# openstack.image.v2.metadef_resource_type

## The MetadefResourceType Class

The `MetadefResourceType` class inherits from `Resource`.

class openstack.image.v2.metadef_resource_type.MetadefResourceType(_synchronized=False, connection=None, **attrs)

  The base resource

  Parameters:

    - _synchronized (bool) – This is not intended to be used directly. See `new()` and `existing()`.

    - connection (openstack.connection.Connection) – Reference to the Connection being used. Defaults to None to allow Resource objects to be used without an active Connection, such as in unit tests. Use of `self._connection` in Resource code should protect itself with a check for None.

  resources_key = 'resource_types'

    Plural form of key for resource.

  base_path = '/metadefs/resource_types'

    The base part of the URI for this resource.

  allow_list = True

    Allow list operation for this resource.

  name

    The name of metadata definition resource type

  created_at

    The date and time when the resource type was created.

  updated_at

    The date and time when the resource type was updated.

## The MetadefResourceTypeAssociation Class

The `MetadefResourceTypeAssociation` class inherits from `Resource`.

class openstack.image.v2.metadef_resource_type.MetadefResourceTypeAssociation(_synchronized=False, connection=None, **attrs)

  The base resource

  Parameters:

    - _synchronized (bool) – This is not intended to be used directly. See `new()` and `existing()`.

    - connection (openstack.connection.Connection) – Reference to the Connection being used. Defaults to None to allow Resource objects to be used without an active Connection, such as in unit tests. Use of `self._connection` in Resource code should protect itself with a check for None.

  resources_key = 'resource_type_associations'

    Plural form of key for resource.

  base_path = '/metadefs/namespaces/%(namespace_name)s/resource_types'

    The base part of the URI for this resource.

  allow_create = True

    Allow create operation for this resource.

  allow_delete = True

    Allow delete operation for this resource.

  allow_list = True

    Allow list operation for this resource.

  namespace_name

    The name of the namespace whose details you want to see.

  name

    The name of metadata definition resource type

  created_at

    The date and time when the resource type was created.

  updated_at

    The date and time when the resource type was updated.

  prefix

    Prefix for any properties in the namespace that you want to apply to the resource type. If you specify a prefix, you must append a prefix separator, such as the colon (:) character.

  properties_target

    Some resource types allow more than one key and value pair for each instance. For example, the Image service allows both user and image metadata on volumes. The properties_target parameter enables a namespace target to remove the ambiguity
