public class Operator
extends java.lang.Object This class is not meant to be created and used, it is actually documentation of settings allowed in a DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), for use with Smart GWT Pro Edition and above. See com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds for how to use this documentation.
Use with DataSource.addSearchOperator() to define custom filtering behaviors for client-side filtering.

public boolean hidden
FilterBuilder. Setting hidden:true means the operator can be used in a programmatic search, for example, by calling ResultSet.setCriteria(), but does not appear in the UI.
Default value is false
Advanced Filteringpublic FieldType[] fieldTypes
If omitted, the operator is assumed to be valid for all FieldTypes unless a list of FieldTypes is passed to DataSource.addSearchOperator().
Default value is null

Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic OperatorId ID
AdvancedCriteria as the Operator property. A list of built-in identifiers is here.
Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic java.lang.String textTitle
To simplify internationalization by separating titles from operator code, you can use specify textTitleProperty instead of this property.

Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic FormItem editorType
valueType:"custom", indicates what kind of FormItem to use to provide a user interface for creating a valid Criterion. The default of null means an ordinary TextItem is fine. Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic java.lang.String symbol
expression in a FormItem. Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic boolean requiresServer
This implies that if a Criterion using this operator is either introduced into criteria or is changed, the server will need to be contacted to perform filtering.
Default value is false
Advanced Filteringpublic OperatorValueType valueType
Criterion that uses this operator. OperatorValueType lists possibilities. The default of null is equivalent to "fieldType", indicating that Criterion.value is expected to contain a value of the same type as the field indicated by Criterion.fieldName.
Default value is null
Advanced Filteringpublic java.lang.String usageHint
ListGrid filterEditor fields. If unset, the default for all operators, this value is derived from an attribute on the Operators class, in the format [operator.valueType]UsageHint - for example, the "between" operator uses valueRangeUsageHint.
