-Metadata
-========
-
-You can attach metadata for each project, task, user or for the whole application.
-Metadata are custom fields, it's a key/value table.
-
-For example your plugin can store external information for a task or new settings for a project.
-Basically that allow you to extend the default fields without having to create new tables.
-
-Attach metadata to tasks and remove them
-------------------------
-
-```php
-
-// Return a dictionary of metadata (keys/values) for the $task_id
-$this->taskMetadataModel->getAll($task_id);
-
-// Get a value only for a task
-$this->taskMetadataModel->get($task_id, 'my_plugin_variable', 'default_value');
-
-// Return true if the metadata my_plugin_variable exists
-$this->taskMetadataModel->exists($task_id, 'my_plugin_variable');
-
-// Create or update metadata for the task
-$this->taskMetadataModel->save($task_id, ['my_plugin_variable' => 'something']);
-
-// Remove a metadata from a project
-$this->projectMetadataModel->remove($project_id, my_plugin_variable);
-```
-
-Metadata types
---------------
-
-- TaskMetadata: `$this->taskMetadataModel`
-- ProjectMetadata: `$this->projectMetadataModel`
-- UserMetadata: `$this->userMetadataModel`

-
-Notes
