Data Types

Data in Velosimo is organized into Data Types which can be managed using flows, algorithms, translators and more.

There are three categories of Data Types:

JSON Types
Files Types
System Types

JSON Types

The JSON Data Types correspond to a JSON Schema.

To learn more about JSON Schema visit this page http://json-schema.org/

Browse JSON Data Types

Within the connect.velosimo.io platform, use the carrot next to Velosimo name in the top left to access Data -> Definitions

For JSON based Data Types, select that category from the Dashboard or the left navigation menu:

When viewing the list of Data Types available in the tenant, a user can filter them by name using the quick filter at the top of the page:

Using the three dot menu on the right side of each row a user can view the data for each data type by selecting "Records" from the options. In addition to viewing the data, a user can take action against the Data Type configuration. Some of the common actions are highlighted below.

Add New JSON Type

The following screens illustrate the details of adding a new JSON Type to the Connect Platform

New JSON Type Field details:

Field Name	Definition
Before Save Callbacks	Platform users can define algorithms that will be executed before save a record of this data type in a flow process.
Records methods	Platform users can define algorithms linked to some attributes of the records created of the data type. Is like a method for an specific attribute, and it could be execute in a code of your integration.

How to call JSON Type with code

Wherever you are in Velosimo, you can call the data_type definition by way:

Cenit.namespace('A').data_type('B')

If you want access to a record, you can use:

object = Cenit.namespace('A').data_type('B').where(query).first

where (query) is a hash with parameters of a query, ex: .where(name: 'photo', id: '123')

To obtain all records you can use:

objects = Cenit.namespace('A').data_type('B').where(query).all

To save a data_type:

Cenit.namespace('A').data_type('B').create_from_json!(data.to_json)
