Remarks

Templates use a subset of the syntax of the API platform. See https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/api/http.proto for details of the API platform.

This class performs no URL escaping or unescaping. It is designed for use within GRPC, where no URL encoding is required.

Constructors

PathTemplate(string)

public PathTemplate(string template)

Constructs a template from its textual representation, such as shelves//books/*.

Parameter
Name	Description
`template`	`string` The textual representation of the template. Must not be null.

Properties

ParameterCount

public int ParameterCount { get; }

The number of parameter segments (regular wildcards or path wildcards, named or unnamed) in the template.

Property Value
Type	Description
`int`

ParameterNames

public IReadOnlyList<string> ParameterNames { get; }

The names of the parameters within the template. This collection has one element per parameter, but unnamed parameters have a name of null.

Property Value
Type	Description
`IReadOnlyListstring`

Methods

Expand(params string[])

public string Expand(params string[] resourceIds)

Validates that the given resource IDs are valid for this template, and returns a string representation

Parameter
Name	Description
`resourceIds`	`string` The resource IDs to use to populate the parameters in this template. Must not be null.

Returns
Type	Description
`string`	The string representation of the resource name.

Remarks

This is equivalent to calling new ResourceName(template, resourceIds).ToString(), but simpler in calling code and more efficient in terms of memory allocation.

This method assumes no service name is required. Call ExpandWithService(string, params string[]) to specify a service name.

ExpandWithService(string, params string[])

public string ExpandWithService(string serviceName, params string[] resourceIds)

Validates that the given resource IDs are valid for this template, and returns a string representation

Parameters
Name	Description
`serviceName`	`string` The service name, which may be null.
`resourceIds`	`string` The resource IDs to use to populate the parameters in this template. Must not be null.

Returns
Type	Description
`string`	The string representation of the resource name.

ParseName(string)

public TemplatedResourceName ParseName(string name)

Attempts to parse the given resource name against this template, throwing ArgumentException on failure.

Parameter
Name	Description
`name`	`string` The resource name to parse against this template. Must not be null.

Returns
Type	Description
`TemplatedResourceName`	The parsed name as a TemplatedResourceName.

ToString()

public override string ToString()

Returns the textual representation of this template.

Returns
Type	Description
`string`	The same textual representation that this template was initially constructed with.

Overrides

object.ToString()

TryParseName(string, out TemplatedResourceName)

public bool TryParseName(string name, out TemplatedResourceName result)

Attempts to parse the given resource name against this template, returning null on failure.

Parameters
Name	Description
`name`	`string` The resource name to parse against this template. Must not be null.
`result`	`TemplatedResourceName` When this method returns, the parsed resource name or `null` if parsing fails.

Returns
Type	Description
`bool`	`true` if the name was parsed successfully; `false` otherwise.

Remarks

Although this method returns null if a name is passed in which doesn't match the template, it still throws ArgumentNullException if name is null, as this would usually indicate a programming error rather than a data error.
