class DeltaPath

Maturity: 34

DeltaPath is a specialized path class that represents a 'delta' entity path in the Office365 SDK, inheriting from EntityPath.

Purpose

This class provides a specific implementation of EntityPath for handling delta query paths in Microsoft Graph API or Office365 services. Delta queries are used to track changes in resources over time. The class encapsulates the path construction logic for delta endpoints, automatically setting the path segment to 'delta' and managing parent relationships.

Source Code

class DeltaPath(EntityPath):
    """Delta path"""

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(DeltaPath, self).__init__("delta", parent, parent)

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases EntityPath -

Parameter Details

parent: Optional parent path object that this DeltaPath is nested under. Used to build hierarchical path structures in the Office365 API. Defaults to None if this is a root-level delta path. The parent is passed to both the EntityPath constructor's parent and delimiter parameters.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a DeltaPath object configured with the 'delta' segment name and the specified parent relationship. The object inherits all methods and properties from EntityPath for path manipulation and traversal.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__(self, parent=None) -> None

Purpose: Initializes a DeltaPath instance with the 'delta' segment and optional parent path

Parameters:

  • parent: Optional parent EntityPath object for building hierarchical paths. Defaults to None.

Returns: None - constructor initializes the instance

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
_name str Inherited from EntityPath, stores the segment name 'delta' instance
_parent EntityPath or None Inherited from EntityPath, stores the parent path object if provided instance

Dependencies

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.paths.v4.entity import EntityPath
from office365.runtime.paths.v4.delta import DeltaPath

Usage Example

from office365.runtime.paths.v4.delta import DeltaPath
from office365.runtime.paths.v4.entity import EntityPath

# Create a standalone delta path
delta_path = DeltaPath()

# Create a delta path with a parent entity
parent_entity = EntityPath('users')
delta_path_with_parent = DeltaPath(parent=parent_entity)

# The delta path can be used to construct API endpoints for delta queries
# Example: /users/delta for tracking changes in users collection

Best Practices

  • Use DeltaPath when constructing endpoints for delta queries in Office365/Microsoft Graph API to track changes over time
  • Always ensure the parent parameter is an appropriate EntityPath object if building nested path structures
  • DeltaPath is immutable after construction - create new instances for different paths rather than modifying existing ones
  • The class automatically handles the 'delta' segment naming, so you don't need to specify it manually
  • Understand that this is part of a larger path hierarchy system in the Office365 SDK and should be used within that context
  • Delta queries typically require proper token management for pagination and change tracking - ensure your authentication context supports this
