Enum constant details

BY_ID

BY_ID

static T byId(String id) – resolve one instance from its EntityId. Mandatory for every entity type, because an entity crosses the platform boundary as its id and nothing else.

SUGGESTED

SUGGESTED

static List<T> suggested() – the instances offered when the user is asked to choose. This is what fills the platform’s picker, so return the handful a person would plausibly want, not the whole table.

SEARCH

SEARCH

static List<T> matching(String query) – free-text lookup as the user types or speaks. Without it, a user can only pick from SUGGESTED.
