Virtual DocType: Naming and getting single document?

[oguruma]

I am trying to build a virtual doctype based on a third-party REST API. The REST API returns a key called “application_number” that is the uuid.

The Frappe docs are not clear on how this is supposed to work.

How are you supposed to set the virtual doctype for the naming rule in the doctype.json? What are you supposed to set the load_from_db() to to get a single document?

Check this

Virtual DocType: no field show in list view by default?

Hi @oguruma: Check this sample from @buildwithhussain repo See how the returned object is built. Note that the previous as_list check is indented for Link Fields cases (needs this method too …) Hope this helps.

You can see load_from_db is done.
