  • Perform the first step of the DataModel#_updateSource workflow which applies changes to a copy of model source data and records the resulting diff.

    Parameters

    • copy: any

      A mutable copy of model source data

    • changes: any

      New values which should be applied to the data model

    • options: any

      Options which determine how the new data is merged

    • _state: any

      Data cleaning state

    Returns object

    The resulting difference applied to source data

    A failure if the proposed change is invalid

  • Test whether a given User has permission to perform some action on this Document

    Parameters

    • user: BaseUser

      The User attempting modification

    • action: string

      The attempted action

    • Optionaldata: object = {}

      Data involved in the attempted action

    Returns boolean

    Does the User have permission?

  • Get an embedded document by its id from a named collection in the parent document.

    Parameters

    • embeddedName: string

      The name of the embedded Document type

    • id: string

      The id of the child document to retrieve

    • Optionaloptions: { invalid?: boolean; strict?: boolean } = {}

      Additional options which modify how embedded documents are retrieved

      • Optionalinvalid?: boolean

        Allow retrieving an invalid Embedded Document.

      • Optionalstrict?: boolean

        Throw an Error if the requested id does not exist. See Collection#get

    Returns Document<object, DocumentConstructionContext>

    The retrieved embedded Document instance, or undefined

    If the embedded collection does not exist, or if strict is true and the Embedded Document could not be found.

  • Traverse the data model instance, obtaining the DataField definition for a field of a particular property.

    Parameters

    • key: string | string[]

      A property key like ["abilities", "strength"] or "abilities.strength"

    Returns DataField | undefined

    The corresponding DataField definition for that field, or undefined

  • Get the value of a "flag" for this document See the setFlag method for more details on flags

    Parameters

    • scope: string

      The flag scope which namespaces the key

    • key: string

      The flag key

    Returns any

    The flag value

  • Get the explicit permission level that a User has over this Document, a value in CONST.DOCUMENT_OWNERSHIP_LEVELS. Compendium content ignores the ownership field in favor of User role-based ownership. Otherwise, Documents use granular per-User ownership definitions and Embedded Documents defer to their parent ownership.

    This method returns the value recorded in Document ownership, regardless of the User's role, for example a GAMEMASTER user might still return a result of NONE if they are not explicitly denoted as having a level.

    To test whether a user has a certain capability over the document, testUserPermission should be used.

    Parameters

    • Optionaluser: BaseUser

      The User being tested

    Returns DocumentOwnershipNumber

    A numeric permission level from CONST.DOCUMENT_OWNERSHIP_LEVELS

  • For Documents which include game system data, migrate the system data object to conform to its latest data model. The data model is defined by the template.json specification included by the game system.

    Returns object

    The migrated system data object

  • Reset the state of this data instance back to mirror the contained source data, erasing any changes.

    Returns void

  • Assign a "flag" to this document. Flags represent key-value type data which can be used to store flexible or arbitrary data required by either the core software, game systems, or user-created modules.

    Each flag should be set using a scope which provides a namespace for the flag to help prevent collisions.

    Flags set by the core software use the "core" scope. Flags set by game systems or modules should use the canonical name attribute for the module Flags set by an individual world should "world" as the scope.

    Flag values can assume almost any data type. Setting a flag value to null will delete that flag.

    Parameters

    • scope: string

      The flag scope which namespaces the key

    • key: string

      The flag key

    • value: any

      The flag value

  • Update the DataModel locally by applying an object of changes to its source data. The provided changes are expanded, cleaned, validated, and stored to the source data object for this model. The provided changes argument is mutated in this process. The source data is then re-initialized to apply those changes to the prepared data. The method returns an object of differential changes which modified the original data.

    Parameters

    • changes: object = {}

      New values which should be applied to the data model

    • options: DataModelUpdateOptions = {}

      Options which determine how the new data is merged

    Returns object

    An error if the requested data model changes were invalid

  • Validate the data contained in the document to check for type and content. This method is intended to validate complete model records, verifying both individual field validation as well as joint model validity.

    For validating sets of partial model changes, it is preferred to call DataModel#updateSource as a dryRun. This method provides a convenience alias for such a workflow if changes are provided.

    Warning: if fallback handling is allowed, this process will mutate provided changes or model source data.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    Whether the data source or proposed change is reported as valid. A boolean is always returned if validation is non-strict.

    An error thrown if validation is strict and a failure occurs.

  • Protected

    Resolve a previously-initialized embedded DataModel that corresponds to an element being cleaned. Called during recursive data cleaning when a parent field contains EmbeddedDataField elements, or a single nested DataModel field (such as a TypeDataField), in order to propagate the inner DataModel into _state.model for the recursive clean operation. A single (non-collection) inner model resolves to itself; collection elements are matched by stable _id when one is present, otherwise by positional index.

    Subclasses may override when data preparation reshapes the field property in a way that the default cannot interpret, for example wrapping the container in a non-iterable type or replacing it with a derived view.

    Parameters

    • field: DataField

      The schema field being recursed into.

    • element: { index?: number; value: object } = {}
      • Optionalindex?: number

        The positional index of the element within a container, if applicable.

      • value: object

        The cleaned candidate value for the element being processed.

    • Optionaloptions: Readonly<DataModelCleaningOptions> = {}

      The cleaning options in effect for the operation.

    Returns DataModel<object, DataModelConstructionContext> | null

    The corresponding previously-initialized inner DataModel, or null.

  • Define the data schema for models of this type. The schema is populated the first time it is accessed and cached for future reuse.

    The schema, through its fields, provide the essential cleaning, validation, and initialization methods to turn the _source values into direct properties of the data model. The schema is a static property of the model and is reused by all instances to perform validation.

    The schemas defined by the core software in classes like foundry.documents.BaseActor are validated by the server, where user code does not run. However, almost all documents have a flags field to store data, and many have a system field that can be configured to be a foundry.abstract.TypeDataModel instance. Those models are not constructed on the server and rely purely on client-side code, which means certain extra-sensitive fields must be also be registered through your package manifest. foundry.packages.types.ServerSanitizationFields

        _id: DocumentIdField;
        _stats: DocumentStatsField;
        key: StringField;

    }

    class SomeModel extends foundry.abstract.DataModel {
    static defineSchema() {

    }
    }
    }

    class AnotherModel extends SomeModel {
    static defineSchema() {
    // Inheritance and object oriented principles apply to schema definition
    const schema = super.defineSchema()

    schema.bar = new foundry.data.fields.NumberField()

    return schema;
    }
    }
