addprop

Class: dynamicprops

Add dynamic property

Description

example

P = addprop(A,PropertyName) adds a property named PropName to each object in array A. The output argument P is an array of matlab.metadata.DynamicProperty objects that is the same size as A.

Dynamic properties exist only on the specific instance for which they are defined. Dynamic properties do not become part of the class definition.

You can add dynamic properties only to objects derived from the dynamicprops class. Access the data in dynamic properties using the instance variable and the property name (obj.PropertyName).

Input Arguments

Input array, specified as an object array of a class that is derived from dynamicprops.

Name of dynamic property, specified as a char vector.

Example: 'DynoProp'

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

expand all

Output array returned as an array of matlab.metadata.DynamicProperty objects. Use matlab.metadata.DynamicProperty objects to define access methods for dynamic properties, to set property attributes, and to remove dynamic properties.
