Members

static, readonly displayTypeName :string

Returns the display type name string 'ArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow'.

readonly compatibleFlowTypes :Array.<string>

Returns an array of flow type strings that is a snapshot of the compatible flow types for this common module flow. To add an additional compatible flow type to this flow, see the ArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow#addCompatibleFlowType method. To remove an existing compatible flow type from this common module flow, see the ArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow#removeCompatibleFlowType method.

readonly isArchBaseCoreObject :boolean

Returns true indicating that this is an ArchBaseCoreObject instance.

Overrides:

readonly isArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow :boolean

Returns true indicating that this is an ArchSettingsCommonModuleFlow instance.

readonly logStr :string

A string suitable for logging that contains information about this action. This will contain the action tracking id, name and scripting type name.

Overrides:

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.

Overrides:

Methods

addCompatibleFlowType(flowType)

Adds a flow type to the list of compatible flow types that are configured on this common module flow. If the supplied flow type string is not a valid flow type string at all or not a valid compatible flow type for a common module flow, this method will throw.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
flowType string

the flow type to add to the compatible flow types for this common module. The string values in ArchEnums#FLOW_TYPES list valid flow type values but additionally the flow type must be one that is valid for use as a compatible flow type in a common module flow. Whether a flow can be used as a compatible flow in a common module can be found here. Remember too that flow definitions have a ArchDefinitionFlow#type property that returns its flow type string value.

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
Overrides:

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.

Overrides:

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.
Overrides:

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.

Name Type Description
noteStr string

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

Overrides:

logNoteVerbose(noteStr)

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

Parameters:
Name Type Description
noteStr string

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

Overrides:

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:
Name Type Description
warningStr string

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

Overrides:

removeCompatibleFlowType(flowType)

Removes a flow type from the list of compatible flow types that are configured on this common module flow. If the supplied flow type string is not a valid flow type string at all or not a valid compatible flow type for a common module flow, this method will throw.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
flowType string

the flow type to remove from the compatible flow types for this common module. The string values in ArchEnums#FLOW_TYPES list valid flow type values but additionally the flow type must be one that is valid for use as a compatible flow type in a common module flow. Whether a flow can be used as a compatible flow in a common module can be found here. Remember too that flow definitions have a ArchDefinitionFlow#type property that returns its flow type string value.

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
