  1. 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();

  2. 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
});

  3. 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
});
