    • description (string) --

      A description of the slot type.

    • enumerationValues (list) --

      A list of EnumerationValue objects that defines the values that the slot type can take.

      • (dict) --

        Each slot type can have a set of values. Each enumeration value represents a value the slot type can take.

          Additional values related to the slot type value.

          • (string) --
    • lastUpdatedDate (datetime) --

      The date that the slot type was updated. When you create a resource, the creation date and last update date are the same.

    • createdDate (datetime) --

      The date that the slot type was created.

    • version (string) --

      The version of the slot type.

    • checksum (string) --

      Checksum of the $LATEST version of the slot type.

    • valueSelectionStrategy (string) --

      The strategy that Amazon Lex uses to determine the value of the slot. For more information, see PutSlotType.

    • parentSlotTypeSignature (string) --

      The built-in slot type used as a parent for the slot type.

    • slotTypeConfigurations (list) --

      Configuration information that extends the parent built-in slot type.

      • (dict) --

        Provides configuration information for a slot type.

        • regexConfiguration (dict) --

          A regular expression used to validate the value of a slot.

          • pattern (string) --

            A regular expression used to validate the value of a slot.

            Use a standard regular expression. Amazon Lex supports the following characters in the regular expression:

            • Infinite repeaters: *, +, or {x,} with no upper bound.
            • Wild card (.)
