type Element

This topic describes the <type> XML element.

General syntax
<type [value="regexp" regexpid="my_id" invert="false"] />
Description Test the type name of the component. This test is an alias instruction for the test Element and specialAttribute Element.
Attributes Name Use Annotation
value optional It can be either a string or any Regular Expression reference. If the optional attribute value is omitted, then the test will execute an existence check. If the value attribute is defined, the test is successful if the value matches the pattern.
regexpid optional Defines the unique id within of the namespace to reference the test using regular expressions.

Allowed characters: [p{Alnum}\_\-] = [a-z A-Z 0-9 _ -]

invert optional The Boolean value True inverts the behavior of the instruction. If the attribute is not configured, the default value False is used and the behavior of the instruction is not inverted. If the value is specified as True and the criteria do not match, the child instructions are executed.
Examples
<!-- tests if a special attribute type.name exists / is defined -->

<!--type tests if type name equals AC -->
