An IterableEntity or Iterable2Entity have only one member parameter, which is the collection of modddels. For example, a 'BookList' ListEntity will have one member parameter List<Book> books
.
The TypeTemplate
is the template that the type of the member parameter should match. Every IterableEntity/Iterable2Entity kind has a type template .
For example, the type template of a MapEntity
(which is an Iterable2Entity) is 'Map<#1,#2>' :
#1
and #2
are masks. #1
matches the first modddel type of the MapEntity, and #2
matches the second modddel type.
So this type template would match for example : Map<Username, Password>
.
Let's take another example : the type template of a MappedValuesEntity
(which is an IterableEntity) is Map<*,#1>
:
The *
is a wildcard : it matches any type argument.
The #1
is a mask : it matches the modddel type of the MappedValuesEntity.
So this type template would match for example : Map<int, Person>
and Map<String, Person>
.
