableLanguages :Array.<ArchLanguage>

Returns an array of ArchLanguage instances that are valid for use as a supported language for this flow type. If the flow type does not support languages, nothing is returned.

readonly availableMenus :Array.<ArchBaseMenu>

Returns an array of menu classes that are available for this flow type.

readonly availablePromptMediaTypes :Array.<string>

Returns an array of prompt media type string values that are available for this flow type. ArchEnums#PROMPT_MEDIA_TYPES list valid values that can be returned in the array. If no prompt media types are available for a flow type because the flow doesn't support prompts, an empty array is returned. Remember too that at the definition level for a common module we'll report that all prompt media types are available minus text which is currently reserved but until you have consuming flow types defined on a common module that's when it has context to know if specific prompt media types are available.

readonly canCreateFromDefinition :boolean

Returns whether or not flow instances can be created in memory using create methods from ArchFactoryFlows such as ArchFactoryFlows#createFlowFromDefinitionAsync or ArchFactoryFlows#createFlowInboundCallAsync. Even though this property may return true, using operations such as ArchBaseFlow#saveAsync or ArchBaseFlow#createAsync may still fail if the flow definition does not support being created within the cloud. The ArchDefinitionFlow#isCreatable property will return whether a flow type is creatable in the cloud.

See:

• ArchFactoryFlows.createFlowFromDefinitionAsync

readonly displayTypeName :string

Returns the display type name string 'ArchDefinitionFlow'.

readonly fileExtension :string

Returns the file extension for this flow type that's used when exporting a flow of this type to an Architect format export file.

readonly isArchBaseCoreObject :boolean

Returns true indicating that this is an ArchBaseCoreObject instance.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseCoreObject#isArchBaseCoreObject

readonly isArchBaseDefinition :boolean

Returns true indicating that this is an ArchBaseDefinition instance.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseDefinition#isArchBaseDefinition

readonly isArchDefinitionFlow :boolean

Returns true indicating that this is an ArchDefinitionFlow instance.

readonly isAvailable :boolean

Returns whether or not the flow type is available for use.

readonly isCommonModuleCompatibleFlowType :boolean

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this flow type can be used as a compatible flow type for the compatible flow types configured on a common module flow.

See:

• ArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow#addCompatibleFlowType

readonly isCreatable :boolean

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not new instances of this flow type can be created in the cloud. You can still use ArchFactoryFlows to create flows in memory and when accessing the isCreated property, it will return false. These flows will not be created in the cloud until calling other operations such as ArchBaseFlow#saveAsync or ArchBaseFlow#publishAsync. Accessing this property.

readonly label :string

Returns the display label for this flow type such as 'Inbound Call Flow'.

readonly languagesSupportDefaultLanguage :boolean

If a flow type supports supported languages, this returns whether or not a default language can be set. Otherwise, false.

readonly languagesSupportDefaultLanguageSkill :boolean

If a flow type supports supported languages, this returns whether or not individual supported languages have a default language skill setting available. Otherwise, false.

readonly languagesSupportSpeechToText :boolean

If a flow type supports supported languages, this returns whether or not individual supported languages can support Speech To Text settings at runtime. Otherwise, false.

readonly languagesSupportTtsAndAsr :boolean

If a flow type supports supported languages, this returns whether or not individual supported languages have text to speech and speech recognition settings available. Otherwise, false.

readonly languagesSupportTtsAndAsrRuntime :boolean

If a flow type supports supported languages, this returns whether or not individual supported languages can support TTS or ASR at runtime. Otherwise, false.

readonly logStr :string

A string suitable for logging that contains information about this definition.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseDefinition#logStr

readonly logStrTypeOnly :string

This is a string suitable for logging information about this object where it's just the object's type. This is normally used when logging errors that occur in constructor parameter checking because the scripting object isn't set up and the normal logging str contents wouldn't be set up.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#logStrTypeOnly

readonly startUpObjectCanBeMenu :boolean

Returns whether or not an ArchMenu instance can be the startup object for the flow type.

readonly startUpObjectCanBeState :boolean

Returns whether or not an ArchState instance can be the startup object for the flow type.

readonly startUpObjectCanBeTask :boolean

Returns whether or not an ArchTask instance can be the startup object for the flow type. Remember, while ArchFlowInQueueCall call flows do not support reusable tasks, the startup object is a repeating task so this will return true for an in-queue call flow definition.

readonly supportsAudio :boolean

Returns whether or not audio is supported for this flow type.

readonly supportsDefaultLanguage :boolean

Returns whether or not this flow type supports default languages.

readonly supportsFlowCreationData :boolean

Returns whether or not flow creation supports passing in creation data.

readonly supportsGrammars :boolean

Returns whether this flow type supports Grammars.

readonly supportsMenusReusable :boolean

Returns whether or not this flow type supports reusable menus.

readonly supportsMoreThanOneSupportedLanguage :boolean

Returns whether this flow type supports the ability to add more than one supported language.

readonly type :string

The flow type string for this flow definition. It will be a string value from ArchEnums#FLOW_TYPES which lists valid flow type strings.

Methods

getSupportsKnowledge(archLanguageopt) → {boolean}

Returns whether or not the flow type for a given language supports knowledge functionality such as knowledge bases. If you do not pass in a specific language to check, this function will check the flow type in general but remember that it's only specific languages that will support knowledge functionality within a given flow type so you'd need to check a language specifically to see if it's supported in a given flow instance. And obviously, if a flow doesn't support supported languages then this function returns false.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
archLanguage	ArchLanguage	<optional>	the language to check to see if knowledge functionality is supported. If no language is specified, this will perform the check against the flow type itself as an overall check to indicate if one or more supported languages support knowledge.

Returns:

boolean

isFilterMatch(archFilterObject) → {boolean}

Returns whether or not this Architect Scripting object is a match for the supplied ArchFilterObject instance.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
archFilterObject	ArchFilterObject	the object filter to use to determine if it's a match.

Returns:

boolean

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#isFilterMatch

logError(errorStr)

Logs an error to the logging service with a log header from this object's logStr property value when ArchLogging#logErrors is true.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
errorStr	string	the error string to log.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#logError

logErrorAndThrow(errorStr)

Logs an error to the logging service with a log header from this object's logStr property value when ArchLogging#logErrors is true and then throws the string in the errorStr parameter.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
errorStr	string	the error string to log. This should be a non-blank string.

Throws:

• Throws the submitted error string.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#logErrorAndThrow

logNote(noteStr)

Logs a note to the logging service with a log header from this object's logStr property value when ArchLogging#logNotes is true.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
noteStr	string	the note string to log. This should be a non-blank string.

Inherited From:

noteStr	string	the note string to log. This should be a non-blank string.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#logNoteVerbose

logWarning(warningStr)

Logs a warning to the logging service with a log header from this object's logStr property value when ArchLogging#logWarnings is true.

Parameters:

warningStr	string	the warning string to log. This should be a non-blank string.

Inherited From:

• ArchBaseObject#logWarning

traverse(callbackFunction, traverseFilteropt) → {number}

This method iterates over this object and ArchBaseCoreObject instances within it. For each object it will call the ArchBaseObject#isFilterMatch method with a filter and call the supplied callback function if isMatch returns true. The callback will be passed an ArchTraverseInfo with details about the match such as the match object itself along with current contextual information such as the object hierarchy for the match object relative to the object on which this traverse call is being made.

The traverse filter is one which you can create by calling ArchFactoryFilters#createFilterObject and then add desired clauses or clause containers to it. If not specified, this function will use a default filter.

Here is an example that does a simple flow traversal using the default filter and logs information about objects in the callback from the traverse object that's passed back:

archInboundCallFlow.traverse(function(traverseInfo) {
   archLogging.logNote('  Object     : ' + traverseInfo.matchObject.logStr);
   archLogging.logNote('    Hierarchy: ' + traverseInfo.context.hierarchyStr);
});

This might be enough for most uses and you can check various aspects about the object in the callback such as "is this an Architect action?" by seeing if traverseInfo.matchObject.isArchBaseAction is true. You can specify a filter for the traversal code to use as well and only have it call your callback when the object's ArchBaseCoreObject#isFilterMatch method returns true for the filter. Here's an example that creates a filter for callbacks on any type of transfer action, any decision action or objects whose name property case insensitively matches the word 'foo'. While this could all be done with one property callback clause the example will use multiple clauses for the sake of simplicity:

const myTraverseFilter = filterFactory.createFilterObject(archEnums.FILTER_CONTAINER_OPERATORS.or);
myTraverseFilter.addClausePropertyValueEquals('isArchBaseActionTransfer', true);
myTraverseFilter.addClausePropertyValueEquals('isArchActionDecision',     true);
myTraverseFilter.addClausePropertyCallback('name', function(propValue, archContainingObject, propName) {
      // We fully spelled out the function signature above but archContainingObject and propName are
      // not needed in this case.  The archContainingObject is the object that contains the
      // property and propName is the property name itself.  We pass in propName because the same
      // function could be used for multiple property callback clauses.
      // Remember to return a boolean true, false or undefined from ths callback.  :)
      return propValue && propValue.toLowerCase() === 'foo';
});
archTask.traverse(function(traverseContext) {
   // You will only be called back here for ArchBaseCoreObject instances that
   // have the isArchBaseActionTransfer or isArchActionDecision property values equal to true.
}, myTraverseFilter);

If you supply a filter with no clauses, this tells the traverse method to call the supplied callback function for every ArchBaseCoreObject it traverses.

If you want traversal itself to stop after a callback, simply return boolean false from the callback function you supply to the traverse call.

The traverse method does not process deprecated property names such as orgId, orgName or languageSettings. Additionally it does not traverse in to properties that would "jump out" of the current traversal. An example of this would be if the code was traversing an ArchActionJumpToMenu action that it would not start traversing in to the menu that it jumps to. Another example would be a ArchActionChangeState action where it would not traverse in to the target state of the action. This also means traversal does not traverse in to the ArchBaseValue#flowLevelDefault property.

And lastly, as Scripting evolves over time with new versions, you can expect to get callbacks for new object types such as new actions or new properties on objects. As such, it's important not to assume any particular order in callbacks to keep code most compatible with traversal callbacks. Or if you use inequality checks in filter clauses remember that new "stuff" may satisfy an inequality check which may or may not be anticipated in your logic.

Note: This traverse method is a helper method and is very handy for iterating over Architect Scripting objects and their properties in a generic fashion with filtering capabilities. Obviously you can write your own custom traversal code if this implementation doesn't cut it for some reason. :)

This function returns the number of times it called the callback function.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Default	Description
callbackFunction	callbackTraverseInfo			the callback function to call for objects that match the traverse filter.
traverseFilter	ArchFilterObject	<optional>	ArchFactoryFilters#createFilterTraverseDefault	the filter to use when performing the traversal to determine which ArchBaseCoreObject instances you wish to be called back for. If no filter is specified, this function will call ArchFactoryFilters#createFilterTraverseDefault and use that traversal default filter. The wantArchBaseValues parameter on that call is set to true.

Returns:

number
