[SOLVED] Enumerating Property Types and Object Types before opening a Document?

[Bayesian]

Because I want to simplify my scripts and enable Autocompletion etc, I'd like to have an import module with all supported property and object types.

I know I can get the property Types from, for example a Body object with "body.supportedProperties()" and the supported object types from "document.supportedObjects()".

But that means I would have to create a document and/or an Object to enumerate those. Which works, but isn't exactly elegant.

Is there some kind of registry available?

This information is not exposed. Exposing it might need quite some work.
Listing all attributes is easy. Listing all properties is more difficult. Listing supported objects for a body is doable, but in general it might be not.

Hm. So there are basically two options: prepare a list offline (which doesn't account for new or nonstandard workbenches) or use the create a document and an object method.

Yes, the central registry is the C++ class Type. At the moment we don't offer a way to access it from Python but it shouldn't be too difficult to implement a way.

git commit e1f85cd09
git commit d61bf15c4

Code: Select all

t=App.Base.TypeId
t.getNumTypes()

p=t.fromName("App::DocumentObject")
p.Key
print(p)

p1=t.fromKey(97)
p1.Name

p.Name
p.isDerivedFrom("Base::BaseClass")
p.Module

pp=p.getParent()
pp.Name
pp.isBad()

b=t.getBadType()
b.Name

I know I can get the property Types from, for example a Body object with "body.supportedProperties()" and the supported object types from "document.supportedObjects()".

This can be done now with:

Code: Select all

App.Base.TypeId.getAllDerivedFrom("App::Property")
App.Base.TypeId.getAllDerivedFrom("App::DocumentObject")

Thank you, I'm sure this will be useful!

Awesome!
