Binding entity value to component

DocuMine automatically creates a component for each extracted entity, simplifying the process for developers seeking to implement a 1:1 linking between entity and component. In case you see a necessity to implement it, the simplest form of component construction is binding one entity value to a component:

rule "CompletionDate.1.0: Completion Date"
    when
        $completion: Entity(type == "completion_date")
    then
        componentCreationService
        .create(
        "CompletionDate.1.0",
        "Completion Date",
        $completion.getValue(),
        "Completion Date",
        $completion);
    end

The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the rule syntax:

Syntax

Explanation

rule "CompletionDate.1.0: Completion Date"

Name of the rule

Each rule must have a unique name. For further information, please see Rule naming.

$completion: Entity (type == “completion_date”)

Targets entity with the type “Completion Date“.

componentCreationService

Invokes the class responsible for component construction.

.create("CompletionDate.1.0", "Completion Date", $completion.getValue(), "Completion Date", $completion);

Invokes the ‘create’ method to construct a component named “Completion Date”, and binds the value of the “Completion Date” entity to it. That rule applies the “CompletionDate.1.0” identifier.
