The Asset Framework

Description

Provides interfaces for accessing and storing content as assets in asset databases.

Interfaces

AssetBaseInterface(*args)	The base interface of maxon.AssetBaseWithUpdateInterface and maxon.AssetDescriptionInterface.
AssetBaseWithUpdateInterface(*args)	The base interface of maxon.AssetInterface and maxon.AssetReferenceInterface.
AssetDataBasesInterface(*args)	This interface provides helper functions to register asset repositories.
AssetDescriptionInterface(*args)	Represents all meta information about an asset, namely its identifier and version, the maxon.AssetMetaData and some further information.
AssetIdentifierInterface(*args)	The base interface of maxon.AssetBaseInterface and maxon.AssetLinkInterface.
AssetInterface(*args)	An Asset represents digital content which can be managed by an maxon.AssetRepositoryRef “asset repository”.
AssetLinkInterface(*args)	An AssetLink is a symbolic link to an asset identified by its id and version.
AssetMetaDataInterface(*args)	maxon.AssetMetaData allows to query the meta data of an asset.
AssetReferenceInterface(*args)	maxon.AssetReference is needed for the asset update mechanism and represents a specific updatable maxon.AssetLink within an asset, see AssetInterface.GetReferencedAssets().
AssetRepositoryInterface(*args)	An AssetRepositoryInterface manages a set of assets: - Assets can be looked up using their identifier and version.
AssetTypeInterface(*args)	Creates and stores internally the reference of the C++ Data.
AssetUtilitiesInterface()	Helper Interface for Asset functions.
BasePresetAssetInterface(*args)	maxon.BasePresetAssetInterface allows to implement details for preset assets.
BasePresetAssetTypeInterface(*args)	Defines a new preset type and is the connector to BasePresetAssetInterface
CategoryAssetInterface(*args)	Implementation of category assets
ColorCategoryAssetInterface(*args)	Implementation of a color category asset.
CompactableAssetRepositoryInterface(*args)	Repository which allows to write an index.
DatabaseAssetInterface(*args)	Implementation of DatabaseAsset.
DataDescriptionPresetStorageInterface()	Helper class to handle loading and saving of presets.
DerivedAssetRepositoryDataInterface(*args)	Creates and stores internally the reference of the C++ Data.
FileAssetInterface(*args)	Creates and stores internally the reference of the C++ Data.
KeywordAssetInterface(*args)	Creates and stores internally the reference of the C++ Data.
LazyLanguageDictionaryInterface(*args)	Interface to manage lazy loading of maxon.LanguageDictionary for description strings.
LazyLanguageStringDataDescriptionDefinitionInterface(*args)	Interface to manage lazy loading of maxon.LanguageStringDataDescriptionDefinition for description strings.
NodeSpaceAssetInterface(*args)	Implementation of NodeSpaceAssets
PluginAssetInterface(*args)	Implements the PluginAsset type
SmartSearchAssetInterface(*args)	Implements the smartsearch asset type.
SubTypeAssetInterface(*args)	Implements the SubTypeAsset.
UpdatableAssetInterface(*args)	An maxon.UpdatableAsset is an maxon.Asset which supports the update of its updatable references to other assets to newer versions.
UpdatableAssetRepositoryInterface(*args)	Asset repository which allows to update assets.
UrlAssetRepositoryInterface(*args)	Creates and stores internally the reference of the C++ Data.
