Detailed Description

Class for storing generic metadata.

This class stores key/value pairs, like a Python dictionary but in C++. Keys are always C++ strings. Values can be C++ primitive data types, strings, lsst::daf::base::DateTime objects, and lsst::daf::base::Persistable subclasses (although the latter is currently discouraged). Values can also be vectors of these items.

PropertySets are hierarchical; values within a PropertySet that is contained within another PropertySet can be addressed using dotted paths ("a.b.c"). If "flat=true" is specified to the constructor, the PropertySet still takes dotted paths but is not actually hierarchical in structure. This is used to support PropertyList.

◆ add() [1/3]

void lsst::daf::base::PropertySet::add	(	std::string const &	name,

Parameters

[in]	name	Property name to append to, possibly hierarchical.
[in]	value	Character string value to append.

Exceptions

TypeError	Type does not match existing values.
InvalidParameterError	Hierarchical name uses non-PropertySet.

◆ add() [2/3]

template<typename T >

void lsst::daf::base::PropertySet::add	(	std::string const &	name,
		std::vector< T > const &	value )

Append a vector of values to the vector of values for a property name (possibly hierarchical).

Sets the values if the property does not exist.

Parameters

[in]	name	Property name to append to, possibly hierarchical.
[in]	value	Vector of values to append.

Exceptions

TypeError	Type does not match existing values.
InvalidParameterError	Hierarchical name uses non-PropertySet.

Note: May only partially add the vector if an exception occurs.

◆ add() [3/3]

template<typename T >

void lsst::daf::base::PropertySet::add	(	std::string const &	name,
		T const &	value )

Append a single value to the vector of values for a property name (possibly hierarchical).

Parameters

[in]	name	Property name to append to, possibly hierarchical.
[in]	value	Value to append.

Exceptions

TypeError	Type does not match existing values.
InvalidParameterError	Hierarchical name uses non-PropertySet.

If value is a PropertySet, the default implementation will allow it to be retreived later via get (or other methods) using the given name, and the result will be the same shared_ptr passed in, but this is not guaranteed to be the behavior for all derived classes, which may flatten out PropertySet values instead.

Parameters

[in] source PropertySet to extract values from.

Exceptions

TypeError	Type does not match existing values for an item.
InvalidParameterError	Hierarchical name uses non-PropertySet.

Warning: May only partially combine the PropertySets if an exception occurs.
