Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
JiraDataType	getDataType() Provides the JiraDataType that this clause handles and searches on.

Method Detail

getJqlClauseNames

ClauseNames getJqlClauseNames()

Returns:

the allowed JQL clause names.

getIndexField

@Nullable
String getIndexField()

Returns:

the string that represents the field id in the lucene index; may be null if the clause does not search directly on the index e.g. "saved filter" or "all text" clause.

getFieldId

@Nullable
String getFieldId()

Returns:

the system or custom field id that this clause is associated with; may be null if the clause does not have a corresponding field e.g. "parent issue" or "saved filter" clause.

getSupportedOperators

Set<Operator> getSupportedOperators()

Provides a set of the supported Operator's that this custom field searcher can handle for its searching.

Returns:

a set of supported operators.

getDataType

JiraDataType getDataType()

Provides the JiraDataType that this clause handles and searches on. This allows us to infer some information about how the search will behave and how it will interact with other elements in the system. For example, if this returns JiraDataTypes.DATE then we know that we could provide users with a date picker for an input field, and we know that this clause should only be used by functions that also specify dates.

Returns:

the JiraDataType that this clause can handle.
