Purpose

This class serves as a data transfer object (DTO) for SharePoint Portal channel information. It extends ClientValue to enable proper serialization/deserialization when communicating with SharePoint REST APIs. The class identifies itself as a 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo' entity type, which is used by the SharePoint client library to properly handle channel-related data structures in API requests and responses.

Source Code

class ChannelInfo(ClientValue):
    @property
    def entity_type_name(self):
        return "Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo"

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases ClientValue -

Parameter Details

__init__: Inherits constructor from ClientValue base class. The base class typically accepts keyword arguments that map to the entity's properties as defined by the SharePoint API schema.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a ChannelInfo object that can be used to represent SharePoint channel data. The entity_type_name property returns the string 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo', which identifies the SharePoint entity type for API serialization.

Class Interface

Methods

@property entity_type_name(self) -> str property

Purpose: Returns the SharePoint entity type identifier for this class, used by the Office365 SDK for proper serialization and API communication

Returns: String 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo' identifying the SharePoint entity type

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
entity_type_name str Read-only property that returns the SharePoint entity type name 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo', used for API serialization instance

Dependencies

  • office365

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.sharepoint.portal.channel_info import ChannelInfo

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.portal.channel_info import ChannelInfo
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue

# Instantiate a ChannelInfo object
channel = ChannelInfo()

# Access the entity type name (used internally by the SDK)
entity_type = channel.entity_type_name
print(entity_type)  # Output: Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ChannelInfo

# Typically used within SharePoint context operations
# Example: When retrieving or creating channels in SharePoint
# ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(credentials)
# channel_info = ChannelInfo()
# Set properties as needed based on SharePoint API requirements

Best Practices

  • This class is primarily used internally by the Office365 SDK for SharePoint operations and should be instantiated when working with SharePoint channel data
  • The entity_type_name property should not be modified as it's used for proper API serialization
  • Inherit from this class if you need to extend channel information with custom properties
  • Use this class in conjunction with SharePoint ClientContext for proper authentication and API communication
  • Properties should be set according to the SharePoint Portal Channel API schema
  • This is a lightweight data container - avoid adding business logic to instances
