Properties

Attributes

Exposed resource attributes. See https://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-attributes. When using resource inheritance, this includes the attributes from base types.

public IReadOnlyCollection<AttrAttribute> Attributes { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyCollection<AttrAttribute>

BaseType

The base resource type, in case this is a derived type.

public ResourceType? BaseType { get; }

Property Value

ResourceType

ClientIdGeneration

Whether API clients are allowed or required to provide IDs when creating resources of this type. When null, the value from global options applies.

public ClientIdGenerationMode? ClientIdGeneration { get; }

Property Value

ClientIdGenerationMode?

ClrType

The CLR type of the resource.

public Type ClrType { get; }

Property Value

Type

DirectlyDerivedTypes

The resource types that directly derive from this one.

public IReadOnlySet<ResourceType> DirectlyDerivedTypes { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlySet<ResourceType>

EagerLoads

Related entities that are not exposed as resource relationships. When using resource inheritance, this includes the eager-loads from base types.

public IReadOnlyCollection<EagerLoadAttribute> EagerLoads { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyCollection<EagerLoadAttribute>

Fields

Exposed resource attributes and relationships. See https://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-fields. When using resource inheritance, this includes the attributes and relationships from base types.

public IReadOnlyCollection<ResourceFieldAttribute> Fields { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyCollection<ResourceFieldAttribute>

IdentityClrType

The CLR type of the resource identity.

public Type IdentityClrType { get; }

Property Value

Type

PublicName

The publicly exposed resource name.

public string PublicName { get; }

Property Value

string

RelationshipLinks

Configures which links to write in the relationship-level links object for all relationships of this resource type. Defaults to NotConfigured, which falls back to RelationshipLinks in global options. This can be overruled per relationship by setting Links.

public LinkTypes RelationshipLinks { get; }

Property Value

LinkTypes

Remarks

In the process of building the resource graph, this value is set based on RelationshipLinks usage.

Relationships

Exposed resource relationships. See https://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-relationships. When using resource inheritance, this includes the relationships from base types.

public IReadOnlyCollection<RelationshipAttribute> Relationships { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyCollection<RelationshipAttribute>

ResourceLinks

Configures which links to write in the resource-level links object for this resource type. Defaults to NotConfigured, which falls back to ResourceLinks in global options.

public LinkTypes ResourceLinks { get; }

Property Value

LinkTypes

Remarks

In the process of building the resource graph, this value is set based on ResourceLinks usage.

TopLevelLinks

Configures which links to write in the top-level links object for this resource type. Defaults to NotConfigured, which falls back to TopLevelLinks in global options.

public LinkTypes TopLevelLinks { get; }

Property Value

LinkTypes

Remarks

In the process of building the resource graph, this value is set based on TopLevelLinks usage.
