Indicates that a type that should receive notifications of metadata updates.

Remarks

The Type specified by this attribute should implement static methods matching the signature of one or more of the following (visibility of the methods does not matter):

static void ClearCache(Type[]? updatedTypes)
static void UpdateApplication(Type[]? updatedTypes)

After a metadata update is applied, ClearCache is invoked for every handler that specifies one. This gives update handlers an opportunity to clear any caches that are inferred based on the application's metadata. After all ClearCache methods have been invoked, UpdateApplication is invoked for every handler that specifies one. This enables applications to refresh the application state, trigger a UI re-render, or other such reactions. When specified, the updatedTypes parameter contains the set of types that were affected by the metadata update; if it's null, any type may have been updated.
