Constructors

OERecord()

The default constructor initializes the record object to an empty record with no fields or values.

Copy constructor.

add_field

add_field(field: OEFieldBase) -> bool

Adds an empty field to the record and returns True if successful.

See also

clear

clear() -> None

Removes all fields and data from the record, leaving it empty.

clear_value

clear_value(field: OEFieldBase) -> bool

Removes the specified field’s value from the record. The field will still exist, but will have no associated value. Returns False if no such field or value exist.

delete_field

delete_field(field: OEFieldBase) -> bool

get_field

get_field(name: str, includeMeta: bool=True) -> object

Returns the field with the specified name and type from the record. If no such field exists on the record, an empty (and unusable) field object is returned.

name
The name of the field to retrieve from the record.
includeMeta
If this is True, the returned field will include the record’s metadata for the field.

See also

get_field_meta

get_field_meta(name: str) -> OEFieldMeta

Returns an OEFieldMeta object containing the metadata from the named field. If the field does not exist, or the field exists but contains no metadata, an empty OEFieldMeta object is returned.

name
The name of the field to retrieve the metadata from.

get_fields

get_fields() -> List[object]
get_fields(fieldType: OEFieldTypeHandler) -> List[object]

Returns the field objects from the record.

This parameter specifies the type of the field to match.

get_value(field: OEField) -> Any

Retrieves the value from a field on the record. If no such value exists on the record, this will return None.

field
The field from which the value is retrieved.

See also

has_field

has_field(field: OEField, matchMeta: bool=false) -> bool

Tests for existence of a field on the record, and returns True if a field of the specified name and type exists, regardless of whether the field contains a value.

field
The field to test for on the record.
matchMeta
When true, all metadata on the field parameter must be present on the record’s field to return true.

See also

has_value

has_value(field: OEFieldBase) -> bool

Tests for presence of a value on the record for the specified field, and returns true if such a value exists. The method will return false if no matching value can be found or if the specified field does not exist on the record.

field
The field to check for a value.

is_empty

is_empty() -> bool

Returns True if the record contains no fields or data.

is_na

is_na(field: OEFieldBase) -> bool
is_na(fieldName: str) -> bool

Returns True if the specified field contains a null value. Note that this is different from the field not containing a value at all.

field
The field to test.
fieldName
The name of the field to test.

set_value

set_value(field: OEField, value: Any) -> bool

Sets the specified value on the record, and returns True if successful.

The field to set the value for. If the field exists, its value will be overwritten. If the field doesn’t exist on the record, it will be added.
value
The value to be added to the record.

See also

check_field

check_field(const OEFieldBase &field, bool matchMeta=false) -> int

Tests the existence and state of a field on a record, and returns a value from the OERecordReturnCode namespace.

If this argument is True, the test for a matching field will include the field parameter’s metadata.
