Items¶
Bases: Entry, HasOwner, HasRevisionControl, IsCollectable, HasBlocks, HasFiles, ABC
The generic model for data types that will be exposed with their own named endpoints.
Item is the abstract base shared by every physical item type: samples, cells,
starting materials and equipment. item_id is normally the only required field;
the remaining fields are either optional metadata or bookkeeping that the server
populates itself.
date: IsoformatDateTime | None
A relevant 'creation' timestamp for the entry (e.g., purchase date, synthesis date).
description: str | None
A description of the item, either in plain-text or a markup language.
item_id: HumanReadableIdentifier
A locally unique, human-readable identifier for the entry. This ID is mutable.
refcode: Refcode = None
A globally unique immutable ID comprised of the deployment prefix (e.g., grey)
and a locally unique string, ideally created with some consistent scheme.
