class MicrofeedPostDefinition

Maturity: 24

MicrofeedPostDefinition is a data model class that represents a microfeed post definition in the Office365 API, inheriting from ClientValue to provide serialization capabilities.

Purpose

This class serves as a data transfer object (DTO) for microfeed post definitions in Office365 services. It inherits from ClientValue, which provides JSON serialization/deserialization capabilities for communication with Office365 REST APIs. The class is designed to hold structured data about microfeed posts and can be used to create, update, or retrieve microfeed post information from Office365 services.

Source Code

class MicrofeedPostDefinition(ClientValue):
    pass

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases ClientValue -

Parameter Details

bases: ClientValue - The parent class that provides core functionality for client-side value objects, including serialization, deserialization, and property management for Office365 API interactions

Return Value

Instantiation returns a MicrofeedPostDefinition object that can be used to represent microfeed post data. The object inherits all methods and properties from ClientValue, allowing it to be serialized to JSON for API requests and deserialized from API responses.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__()

Purpose: Initializes a new MicrofeedPostDefinition instance, inheriting all initialization from ClientValue

Returns: A new MicrofeedPostDefinition instance

set_property(name: str, value: any) -> ClientValue

Purpose: Sets a property value on the object (inherited from ClientValue)

Parameters:

  • name: The name of the property to set
  • value: The value to assign to the property

Returns: Returns self for method chaining

get_property(name: str, default_value: any = None) -> any

Purpose: Retrieves a property value from the object (inherited from ClientValue)

Parameters:

  • name: The name of the property to retrieve
  • default_value: The default value to return if property doesn't exist

Returns: The property value or default_value if not found

to_json() -> dict

Purpose: Serializes the object to a JSON-compatible dictionary (inherited from ClientValue)

Returns: A dictionary representation of the object suitable for JSON serialization

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
_properties dict Internal dictionary storing property values (inherited from ClientValue) instance

Dependencies

  • office365

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.sharepoint.microfeed.microfeed_post_definition import MicrofeedPostDefinition

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.microfeed.microfeed_post_definition import MicrofeedPostDefinition
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue

# Instantiate a MicrofeedPostDefinition object
post_def = MicrofeedPostDefinition()

# The class inherits from ClientValue, so it can be used with Office365 API calls
# Typically used in conjunction with SharePoint client context
# Example: Setting properties (inherited from ClientValue)
post_def.set_property('content', 'Sample microfeed post content')
post_def.set_property('author', 'user@example.com')

# Serialize to JSON for API transmission
post_json = post_def.to_json()

# The object can be passed to Office365 API methods that expect microfeed post definitions

Best Practices

  • This is a pass-through class that relies entirely on its parent ClientValue for functionality. Use it as a type-specific container for microfeed post data.
  • Always use the inherited set_property() and get_property() methods from ClientValue to manage attributes rather than direct attribute assignment.
  • The class is designed to work within the Office365 SDK ecosystem, so it should be used in conjunction with Office365 client context and authentication mechanisms.
  • When extending this class, add property definitions using the ClientValue property system to maintain compatibility with Office365 API serialization.
  • This class is typically instantiated by the Office365 SDK when deserializing API responses, but can also be manually created for API requests.
  • Ensure proper authentication and permissions are configured before using this class with Office365 services.
