Detailed Description

An identifier for a DittoDocument

Each DittoDocumentID represents a unique identifier for a document.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DittoDocumentID()

DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.DittoDocumentID ( object  value)
inline

Initializes a new instance of the DittoDocumentID class.

A document ID can be created from any of the following:

  • string
  • integer
  • boolean
  • null
  • byte array
  • array (containing any of the items in this list)
  • map (where the keys must be strings and the values can be made up of any of the items in this list)

Note that you cannot use floats or other custom types to create a document ID.

Document IDs are also limited in size, based on their serialized representation, to 256 bytes. You will receive an error if you try to create a document ID that exceeds the size limit.

Parameters
valueThe value that represents the document identifier.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Equals()

override bool DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.Equals ( object  other)
inline

Returns whether or not two DittoDocumentIDs are equal.

Parameters
otherThe other DittoDocumentID to compare against for equality.
Returns
A bool denoting whether or not the DittoDocumentIDs were equal.

◆ ToNative()

object DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.ToNative ( )
inline

Returns a native representation of a document identifier.

Returns
A value representing the document identifier.

◆ ToString()

override string DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.ToString ( )
inline

Returns a stringified representation of a document identifier.

The returned string can be used directly in queries that you use with other Ditto functions. For example you could create a query that was like this:

myCollection.find($"_id == {docID.ToString()}")

Returns
An stringified representation of the document identifier.

Property Documentation

◆ this[int index]

DittoDocumentIDPath DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.this[int index]
get

Used to specify an index in the array that represents the document ID. You can subscript the return value further to access a further nested key in the document ID, if necessary.

Parameters
indexThe index of the array representing the document ID that you wish to access.
Returns
A DITDocumentIDPath object with the provided index incorporated into the document ID path.

◆ this[string path]

DittoDocumentIDPath DittoSDK.DittoDocumentID.this[string path]
get

Used to specify a path to a key in the document ID that you can subscript further to access a nested key in the document ID, if necessary.

Parameters
pathThe initial part of the path needed to get to the key in the document ID you wish to get the value of.
Returns
A DittoDocumentIDPath object with the provided key incorporated into the document ID path.
