Interface IDeliveryApiPropertyValueConverter

Namespace: Umbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors.DeliveryApi

Assembly: Umbraco.Core.dll

Syntax

public interface IDeliveryApiPropertyValueConverter : IPropertyValueConverter, IDiscoverable

Methods

ConvertIntermediateToDeliveryApiObject(IPublishedElement, IPublishedPropertyType, PropertyCacheLevel, Object, Boolean, Boolean)

Converts a property intermediate value to an Object value for Delivery API representation.

Declaration

object ConvertIntermediateToDeliveryApiObject(IPublishedElement owner, IPublishedPropertyType propertyType, PropertyCacheLevel referenceCacheLevel, object inter, bool preview, bool expanding)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedElement	owner	The property set owning the property.
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.
PropertyCacheLevel	referenceCacheLevel	The reference cache level.
System.Object	inter	The intermediate value.
System.Boolean	preview	A value indicating whether conversion should take place in preview mode.
System.Boolean	expanding	A value indicating whether the property value should be expanded (if applicable).

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	The result of the conversion.

Remarks

The converter should know how to convert a null intermediate value, or any intermediate value indicating that no value has been assigned to the property. It is up to the converter to determine what to return in that case: either null, or the default value...

The referenceCacheLevel is passed to the converter so that it can be, in turn, passed to eg a PublishedFragment constructor. It is used by the fragment and the properties to manage the cache levels of property values. It is not meant to be used by the converter.

GetDeliveryApiPropertyCacheLevel(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets the property cache level for Delivery API representation.

Declaration

PropertyCacheLevel GetDeliveryApiPropertyCacheLevel(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
PropertyCacheLevel	The property cache level.

GetDeliveryApiPropertyCacheLevelForExpansion(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets the property cache level for Delivery API representation when expanding the property.

Declaration

virtual PropertyCacheLevel GetDeliveryApiPropertyCacheLevelForExpansion(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
PropertyCacheLevel	The property cache level.

Remarks

Defaults to the value of GetDeliveryApiPropertyCacheLevel(IPublishedPropertyType).

GetDeliveryApiPropertyValueType(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets the type of values returned by the converter for Delivery API representation.

Declaration

Type GetDeliveryApiPropertyValueType(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
Type	The CLR type of values returned by the converter.

Remarks

Some of the CLR types may be generated, therefore this method cannot directly return a Type object (which may not exist yet). In which case it needs to return a ModelType instance.
