    • getIdValue

      default String getIdValue(T object, int index)
      This method is called to get the id value of an object (used as the value attribute of a choice element) The id can be extracted from the object like a primary key, or if the list is stable you could just return a toString of the index.

      Parameters:
      object - The object for which the id should be generated

      String

    • getObject

      default T getObject(String id, IModel<? extends List<? extends T>> choices)

      Parameters:
      id - The id representation of the object
      choices - The list of all rendered choices
      Returns:
      A choice from the list that has this id
