Category:Property

From JRapid

Entities are composed of properties which holds the entity's information like values or relationships with other entities (database one-to-many and many-to many relationships).

JRapid properties are defined by their type which can be entity-type or inmutable types (like integer, double, string, etc). Also, JRapid defines own types like "image", "file", "email", etc..

The JRapid's Code Generator reads the properties of the entities to build the corresponding Java class which is then mapped to a database table where each property is a table column. The mapping between the Java class and the database table happens through a generated Hibernate Mapping file (Java-class-name.hbm).

Properties can specify attributes which add extra behaviour to the property.

Example:

• "string" properties.

The "string" type for a property is the default if no type is specified. The default widget for this kind of properties is a textfield without any validations.
