Akwatype provides a number of standard properties to qualify the objects of its models.

However, each project or organization has its own needs and Akwatype has the custom properties to meet them.

A custom property is defined by its name and the following properties

  • type  (String)
    • Type of the values of this property (String, Integer, Boolean...)
  • values (List - depends on the type of property)
    • Lists of possible values for this property
      • This list of values allows to check the validity of the values entered when using this property
      • it also allows to feed the completion of the editor which will automatically propose the list of possible values during the input
  • openAPI (boolean)
    • if true, the custom property will be included in the OpenAPI extension of akwatype when generating the OpenAPI description
      • x-akwatype-custom-properties

Once declared, a custom property is used as a standard Akwatype property.

Concerning the data model Akwatype has :

  • customTypeProperty
  • customFieldProperty

example :

customTypeProperty myTypeProperty { 
    type:String
    values:["T1","T2","T3"]
    openAPI: true
}
customFieldProperty myFieldProperty { type:Integer values:[2,5] openAPI: true } type Vehicle{ properties { label:"any type of vehicle" myTypeProperty: "T1" } model:String{ label:"vehicle model" myFieldProperty:2 } brand:String }
