Default EntityViewProcessors

This chapter lists the general purpose EntityViewProcessor classes that are provided by EntityModule. The default entity views are all built on these processors.

You can use these manually to assemble a DefaultEntityViewFactory, though some will be configured automatically if you use one of the builders.

The class javadoc gives more detailed information. For a full list of all processors available, see the package summary.

Name Purpose

Name	Purpose
ActionAllowedAuthorizationViewProcessor	Verifies an the entity configuration or association being requested is not hidden, and a configured `AllowableAction` is present.
DefaultEntityFetchingViewProcessor	Uses the default repository or query fetcher to fetch all items for the current entity view context.
DefaultValidationViewProcessor	Registers the default `EntityViewCommandValidator` and validates the command object if state changing web request (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) is performed.
DelegatingEntityFetchingViewProcessor	Fetches items using a configured `Function` or `BiFunction`.
EntityPropertyRegistryViewProcessor	Registers a custom `EntityPropertyRegistry` on the view context.
EntityQueryFilterProcessor	Adds an EntityQuery language based filter to a list view. Adds both the form with textbox and fetches the items based on the form values.
GlobalPageFeedbackViewProcessor	Renders global feedback on a `PageContentStructure` (admin page). Global feedback is usually added using `EntityViewPageHelper`.
ListFormViewProcessor	Adds a default form at the top of a list view. Optionally add a create button.
ListPageStructureViewProcessor	Generates the page structure for an entity list view. Add a page title and publishes the `EntityPageStructureRenderedEvent`.
MessagePrefixingViewProcessor	Configures custom prefixes that should be used for message code resolving.
PageableExtensionViewProcessor	Creates a `Pageable` from request parameters and binds it to an `EntityViewCommand` extension.
PropertyRenderingViewProcessor	Renders a list of properties: allows the properties to be configured as well as the `ViewElementMode` for rendering.
SingleEntityFormViewProcessor	Creates a form-based layout for an entity view. Supports configuring the form grid (defaults to 2 columns), adding default actions (save/cancel) and adding global binding error messages.
SingleEntityPageStructureViewProcessor	Generates the page structure for a single entity. Adds a page title, builds the entity specific menu (renders it as tabs) and publishes the `EntityPageStructureRenderedEvent`.
SortableTableRenderingViewProcessor	Generates a sortable table for a list of entities. Allows several configuration options like properties to render, sorting options etc.
TemplateViewProcessor	Configures the name of the template that should be rendered as the result of the controller.
