Get Entity Metadata when you already have a GE Object. This is a synchronous function that returns the entity metadata.
Code Block // Assumes you already have a variable called 'ge' holding a GE Object. var entityMd = ge.getEntityMetaDataentityMetaData();
Get Entity Metadata knowing the Entity Name using Aptify.framework.metaData.entities.loadEntity(). This is an asynchronous function that passes the entity metadata into its callback.
Code Block var entityName = "Persons"; Aptify.framework.metaData.entities.loadEntity(entityName, function (entityMd) { // entityMd contains the entity metadata });
Get Entity Metadata knowing the Entity ID using Aptify.framework.metaData.entities.loadEntityById(). This is an asynchronous function that passes the entity metadata into its callback.
Note Because Entity IDs are not reliable cross-database, we don't recommend this as a primary approach. However, when you are in a situation in which some other part of the system has provided the Entity ID, this method is handy.
Code Block var entityId = 1006; Aptify.framework.metaData.entities.loadEntityById(entityId, function (entityMd) { // entityMd contains the entity metadata });
