In this blog post we are going to show how to manage composite types in vRealize Orchestrator (vRO). You can group multiple parameters as class type that are logically linked in a new type called a composite type. I am going to show how to use composite types in code snippet.

Sample Composite Inputs

Name	Type
name	string
size	number
checked	boolean

Sample Scripts

Create the values in the table as objects.

var obj = new Object();  
obj.name = "Rengar";  
obj.size = 5;  
obj.checked = true; 

If you create this composite type as an array, you can put the object to into the array.

test.push(obj);

System.log("Array length = " + test.length); // length: 1
System.log("Listing to values");  
System.log(test[0].name);  
System.log(test[0].size);  
System.log(test[0].checked);

You can also loop the array inside a forEach.

for each (var obj in test)  
{  
  System.log("Name : " + obj.name);  
  System.log("Size : " + obj.size);  
  System.log("Checked : " + obj.checked); 
}  

If you want to reach each value in compose type without using an array, you can call the values as an object.

//This values come from the input.
System.log("Name : " + test.name);
System.log("Size " : + test.size);
System.log("Checked : + test.checked");
