SearchAlias Class

Represents an index alias, which describes a mapping from the alias name to an index. The alias name can be used in place of the index name for supported operations.

All required parameters must be populated in order to send to server.

SearchAlias

Constructor

SearchAlias(*, name: str, indexes: List[str], e_tag: str | None = None, **kwargs: Any)

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name	Description
name	str The name of the alias. Required.
indexes	list[str] The name of the index this alias maps to. Only one index name may be specified. Required.
e_tag	str The ETag of the alias.

Variables

Name	Description
name	str The name of the alias. Required.
indexes	list[str] The name of the index this alias maps to. Only one index name may be specified. Required.
e_tag	str The ETag of the alias.

Methods

as_dict	Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump. Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter: Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object. The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict. See the three examples in this file: attribute_transformer full_restapi_key_transformer last_restapi_key_transformer If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.
deserialize	Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.
enable_additional_properties_sending
from_dict	Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model. By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)
is_xml_model
serialize	Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model. This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False). If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

as_dict

Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump.

Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter:

Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object.

The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict.

See the three examples in this file:

• attribute_transformer

• full_restapi_key_transformer

• last_restapi_key_transformer

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

as_dict(keep_readonly: bool = True, key_transformer: ~typing.Callable[[str, ~typing.Dict[str, ~typing.Any], ~typing.Any], ~typing.Any] = <function attribute_transformer>, **kwargs: ~typing.Any) -> MutableMapping[str, Any]

Parameters

Name	Description
keep_readonly	bool If you want to serialize the readonly attributes Default value: True
key_transformer	<xref:function> A key transformer function. Default value: True

Returns

Type	Description
dict	A dict JSON compatible object

deserialize

Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.

deserialize(data: Any, content_type: str | None = None) -> ModelType

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	str A str using RestAPI structure. JSON by default.
content_type Required	str JSON by default, set application/xml if XML. Default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
<xref:ModelType>	An instance of this model

Exceptions

Type	Description
DeserializationError	if something went wrong

enable_additional_properties_sending

enable_additional_properties_sending() -> None

from_dict

Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model.

By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)

from_dict(data: Any, key_extractors: Callable[[str, Dict[str, Any], Any], Any] | None = None, content_type: str | None = None) -> ModelType

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	dict A dict using RestAPI structure
key_extractors Required	<xref:function> A key extractor function. Default value: None
content_type Required	str JSON by default, set application/xml if XML. Default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
<xref:ModelType>	An instance of this model

Exceptions

Type	Description
DeserializationError	if something went wrong

is_xml_model

is_xml_model() -> bool

serialize

Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model.

This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False).

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

serialize(keep_readonly: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) -> MutableMapping[str, Any]

Parameters

Name	Description
keep_readonly	bool If you want to serialize the readonly attributes Default value: False

Returns

Type	Description
dict	A dict JSON compatible object
