Any dataclass attribute is available as a property of an entity, which stores the attribute value for the entity.
Note: Dataclass attributes can also be reached using the alternate syntax with [ ].
The attribute value type depends on the attribute kind (relation or storage):
- If attributeName kind is storage:
entity.attributeName returns a value of the same type as attributeName.
- If attributeName kind is relatedEntity:
entity.attributeName returns the related entity. Values of the related entity are directly available through cascading properties, for example "myEntity.employer.employees[0].lastname".
- If attributeName kind is relatedEntities:
entity.attributeName returns a new entity selection of related entities. Duplications are removed (an unordered entity selection is returned).
Note: For more information on attribute kinds, please refer to the dataClassAttribute.kind property description.
C_OBJECT($myEntity)
$myEntity:=ds.Employee.new() //Create a new object of the entity type
$myEntity.name:="Dupont" // assign 'Dupont' to the 'name' attribute
$myEntity.firstname:="John" //assign 'John' to the 'firstname' attribute
$myEntity.save() //save the entity
