Registering an ENUM as an entity

EntityModule supports registration of enums as EntityConfiguration. When creating an EntityConfiguration for an enum, a basic EntityModule will get built and all enum properties will be configurable.

Registering enums as entity is mainly useful for configuration of display properties in related entity views.

Example registering an enum as entity

// Enum class
public enum Country
{
    BE( "Belgium" ),
    UK( "United Kingdom" ),
    NL( "Netherlands" );

    private String name;

    Country( String name ) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

// Create the EntityConfiguration
@Override
public void configure( EntitiesConfigurationBuilder entities ) {
    entities.create().entityType( Country.class, true ).label( "name" );
}

Labels

The labels for enum properties can be set using messageCodes.
