Syntax

public static class Metadata

Methods

From(params object[])

Creates a metadata dictionary from a layer or a set of layers.

Declaration

public static IDictionary<string, object> From(params object[] layers)

Parameters

object[] layers Objects containing data for respective layers

Returns

IDictionary<string, object> Metadata dictionary that can be used in a Metadata property of various contracts, e.g. ContentCreateRequest

Remarks

Layer names (schema IDs) will be determined by schema ID defined in PictureparkSchemaAttribute on the layer class (if applied) or the name of the type. For use with anonymous classes, please use the From(string, object) overload.

From(string, object)

Creates a metadata dictionary from a layer. Usually used if the layer object is an anonymous object or a dictionary.

Declaration

public static IDictionary<string, object> From(string layerName, object layer)

Parameters

string layerName Schema ID of the layer schema

object layer Object containing data of the layer

Returns

IDictionary<string, object> Metadata dictionary that can be used in a Metadata property of various contracts, e.g. ContentCreateRequest

ResolveLayerKey(Type)

Resolves layer key for metadata dictionary based on either the ID defined in PictureparkSchemaAttribute (if applied on the type) or based on type name.

Declaration

public static string ResolveLayerKey(Type layerType)

Parameters

Type layerType Type for which to resolve layer key

Returns

string Resolved layer key

ResolveSchemaId(object)

Resolves schema ID based on either the ID defined in PictureparkSchemaAttribute (if applied on the type) or based on type name.

Declaration

public static string ResolveSchemaId(object obj)

Parameters

object obj Object for which to resolve schema ID

Returns

string Resolved schema ID

ResolveSchemaId(Type)

Resolves schema ID based on either the ID defined in PictureparkSchemaAttribute (if applied on the type) or based on type name.

Declaration

public static string ResolveSchemaId(Type type)

Parameters

Type type Type for which to resolve schema ID

Returns

string Resolved schema ID

Update<T, TProperty>(Expression<Func<T, TProperty>>, TProperty)

Creates a metadata dictionary for a use in a metadata update scenario.

Declaration

public static IDictionary<string, object> Update<T, TProperty>(Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> property, TProperty newValue)

Parameters

Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> property The property on the object (schema field) you want to update

TProperty newValue New value you want to update the schema field to

Returns

IDictionary<string, object> Metadata dictionary that can be used in a Metadata property of update contracts, e.g. ContentMetadataUpdateRequest

Type Parameters

T

TProperty
