![]() ![]() In factor, other assets can be created using this method as well. The code below will create a User Defined Enum asset at "/Content/CreatedByPython/IAmAEnum", with Unreal Engine's built-in function. Download latest TAPython hereīelow are the Cheat Sheets: User Defined Enum ¶ Create User Defined Enum ¶ In short, we can use Python to do almost everything you did manually in the editor with them. Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler. Now we can create, query and modify the User Defined Enum/Struct/DataTable with python. In the latest version 1.0.5, TAPython add 40+ Editor API for use the User Defined Enum, User Defined Struct and DataTable. Again, check the notes of this video for other options for other SQL languages and other data types you can use when creating custom types.TAPython has extended lots of editor functions in PythonEditorLibs. Create Your Own Creating a Bundle Outline For each Bundle command one can pass data (via stdin) like selected text, current word, selected table row data CSV formatted etc. In our case we used an ENUM so it took open and closed prints. ![]() Then you're going to give it a name of this new type and then you're going to define the data type that you want your custom type to reference. To review, creating custom types is super easy. If we misspell instructor, we're going to see an arrow thrown that's going to catch it and save us, thus helping our data integrity of our table. Now, if you're like me and a terrible speller, this ENUM is going to save us from misspelling. Now we go and try and find her again we'll see that we successfully updated her status to an instructor. Set status equal to instructor where her first name is equal to Lucy. ![]() We can easily do this by just updated her row. You see that Lucy Smith doesn't have a status. By default it's going to be NULL because we're not giving it any value. We'll call that column the status and it's going to have the user status. Let's go ahead and add another column to this table that's going to have the ENUM that we just created. Looking at our users table again, we've got four columns here - user handle, first name, last name, and email. Especially when they access the page we need to know if they're a member, instructor, or developer. Let's think of our product like egghead.io. We only want to use members, instructors, and developers. For the ENUM values we want to use, we're going to pass those through here as strings. We can spend an hour going over this, but for this video we're just going to stick to using ENUMs. There are other custom data types you can create with composites, enumerated, range, base, and array. Next up, we're defining the data type of this custom type. ![]() We're creating a custom type and calling it user status. Once you've run this, you'll see it is as CREATE TYPE. Let's write CREATE TYPE user status as ENUM, then we're going to give it three string values - member, instructor, and developer. One powerful feature of SQL is the ability to add custom types. We ensure integrity by adding constraints to our tables like NOT NULL, UNIQUE, adding primary keys, and also using the correct types for our columns. It just makes writing and debugging queries so much easier. Instructor: Data integrity is something you should always have in mind. ![]()
