Constructor Detail

StartState

public StartState(BuiltCriteria criteria)

Construct a new instance.

Parameters:

criteria -

Method Detail

group

public BuildableStartState group(Criteria criteria)

Add a sub criteria to the Criteria that is building. A sub criteria is one that is wrapped in parenthesis.

Parameters:

criteria -

Returns:

the builder

group

public BuildableStartState group(Object criteria)

Add a sub criteria to the Criteria that is building. A sub criteria is one that is wrapped in parenthesis.

Parameters:

criteria -

Returns:

the builder

key

public KeyState key(String key)

Add a key to the Criteria that is building.

Parameters:

key -

Returns:

the builder

scope

public BuildableStartState scope(String prefix,
                                 Criteria criteria)

Add a scoped sub Criteria pinned at the prefix navigation path. Every condition in the inner criteria must be satisfied by the same destination record reachable via prefix, eliminating cross-link false positives that arise when conditions co-navigating a multi-valued link are combined with AND.

Parameters:

prefix - the navigation prefix that pins the pivot at which the inner conditions are evaluated; may be a single key, a dotted multi-segment path, or a transitive path. If the prefix has no link values at the traversal time — whether the key has never been a link, carries only non-link values, or had its links removed — the scope produces no matches

criteria - the inner Criteria, built or building

Returns:

the builder

scope

public BuildableStartState scope(String prefix,
                                 Object criteria)

Add a scoped sub Criteria pinned at the prefix navigation path when the caller forgets to build the inner criteria.

Parameters:

prefix - the navigation prefix at which the inner conditions are evaluated

criteria - the inner Criteria, expected to be a BuildableState

Returns:

the builder
