Class MacroMetadata


  • public class MacroMetadata
    extends Object
    A Bean that encapsulates the 'metadata' of the macro.

    Its purpose is to provide an overview of the macro for the Macro Browser's list of available macros, and to include information about how the macro should be displayed in the list (e.g. "hidden").

    More detailed macro metadata including parameter details is encapsulated by the MacroFormDetails class.

    • Method Detail

      • getMacroName

        public String getMacroName()
      • getPluginKey

        public String getPluginKey()
      • getIcon

        public MacroIcon getIcon()
        Returns:
        the MacroIcon , containing the url string to the macro icon and whether or not the URL is relative. Can return null.
      • getTitle

        public Message getTitle()
      • getDescription

        public Message getDescription()
      • getAliases

        public Set<String> getAliases()
        Returns aliases for this macro.

        Aliases are other macro names that can be substituted for the "main" macro name. For example "web-widget" can be used instead of "widget" for the "Widget Connector" macro. Only the "main" name is used by the macro-browser, so we use the Strings returned by this method to edit in the macro-browser those macros with an alias in their markup.

        Returns:
        a set of strings that are aliases of the macro name.
      • getCategories

        public Set<String> getCategories()
        Returns categories this macro should be displayed within in the Macro Browser.

        Categories allow macros to be browsed instead of searched. The Macro Browser has a list view where all macros for a given category are displayed, and adding the category name to the set returned from this method displays this macro in that category list.

        Returns:
        a set of strings that are names of MacroCategory enum objects.
      • isBodyDeprecated

        public boolean isBodyDeprecated()
        Returns:
        true if the body of the macro is deprecated (defined the macro configuration). Use this method to take precedence over the Macro.hasBody() implementation.
      • isHidden

        public boolean isHidden()
        Returns:
        true if this metadata should not appear in the Macro Browser.
      • getAlternateId

        public String getAlternateId()
        Returns an alternative id for the macro. This is necessary as the macro name may not necessary be unique.
      • extractMacroSummary

        public MacroSummary extractMacroSummary()
