Data Types

Data Types in t6

t6 implement a list of 8 datatypes. Each of them is storing Datapoint value to a specific Field (and cannot be moved later).

DataType	Field in Db	Example
Boolean	valueBoolean	true
Date	valueDate	2021-12-31
Float	valueFloat	10.00
Geo	valueGeo	(-69.718107, 42.321471)
Integer	valueInteger	10
Json	valueJson	{"foo": "bar"}
String	valueString	Hello World
Time	valueTime	10:59am

Each of them is having two attributes: type and classification which must match the following diagram:

A specific Api is provided to list those datatypes dynamically including their attributes (including id referring to identifier to be used when creating/editing resources from the Api) : General - Get DataTypes
