Interface ITypedMetadata

Namespace
ToSic.Sxc.Data
Assembly
ToSic.Sxc.Data.dll

Metadata on Dynamic Objects - like IDynamicEntity or IAsset (files/folders).

[InternalApi_DoNotUse_MayChangeWithoutNotice("The name can change, but the APIs are safe to use.")]
public interface ITypedMetadata : ITypedItem, ITyped, IEquatable<ITypedItem>, ICanDebug, IHasDecorators<IEntity>, IMultiWrapper<IEntity>, IModelSetup<IEntity>, ICanBeEntity
Inherited Members

Remarks

Behaves like a normal DynamicEntity, but has additional commands to detect if specific Metadata exists.

History:

  • Added in v13
  • Made compatible to ITypedItem in 16.02 to allow typed commands such as .String(...)
  • Renamed in v16.02 from IDynamicMetadata to IMetadata since it's not necessarily dynamic any more (but still supports dynamic where needed) Note that this is a breaking change, but we believe the type is never directly mentioned in any code
  • Renamed in v20 to ITypedMetadata from IMetadata because it kept on causing confusions

Methods
