Class ModelSourceAttribute
BETA / WIP: Mark custom models/interfaces to specify what data they expect.
[InternalApi_DoNotUse_MayChangeWithoutNotice("may change or rename at any time")]
public sealed class ModelSourceAttribute : Attribute
- Inheritance
-
objectAttributeModelSourceAttribute
Remarks
This marks custom models to enable checks and more automation, such as:
- Specify an alternate content type name than the default, which would have to match the class/interface name
- Ensure that the model is only used for specific content-type(s) which don't match the model name
- Allow the model to be used with all content types
*
- Automatically find the best stream of data to use with the model, if it doesn't match the model name
Typical use is for custom data such as classes inheriting from CustomItem which takes an entity and then provides a strongly typed wrapper around it.
History: New / WIP in v19.01
Properties
ContentTypes
Determines which content-type names are expected when converting to this data model.
public string ContentTypes { get; init; }
Property Value
Remarks
Usually this is checked when converting Entities to the custom data model. If it doesn't match, will then throw an error.
Typically just one value, such as "Article" or "Product". But it will also support "*" for anything, or (future!) a comma-separated list of content-type names.

Streams
