Column modifiers
These are classes which extend the base ColModifer
class. They're used to decorate values prior to display, such as when they're rendered in an Itemlist
. For example, you could display the user's name instead of their numeric ID, or display 'Y' or 'N' boolean values instead of 1 and 0, or display dates in a format like "Mon 1-May-2017" instead of the actual database value "2017-05-01".
A subclass diagram showing all the ColModifiers and their relationships is available.
