Methods

Name Description
fromJSON(entityClassProps: EntityClassProps): Promise<void>    
fromJSONSync(entityClassProps: EntityClassProps): void    
getInheritedProperty(name: string): Promise<AnyProperty | undefined> Searches the base class, if one exists, first then any mixins that exist for the property with the name provided.  
getInheritedPropertySync(name: string): Property | undefined Searches the base class, if one exists, first then any mixins that exist for the property with the name provided.  
getMixinsSync(): Iterable<Mixin>    
toJSON(standalone: boolean = false, includeSchemaVersion: boolean = false): EntityClassProps Save this EntityClass' properties to an object for serializing to JSON.  
isEntityClass(item?: SchemaItem): item is EntityClass Static Type guard to check if the SchemaItem is of type EntityClass.

getPropertySync(name: string, excludeInherited?: boolean): Property | undefined Inherited ECClass Searches, case-insensitive, for a local ECProperty with the name provided.
is(targetClass: string, schemaName: string): Promise<boolean> Inherited ECClass Indicates if the targetClass is of this type.
is(targetClass: ECClass): Promise<boolean> Inherited ECClass Indicates if the targetClass is of this type.
isSync(targetClass: ECClass): boolean Inherited ECClass A synchronous version of the ECClass.is, indicating if the targetClass is of this type.
isSync(targetClass: string, schemaName: string): boolean Inherited ECClass A synchronous version of the ECClass.is, indicating if the targetClass is of this type.
traverseBaseClasses(callback: (ecClass: ECClass, arg?: any) => boolean, arg?: any): Promise<boolean> Inherited ECClass Asynchronously traverses through the inheritance tree, using depth-first traversal, calling the given callback
traverseBaseClassesSync(callback: (ecClass: ECClass, arg?: any) => boolean, arg?: any): boolean Inherited ECClass Synchronously traverses through the inheritance tree, using depth-first traversal, calling the given callback
equalByKey(thisSchemaItem: SchemaItem, thatSchemaItemOrKey?: SchemaItemKey | SchemaItem): boolean Static Inherited ECClass Indicates if the two SchemaItem objects are equal by comparing their respective key properties.
parseFullName(fullName: string): [string, string] Static Inherited ECClass Parses the given full name, {schemaName}.{schemaItemName} or {schemaName}:{schemaItemName}, into two separate strings.
