GetPagedRelationsAsync(Guid, int, int)

Gets a paged result of items which are in relation with the current data type.

Declaration

Task<PagedModel<RelationItemModel>> GetPagedRelationsAsync(Guid key, int skip, int take)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Guid	key	The identifier of the data type to retrieve relations for.
int	skip	The amount of items to skip
int	take	The amount of items to take.

Returns

Type	Description

Remarks

Note that the model and method signature here aligns with with how we handle retrieval of concrete Umbraco relations based on documents, media and members in ITrackedReferencesService. The intention is that we align data type relations with these so they can be handled polymorphically at the management API and backoffice UI level.
