MeasureBuilderBase class

Abstract base class for measure builders. Measure builders allow for incremental, fluent construction and modification of measures.

Signature:

export declare abstract class MeasureBuilderBase<T extends IMeasureDefinitionType> 

Remarks

You should not be instantiating the builders directly. Instead, rely on the different functions to create different types of measures.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the MeasureBuilderBase class.

Properties

Property	Modifiers	Type	Description
alias		(alias?: string | undefined) => this	Sets alias - alternative title - for the measure.
build		() => IMeasure<T>
customLocalId		boolean
defaultFormat		() => this	Resets format string to the server-defined value.
defaultLocalId		() => this	Indicates that the measure's localId should be generated using the default local-id generator logic.
format		(format?: string | undefined) => this	Sets measure format to use when rendering values calculated from this measure.
localId		(localId?: Identifier | undefined) => this	Sets local identifier (localId) for the measure. LocalId can be used to reference the measure within the execution definition.
noAlias		() => this	Resets alias - alternative title - set for the measure.
noTitle		() => this	Resets alternative title for the measure. The server-defined title of the measure will be used instead.
title		(title?: string | undefined) => this	Sets alternative title for the measure.

Methods

Method	Modifiers	Description
buildDefinition()		Build of measure definition is responsibility of the subclass.
generateLocalId()		Generation of local identifier is a responsibility shared with the the subclass - so that the concrete builders can use their concrete definition to provide additional parts of the local id.
initializeFromExisting(measure)		The measure builder subclasses must call this when they are used to modify an existing measure. Existing measure modification returns a new object that reflects the mods however it keeps the localId set as-is.
