Enum Result.Datatype

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Result.Datatype>

org.openmrs.logic.result.Result.Datatype

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Result.Datatype>

Enclosing class:

Result

public static enum Result.Datatype
extends Enum<Result.Datatype>

Core datatypes for a result. Each result is one of these datatypes, but can be easily coerced into the other datatypes. To promote flexibility and maximize re-usability of logic rules, the value of a result can be controlled individually for each datatype — i.e., specfic datatype representations of a single result can be overridden. For example, a result could have a numeric value of 0.15 and its text value could be overridden to be "15 percent" or "Fifteen percent."

Enum Constant Detail

BOOLEAN

public static final Result.Datatype BOOLEAN

Represents a true/false type of result

CODED

public static final Result.Datatype CODED

Represents a Concept type of result

DATETIME

public static final Result.Datatype DATETIME

Represents a date type of result

NUMERIC

Method Detail

values

public static Result.Datatype[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Result.Datatype c : Result.Datatype.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Result.Datatype valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
