class SiteType

Maturity: 25

A simple enumeration-like class that defines constants for SharePoint site types.

File:

Lines:

Complexity:
simple

Purpose

SiteType serves as a constant container class to represent different types of SharePoint sites. It provides string constants for 'CommunicationSite' and 'TeamSite', which are commonly used when creating or identifying SharePoint site types. This class follows a pattern similar to an enumeration but uses class attributes instead of the Enum class.

Source Code

class SiteType:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    Communication = "CommunicationSite"

    Team = "TeamSite"

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases - -

Parameter Details

self: Standard instance reference for the constructor. No actual parameters are used in initialization as this class only serves as a constant container.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a SiteType object, though the class is typically used by accessing its class attributes directly (SiteType.Communication or SiteType.Team) rather than creating instances. The __init__ method returns None implicitly.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__(self)

Purpose: Initializes a SiteType instance. The constructor is empty and serves no functional purpose since the class is designed to be used via class attributes.

Parameters:

  • self: The instance being initialized

Returns: None (implicit)

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
Communication str String constant representing a SharePoint Communication Site type with value 'CommunicationSite' class
Team str String constant representing a SharePoint Team Site type with value 'TeamSite' class

Usage Example

# Access site type constants directly from the class
site_type = SiteType.Communication  # Returns 'CommunicationSite'
team_site_type = SiteType.Team  # Returns 'TeamSite'

# Can also instantiate (though not necessary for typical usage)
site_type_obj = SiteType()
print(site_type_obj.Communication)  # 'CommunicationSite'
print(site_type_obj.Team)  # 'TeamSite'

# Common usage in conditional logic
if my_site_type == SiteType.Communication:
    print('This is a communication site')
elif my_site_type == SiteType.Team:
    print('This is a team site')

Best Practices

  • Use class attributes directly (SiteType.Communication, SiteType.Team) rather than instantiating the class
  • This class is intended as a constant container, so do not modify the class attributes at runtime
  • Consider using Python's built-in Enum class for more robust enumeration behavior if extending functionality
  • The class can be instantiated but serves no practical purpose as all values are class-level attributes
  • Use these constants when working with SharePoint site creation or identification to ensure consistent string values
