ENHO callbackClass

[larshp]

as the only type, ENHO contains "! $callbackClass {@link cl_seef_aff_enho_filter_st}, this is something outside this repository, so I cannot really tell what it is

is it required?

It is required, because the subschema of the filter_values is complicated (it has "oneOf", "anyOf", "maxItems"...) and can not be generated by the infos provided by if_aff_enho_v1 alone. Also the serialization and deserialization is complicated and therefore we decided to do them in abap coding instead of using a ST for filter_values (technically we call abap class cl_seef_aff_enho_filter_st inside the ENHO Aff ST to de/serialize the filter_values).

[larshp]

or in other words, the JSON type cannot be mapped to a static ABAP type

eg. just like conditional subschemas cannot be mapped to ABAP types

[larshp]

for reference, abapGit serializes structure ENH_BADI_IMPL_DATA

my suggestion: string

[schneidermic0]

One proposal to change it by @larshp to string ^^

The string can contain IF-condition like foo = 'A' OR ( bar = 1 AND moo = 5 )

[schneidermic0]

Options I see so far:

1. Change the type of filterValues to type string. The field content is an IF-condition like foo = 'A' OR ( bar = 1 AND moo = 5 )
2. Provide the callback class as open source so that it can be called by abap-file-formats-tools. It basically just returns the sub schema. See https://github.com/SAP/abap-file-formats/blob/7ae54e0cd5f67a346fb9797fab31bd7c0505c496/file-formats/enho/enho-v1.json#L136-L200
3. Change the ABAP type so that it can be represented as static structure. Basically, this means, we have a structure with various options on the first level (e.g., simple filter value, an or- or and-combination. It could look like this (or similar)

  "! <p class="shorttext">Filter Condition</p>
  "! Filter condition
  TYPES ty_value TYPE string.

  TYPES:
    "! <p class="shorttext">OR Filter Conditions</p>
    "! OR filter conditions
    BEGIN OF ty_or,
      "! <p class="shorttext">Filter Condition</p>
      "! Simple filter condition
      value TYPE ty_value,
    END OF ty_or.

  TYPES:
    "! <p class="shorttext">AND Filter Conditions</p>
    "! AND filter conditions

      "! <p class="shorttext">OR Filter Conditions</p>
      "! OR filter conditions
      or     TYPE standard table of ty_or with default key,
    END OF ty_and.

  TYPES:
