Method Detail

list

PagingResponse<CollectionView> list(CollectionSearchRequest searchRequest)

Pages Collection entities based on the parameters received.

To iterate over all entities you can use code like this: PagingRequest req = new PagingRequest(); PagingResponse<T> response; do { response = service.list(req); for (T obj : response.getResults()) { doStuff(); } req.nextPage(); } while (!response.isEndOfRecords());

Parameters:

searchRequest - CollectionSearchRequest with all the parameters

Returns:

a list of entities ordered by their creation date, newest coming first

listAsLatimerCore

PagingResponse<ObjectGroup> listAsLatimerCore(CollectionSearchRequest searchRequest)

Similar to the list(CollectionSearchRequest) method but returns the results in Latimer Core format.

listDeleted

PagingResponse<CollectionView> listDeleted(CollectionSearchRequest searchRequest)

Provides access to deleted collections.

getAsLatimerCore

ObjectGroup getAsLatimerCore(@NotNull
                             @NotNull UUID key)

Similar to CrudService.get(UUID) but it returns the result in Latimer Core format.

createFromLatimerCore

UUID createFromLatimerCore(@NotNull @Valid
                           @NotNull @Valid ObjectGroup objectGroup)

Similar to CrudService.create(CollectionEntity) but it accepts Latimer Core.

updateFromLatimerCore

void updateFromLatimerCore(@NotNull @Valid
                           @NotNull @Valid ObjectGroup entity)

Similar to CrudService.update(CollectionEntity))} but it accepts Latimer Core.

getCollectionView

CollectionView getCollectionView(@NotNull
                                 @NotNull UUID key)

Retrieves a CollectionView by the collection key.

suggest

List<KeyCodeNameResult> suggest(@Nullable
                                String q)

Provides a simple suggest service.

createFromDataset

UUID createFromDataset(UUID datasetKey,
                       String collectionCode)

Creates a Collection from a Dataset.
