Metadata ======== You can attach metadata for each project, task and user. 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 $this->taskMetadata->getAll($task_id); // Get a value only for a task $this->taskMetadata->get($task_id, 'my_plugin_variable', 'default_value'); // Return true if the metadata my_plugin_variable exists $this->taskMetadata->exists($task_id, 'my_plugin_variable'); // Create or update metadata for the task $this->taskMetadata->save($task_id, ['my_plugin_variable' => 'something']); // Remove a metadata from a project $this->projectMetadata->remove($project_id, my_plugin_variable); ``` Metadata types -------------- - TaskMetadata: `$this->taskMetadata` - ProjectMetadata: `$this->projectMetadata` - UserMetadata: `$this->userMetadata` Notes ----- - Always prefix the metadata name with your plugin name
