BasicRelationship Class

Definition

Although relationships have a user-defined schema, these properties should exist on every instance. This is useful to use as a base class to ensure your custom relationships have the necessary properties.

public class BasicRelationship
type BasicRelationship = class
Public Class BasicRelationship
Inheritance
BasicRelationship

Examples

Here's an example of how to use the BasicRelationship helper class to serialize and create a relationship from a building digital twin to a floor digital twin.

var buildingFloorRelationshipPayload = new BasicRelationship
{
    Id = "buildingFloorRelationshipId",
    SourceId = "buildingTwinId",
    TargetId = "floorTwinId",
    Name = "contains",
    Properties =
    {
        { "Prop1", "Prop1 value" },
        { "Prop2", 6 }
    }
};

Response<BasicRelationship> createBuildingFloorRelationshipResponse = await client
    .CreateOrReplaceRelationshipAsync<BasicRelationship>("buildingTwinId", "buildingFloorRelationshipId", buildingFloorRelationshipPayload);
Console.WriteLine($"Created a digital twin relationship '{createBuildingFloorRelationshipResponse.Value.Id}' " +
    $"from twin '{createBuildingFloorRelationshipResponse.Value.SourceId}' to twin '{createBuildingFloorRelationshipResponse.Value.TargetId}'.");

Here's an example of how to use the BasicRelationship helper class to get and deserialize a relationship.

Response<BasicRelationship> getBasicRelationshipResponse = await client.GetRelationshipAsync<BasicRelationship>(
    "buildingTwinId",
    "buildingFloorRelationshipId");
if (getBasicRelationshipResponse.GetRawResponse().Status == (int)HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
    BasicRelationship basicRelationship = getBasicRelationshipResponse.Value;
    Console.WriteLine($"Retrieved relationship '{basicRelationship.Id}' from twin {basicRelationship.SourceId}.\n\t" +
        $"Prop1: {basicRelationship.Properties["Prop1"]}\n\t" +
        $"Prop2: {basicRelationship.Properties["Prop2"]}");
}

Remarks

This helper class will only work with System.Text.Json. When used with the ObjectSerializer, parameter to DigitalTwinsClientOptions it will only work with the default (JsonObjectSerializer).

ETag

A string representing a weak ETag for the entity that this request performs an operation against, as per RFC7232.

Id

The unique Id of the relationship. This field is present on every relationship.

Name

The name of the relationship, which defines the type of link (e.g. Contains). This field is present on every relationship.

Properties

Additional, custom properties defined in the DTDL model. This property will contain any relationship properties that are not already defined in this class.

SourceId

The unique Id of the source digital twin. This field is present on every relationship.

TargetId

The unique Id of the target digital twin. This field is present on every relationship.
