opts?	ProcedureOpts

Returns

Promise<GenericPolymeshTransaction<void, void>>

Throws

• if the Metadata doesn't exists
  • if the Metadata value is locked

Note

this method is of type NoArgsProcedureMethod, which means you can call clear.checkAuthorization on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

details

▸ details(): Promise<MetadataDetails>

Retrieve name and specs for this MetadataEntry

Returns

Promise<MetadataDetails>

exists

▸ exists(): Promise<boolean>

Determine whether this MetadataEntry exists on chain

Returns

Promise<boolean>

Overrides

Entity.exists

remove

▸ remove(opts?): Promise<GenericPolymeshTransaction<void, void>>

Removes a local Asset Metadata key along with its value

Parameters

Name	Type
opts?	ProcedureOpts

Returns

Promise<GenericPolymeshTransaction<void, void>>

Note

A global Metadata key cannot be deleted

Throws

• if the Metadata type is global
  • if the Metadata doesn't exists
  • if the Metadata value is locked
  • if the Metadata is a mandatory key for any NFT Collection

Note

this method is of type NoArgsProcedureMethod, which means you can call remove.checkAuthorization on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

Defined in

api/entities/MetadataEntry/index.ts:138

---

set

▸ set(args, opts?): Promise<GenericPolymeshTransaction<MetadataEntry, MetadataEntry>>

Assign new value for the MetadataEntry along with its details or optionally only set the details (expiry + lock status) of any Metadata value

Parameters

Name	Type
args	SetMetadataParams
opts?	ProcedureOpts

Returns

Promise<GenericPolymeshTransaction<MetadataEntry, MetadataEntry>>

Note

• Value or the details can only be set if the MetadataEntry is not locked

Note

this method is of type ProcedureMethod, which means you can call set.checkAuthorization on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

Defined in
