Class SiblingSetPattern

java.lang.Object

com.northconcepts.datapipeline.foundations.pipeline.tree.detect.SiblingSetPattern

public final class SiblingSetPattern
extends Object

An immutable naming pattern derived from a set of sibling names — a fixed prefix and suffix around a dynamic middle segment (for example item-* derived from item-1, item-2, item-3). The pattern informs display and field naming only; collapsed nodes always emit the XPath wildcard in their expressions.

SiblingSetPattern(String prefix, String suffix, NodeNameRule segmentRule)

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getDisplayName() Returns the pattern for display purposes (for example item-*).
String	getFieldNameHint() Returns the affix stripped of leading/trailing separators as a candidate field name (for example item), or null when both affixes are empty after trimming.
String	getPrefix()
NodeNameRule	getSegmentRule()
String	getSuffix()
boolean	matches(String name) Indicates if the supplied name fits this pattern: it carries the prefix and suffix around a non-empty middle segment that the segment rule classifies as dynamic.
