.. _data_type:

Data type
-------------------------------------

Represents the **schema** of a specific type of **data**.

Supports both **primitive** and **complex** data types:

.. list-table::
   :widths: 50 50
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Primitive
     - Complex
   * - * string
       * integer
       * float
       * double
       * boolean
       * timestamp
       * null
     - * json
       * list
       * array
For complex data type, an **entry schema** is required, defining the
type of value contained within the complex type, if list or array.

Users can **create** as many **data type** as needed.

.. note::

   **Creating Custom Data Types:**

   To create a custom data-type you can use a POST call to CDS endpoint: 
   "<cds-ip>:<cds-port>/api/v1/model-type"

   .. code-block:: python
      :caption: **Payload:**

      {

       "model-name": "<model-name>",
       "derivedFrom": "tosca.datatypes.Root",

       "definitionType": "data_type",

       "definition": {

          "description": "<description>",

          "version": "<version-number: eg 1.0.0>",

          "properties": {<add properties of your custom data type in JSON format>},

          "derived_from": "tosca.datatypes.Root"

       },

       "description": "<description",

       "version": "<version>",

       "tags": "<model-name>,datatypes.Root.data_type",

       "creationDate": "<creation timestamp>",

       "updatedBy": "<name>"

      }

Data type are useful to manipulate data during resource resolution. 
They can be used to format the JSON output as needed.

List of existing data type:

`TOSCA specification 
<http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.2/csd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.2-csd01.html#_Toc494454187>`_

**Below is a list of existing data types**

.. tabs::
   
   .. tab:: resource-assignment

      **datatype-resource-assignment**

      Used to define entries within artifact-mapping-resource 
      (see tab Artifact Type -> artifact-mapping-resource)

      That datatype represent a **resource** to be resolved. We also refer
      this as an **instance of a data dictionary** as it's directly linked to
      its definition.

      .. list-table::
         :widths: 50 50
         :header-rows: 1

         * - Property
           - Description
         * - property
           - Defines how the resource looks like (see datatype-property on the right tab)
         * - input-param
           - Whether the resource can be provided as input.
         * - dictionary-name
           - Reference to the name of the data dictionary (see :ref:`data_dictionary`).
         * - dictionary-source
           - Reference the source to use to resolve the resource (see :ref:`resource source`).
         * - dependencies
           - List of dependencies required to resolve this resource.
         * - updated-date
           - Date when mapping was upload.
         * - updated-by
           - Name of the person that updated the mapping.

   .. tab:: property

      **datatype-property**

      Used to defined the **property** entry of a **resource assignment**.

      .. list-table::
         :widths: 25 75
         :header-rows: 1

         * - Property
           - Description
         * - type
           - Whether it's a primitive type, or a defined data-type

         * - required
           - Whether it's required or not
