StructureType

Can this model element be removed by DataService.refreshMetadata. Defaults to false. Set this to true to indicate that the application is coded to be able able to function correctly without this model element.

Has this model element been removed by a successful call to DataService.refreshMetadata? If `isRemoved == true, that implies that the old metadata (before refreshMetadata was called) did include this model element, and that the new metadata (after refreshMetadata was called) does not include this model element.

The local name of this type within its owning DataSchema, e.g. MyType.

The name of this type qualified by its owning DataSchema name, e.g. MySchema.MyType.

Factory for creating custom (subclass) objects with this type.

true if this is an abstract type.

true if this is an open type. An open type can have dynamic properties.

List of stream, structural and navigation properties for this type.

Map of stream, structural and navigation properties for this type.

List of stream properties for this type.

List of complex properties for this type (a subset of structuralProperties).

List of structural properties for this type.

List of navigation properties for this type.

List of extension properties for this type. Includes extension structural/navigation properties.

true if this type was added since metadata was originally loaded.

true if this structure type was inferred due to a missing term definition in the CSDL.

Default initializer.

Lookup an existing type annotation by term name.

List of annotations for this type.

Map of annotations for this type.

Synonym for qualifiedName.

Lookup an existing property by name. If the property does not exist it indicates a fundamental implementation problem, therefore a non-catchable FatalException will be thrown, and the app intentionally crashes. The reason behind this drastic behaviour is to avoid mismatch between server and client. It is still possible to avoid the FatalException by looking up propery before calling this method like in the following code snippet:

Example checking if a property exists

open func checkPropertyExistsExample() throws -> Void {
    let service = self.service
    let entitySet = service.entitySet(withName: "Employees")
    let entityType = entitySet.entityType
    let propMap = entityType.propertyMap
    if propMap.keys().includes(item: "BirthDate") {
        _ = entityType.property(withName: "BirthDate")
    } else {
    }
}
