Returns an Array of child IdentifiableBean belonging to this structure, for example if this structure is a CodelistBean, this call would return all the CodeBean structures
belonging to the CodelistBean

Inherited From:

Name of the class type (constructor)

Type
string
Example
let myCodelist = new CodelistBean(jsonFromServer);
myCodelist.getClassType(); // returns 'CodelistBean' 
myCodelist.getClassType(true); // returns 'Codelist'

getConceptRef()

Get the reference to the bean.conceptscheme.ConceptBean from this Component

Inherited From:
Returns:
Type
structure.CrossReferenceBean

getCrossReferencingStructures()

Returns an array of IdentifiableBean structures that reference this structure

Inherited From:
Returns:

bean.base.IdentifiableBean[] structures which reference this Identifiable

getEnumerationRef()

Returns the structure.CrossReferenceBean to a Codelist or Concept Scheme which contains the allowable content as an enumerated list of Items

Returns:

The reference to the Codelist or Concept Scheme which defines the enumeration of allowable content

Type
structure.CrossReferenceBean

getFullId()

Returns the full id of this structure, e.g if it is a cateogry it will be the id of the category and all the parent categories

Inherited From:
Returns:

The full id

Type
string

getFullIdPath(includeDifferentTypes)

Returns a period separated id of this identifiable, starting from the non-maintainable top-level ancestor to this identifiable.

For example, if this is "Category A" as a child of "Category AA", then this method will return AA.A (note the category scheme id is not present in this identifier).

Returns null if this is a maintainable bean.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
includeDifferentTypes boolean

if true will recurse all the way back up the tree regardless of ancestor types, up to the maintainable level.
If false, will stop at the first occurrence of an ancestor who's getClassType() is not equal to getClassType().
Inherited From:
Returns:

The full id

Type
string

getGuid()

Returns a non-editable unique Identifier for this bean, for client side only.

This GUID is generated automatically on the client on construction, the GUID is completely random and will not be the same for a structure with the same URN if the physical object differes.

Inherited From:
Returns:

An immutable string containing the a unique identifier for this structure

Type
string
Example
var jsonCL = 'get JSON from server
var codelist1 = new Codelist(jsonCL);
var codelist2 = new Codelist(jsonCL);

console.log(codelist1.getUrn() === codelist2.getUrn()); //outputs true
console.log(codelist1._guid() === codelist2._guid()); //outputs false

getId()

Get the Id of this Structure

Inherited From:
Returns:

The ID

Type
string

getMaintainableParent()

Returns the bean.base.MaintainableBean to which which this structure belongs. All structures must either be a MaintainableBean or be contained within a MaintainableBean.

If this class is a MaintainableBean, then it will return itself as MaintainableBean is the outermost container for all structures

Inherited From:
Returns:

This objects maintainable parent

Type
bean.base.MaintainableBean
Example
var annualCode = myCodeList.getItem("A");
annualCode.getMaintainableParent() // returns 'myCodeList'

a callback for complete
Inherited From:

getMetadataDefs()

Returns an array of @see Metadata.ReferenceMetadataLink, or an empty array if there are none

Inherited From:

getParent( [clazz])

Inherited From:
Returns:

The parent for this object

Type
bean.base.Bean
Example
var dsd = dimension.getParent(DataStructureBean); // note that 'DataStructureBean' is not a string but a Class
