## Enum FieldNamingStrategy

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<FieldNamingStrategy>
  - - com.smartgwt.client.types.FieldNamingStrategy

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<FieldNamingStrategy>

      public enum FieldNamingStrategy
      extends java.lang.Enum<FieldNamingStrategy>
      implements ValueEnum

  The strategy to use when generating field names - for example, for new formula or summary fields created using the built-in editors.

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `SIMPLE` generate names in the format fieldTypeX, where field type might be "formulaField" and X is an index specific to the field-type and component instance
    `UUID` generates a UUID for all generated field names

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.lang.String` | `getValue()`
    `static FieldNamingStrategy` | `valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static FieldNamingStrategy[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    - ### Methods inherited from class java.lang.Enum

      `clone, compareTo, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf`

    - ### Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object

      `getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait`

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### SIMPLE

          public static final FieldNamingStrategy SIMPLE

      generate names in the format fieldTypeX, where field type might be "formulaField" and X is an index specific to the field-type and component instance

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "simple".

    - #### UUID

          public static final FieldNamingStrategy UUID

      generates a UUID for all generated field names

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "uuid".

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static FieldNamingStrategy[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (FieldNamingStrategy c : FieldNamingStrategy.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static FieldNamingStrategy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getValue

          public java.lang.String getValue()

      Specified by:
        `getValue` in interface `ValueEnum`
