Inheritance diagram for AssetDescriptionInterface:

Detailed Description

An AssetDescription represents all meta information about an asset, namely its identifer and version, the AssetMetaData and some further information. AssetRepositoryInterface::FindAssets yields the found assets not as Asset, but as AssetDescription to avoid unnecessary loading of the assets. When you really need the asset itself you have to call Load on the description.

◆ MAXON_INTERFACE()

MAXON_INTERFACE	(	AssetDescriptionInterface	,
		MAXON_REFERENCE_COPY_ON_WRITE	,
		"net.maxon.interface.assetdescription"	,
		MAXON_IMPLEMENTATION_MODULE("net.maxon.asset")
	)

◆ GetUrl()

MAXON_METHOD Result<const Url&> GetUrl ( ) const

Returns the Url where the asset is stored.

Returns: The Url of this asset, may be empty if the asset isn't accessible through a Url.

◆ Load() [1/2]

MAXON_METHOD Result<Asset> Load ( Bool * updateLinks ) const

Loads the asset. The implementation may use caching to avoid repeated loading of the same asset.

Parameters

[in,out] updateLinks nullptr if the asset shall be loaded as is, or a pointer to a Bool if asset links which use ASSET_UPDATE_POLICY::IMPLICIT shall be resolved to the latest version. The Bool is set to true by this method whenever there is a link where the resolved version differs from the original version.

Returns: The loaded asset.

◆ Load() [2/2]

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<Asset> Load ( ) const

Loads the asset, thereby updating asset links which use ASSET_UPDATE_POLICY::IMPLICIT to the latest version. The implementation may use caching to avoid repeated loading of the same asset.

Returns: The loaded asset.

◆ GetMetaData()

MAXON_METHOD const AssetMetaData& GetMetaData ( ) const

Returns the meta data of this asset.

Returns: The meta data of this asset.

◆ IsDeleted()

MAXON_METHOD Bool IsDeleted ( ) const

Returns true if this asset description is a delete marker. Delete markers are stored in repositories upon call of AssetRepositoryInterface::DeleteAsset to indicate a deleted asset, but previous asset versions still exist in the repository.

Returns: True if this description represents a delete marker, false otherwise.

◆ StoreMetaData() [1/3]

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<void> StoreMetaData	(	const InternedId &	attr,
		ForwardingDataPtr &&	data,
		AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND	kind
	)		const

Stores #data for the meta data attribute #attr of this asset. Observers of AssetRepositoryInterface::ObservableMetaDataStored of the repository of the asset and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters

[in]	attr	The meta data attribute.
[in]	data	The value to set.
[in]	kind	The kind of the meta data.

◆ StoreMetaData() [2/3]

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<void> StoreMetaData	(	const ATTR &	attr,
		typename ATTR::ValueType &&	data,
		AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND	kind
	)		const

Stores #data for the meta data attribute #attr of this asset. Observers of AssetRepositoryInterface::ObservableMetaDataStored of the repository of the asset and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters

[in]	attr	The meta data attribute.
[in]	data	The value to set.
[in]	kind	The kind of the meta data.

◆ StoreMetaData() [3/3]

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<void> StoreMetaData	(	const ATTR &	attr,
		const typename ATTR::ValueType &	data,
		AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND	kind
	)		const

Stores #data for the meta data attribute #attr of this asset. Observers of AssetRepositoryInterface::ObservableMetaDataStored of the repository of the asset and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters

[in]	attr	The meta data attribute.
[in]	data	The value to set.
[in]	kind	The kind of the meta data.

◆ EraseMetaData()

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<void> EraseMetaData	(	const ATTR &	attr,
		AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND	kind
	)		const

EraseMetaData removes meta data from the asset.

Parameters

[in]	attr	The meta data attribute.
[in]	kind	The kind of the meta data.

Returns: OK on success.

◆ StoreUrlMetaData()

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<void> StoreUrlMetaData	(	const InternedId &	metaId,
		const Url &	source,
		AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND	kind
	)		const

Copies the file or directory source as meta data for the meta data attribute #metaId of this #asset. The value of the meta data attribute will be a Url which points to the local copy within the asset (i.e., not to source) of the form {meta:///assetid/metaid.kind.extension}, so the file name extension of source gets preserved. Observers of ObservableMetaDataStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters

[in]	metaId	The identifier of the meta data attribute.
[in]	source	The source which shall be copied as meta data to #asset. Pass empty Url to erase meta data.
[in]	kind	The kind of the meta data.

◆ GetMetaString()

MAXON_METHOD Result<String> GetMetaString	(	const InternedId &	key,
		const LanguageRef &	languageRef = `GetPtrSizedZeroRef< LanguageRef >()`,
		const String &	fallback = `GetPtrSizedZeroRef< String >()`
	)		const

GetMetaString returns the translated string from a asset.

Parameters

[in]	key	Attribute id to load. e.g. OBJECT::BASE:NAME.
[in]	languageRef	Optional language. By default the function uses the current language.
[in]	fallback	Fallback string if the asset has no name.

Returns: String on success.

◆ StoreMetaString()

MAXON_METHOD Result<void> StoreMetaString	(	const InternedId &	key,
		const String &	value,
		const LanguageRef &	languageRef
	)		const

StoreMetaString stores the name of an asset for a language.

Parameters

[in]	key	Attribute id to save. e.g. OBJECT::BASE:NAME.
[in]	value	New string.
[in]	languageRef	Optional language. By default the function uses the current language.

Returns: OK on success.
