geodesic.entanglement.object.get_traits¶
- geodesic.entanglement.object.get_traits(traits=None, refresh=False)[source]¶
Gets all registered traits and their predicates. A trait modifies an object class to allow certain kinds of connections between objects. For example, an “Observer” trait allows the “can-observe” predicate between two edges. If traits are specified, returns the predicates for each of these traits, if registered.
- Parameters
traits – a list of trait names to check
refresh – by default, these names are cached. If you want to grab the latest from the server, set refresh to True
- Returns
- a list of dictionaries with the keys ‘name’ and ‘predicates’. ‘predicates’ contains
a list of Predicate objects for that trait.
- Return type
traits
Example
>>> get_traits() [{'name': 'Correlator', 'predicates': [{'name': 'correlates-with']}, {'name': 'Linker', 'predicates': [{'name': 'links']}, {'name': 'Observer', 'predicates': ['name': 'can-observe']}]
