SdkItem class and ISdkItem interface

ASP.NET Core

The SdkItem class is the base class for working with the IRestClient interface and Sitefinity content. You can use this class for all kinds of content - both static and dynamic. It is useful when the model is not known in advance, or the model will be changed in the future.

The class has:

• Static properties - Id and Provider
  These properties are always present for any kind of Sitefinity content items. You can also use them for other calls to the REST API.
• Method GetValue
  The method provides access to any kind of defined fields on the server.

For examples of different kinds of fields that this method supports, see Autogenerated field types.

The SdkItem class holds the following signature:

/// <summary>
/// Interface used to work with Sitefinity DTO objects.
/// </summary>
public class SdkItem : ISdkItem
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the id.
    /// </summary>
    string Id { get; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the provider name.
    /// </summary>
    string Provider { get; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a value from the item with the provided field name.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the parameter.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="fieldName">The name of the field.</param>
    /// <returns>The value of the field.</returns>
    public T GetValue<T>(string fieldName)
}
