A data class representing an activity identity item in SharePoint Activities, inheriting from ClientValue to provide serialization capabilities for SharePoint API interactions.

Purpose

This class serves as a data transfer object (DTO) for SharePoint activity identity information. It encapsulates a client identifier and provides the necessary metadata for serialization/deserialization when communicating with SharePoint's Activities API. The class is designed to be used as part of the Office365 Python SDK for tracking and managing activity identities within SharePoint.

Source Code

class ActivityIdentityItem(ClientValue):
    def __init__(self, client_id=None):
        """
        :param str client_id:
        """
        self.clientId = client_id

    @property
    def entity_type_name(self):
        return "Microsoft.SharePoint.Activities.ActivityIdentityItem"

Parameters

Parameter Details

client_id: A string identifier representing the client associated with this activity identity. This parameter is optional and defaults to None. It typically contains a unique identifier (such as a GUID or user ID) that links the activity to a specific client or user in the SharePoint system.

Return Value

Instantiation returns an ActivityIdentityItem object with the clientId attribute set to the provided value (or None if not provided). The entity_type_name property returns the string 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Activities.ActivityIdentityItem', which is used for type identification in SharePoint API communications.

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue

Usage Example

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.sharepoint.activities.activity_identity_item import ActivityIdentityItem

# Create an activity identity item with a client ID
activity_identity = ActivityIdentityItem(client_id="user123@contoso.com")

# Access the client ID
print(activity_identity.clientId)  # Output: user123@contoso.com

# Get the entity type name for API serialization
print(activity_identity.entity_type_name)  # Output: Microsoft.SharePoint.Activities.ActivityIdentityItem

# Create an activity identity item without a client ID
empty_identity = ActivityIdentityItem()
print(empty_identity.clientId)  # Output: None

Best Practices

• This class is primarily used as a data container and should not contain business logic
• The clientId should be set during instantiation or immediately after to ensure the object represents a valid identity
• This class inherits from ClientValue, which provides serialization capabilities for SharePoint API calls - do not override serialization methods unless necessary
• The entity_type_name property should not be modified as it's used by the SharePoint API for type identification
• When using this class with SharePoint API calls, ensure the client_id format matches the expected format by the SharePoint Activities API (typically email addresses or GUIDs)
• This is an immutable-style class - once created, the clientId can be modified but should represent a consistent identity throughout its lifecycle
