class ItemPath

Maturity: 22

ItemPath is a specialized path class that extends EntityPath, representing a path to an item entity in the Office365 API hierarchy.

Purpose

ItemPath serves as a path representation for item-level entities in the Office365 SDK. It inherits from EntityPath and provides a simplified constructor that automatically configures the path with the parent as both the parent and context. This class is used for navigating and referencing item resources within the Office365 API structure, particularly in scenarios where the item's path is determined by its parent entity.

Source Code

class ItemPath(EntityPath):
    """ """

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(ItemPath, self).__init__(None, parent, parent)

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases EntityPath -

Parameter Details

parent: The parent entity or path object that this ItemPath belongs to. This parameter is used to establish the hierarchical relationship in the Office365 entity structure. Can be None if the item has no parent. The parent is passed to the EntityPath constructor as both the parent and context parameters.

Return Value

Instantiation returns an ItemPath object that represents a path to an item entity. The object inherits all methods and attributes from EntityPath and can be used to navigate and reference item resources in the Office365 API hierarchy.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__(self, parent=None) -> None

Purpose: Initializes an ItemPath instance with an optional parent entity

Parameters:

  • parent: The parent entity or path object that this ItemPath belongs to. Defaults to None if not provided.

Returns: None - this is a constructor method

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
parent EntityPath or compatible path object The parent entity in the path hierarchy, inherited from EntityPath. Set during initialization and passed to the parent class constructor. instance

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.paths.v4.entity import EntityPath
from office365.runtime.paths.v4.item import ItemPath

Usage Example

from office365.runtime.paths.v4.item import ItemPath
from office365.runtime.paths.v4.entity import EntityPath

# Create a parent entity path
parent_path = EntityPath("parent_entity", None, None)

# Create an ItemPath with the parent
item_path = ItemPath(parent=parent_path)

# Create an ItemPath without a parent
orphan_item_path = ItemPath(parent=None)

# The ItemPath can now be used to navigate the Office365 entity hierarchy
# and reference item resources within the API structure

Best Practices

  • Always provide a valid parent entity when the item is part of a hierarchical structure to maintain proper path relationships
  • Use ItemPath when working with item-level entities in the Office365 API to ensure proper path resolution
  • The parent parameter should typically be an EntityPath or compatible path object from the Office365 SDK
  • ItemPath instances are typically created internally by the Office365 SDK during entity navigation, but can be instantiated directly when needed
  • Since ItemPath passes the parent as both the parent and context to EntityPath, ensure the parent object supports both roles in the entity hierarchy
