// fields instanceof AppGiniFields

Notes

  • Both methods, .exclude(...) and .include(...) , return a new (important!) AppGiniFields -object, holding the configured fields.
  • After exclude / include the orginal AppGiniField - or AppGiniFields -object will remain unchanged an can still be used.
  • Calling .include() on an AppGiniField -object (single field) will return a new AppGiniFields -object (multiple fields container)
  • Calling .exclude() on an AppGiniFields -object resulting in a single field remaining, will always return an AppGiniFields -object, even if there is only one field left.
    This will not return a single-field AppGiniField -object (single)

Overview

Init collection 

1
 
var f = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b"]); // --> a,b

Include

collection + single field 

1
 
var f = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b"]).include("c"); // --> a, b, c

collection + multiple fields 

1
 
var f = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b"]).include(["c", "d"]); // --> a, b, c, d

collection + collection

var f1 = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b"]); // --> a, b
var f2 = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["c", "d"]); // --> c, d
var f = f1.include(f2); // --> a, b, c, d

Exclude

collection - single field 

1
 
var f = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b", "c"]).exclude("c"); // --> a, b

collection - multiple fields 

1
 
var f = AppGiniHelper.DV.getFields(["a", "b", "c", "d"]).exclude(["c", "d"]); // --> a, b

var field = AppGiniHelper.DV.getField("a"); // single field
