object = .object (scope:simple-template [,filter])

The following parameters are available:

Parameter	Description
`scope`	Collection over which we should iterate, the macro will return the first matching object in the collection Type: Simple template returning either an object or a collection scope
`simple-template`	Template to be evaluated. Type: Simple template
`filter`	Filter condition Type: condition

Parameter

Description

scope

The following macro returns the first attribute in the collection defined on the current classifier whose code starts with a letter comprised between a and e included.

.object(Attributes, (%.1:Code% >= a) and (%.1:Code% <= e))

In the following example, template ::myPackage2 is defined as:

.object(ActiveModel.Packages, %Name% == MyPackage2)

and template OOM.Model::MyTemplate is defined as:

.foreach_item(myPackage2.Classes)
%Code%
.next(\n)

In OOM.Model M = { OOM.Package MyPackage1, OOM.Package MyPackage2 { OOM.Class C1, OOM.Class C2} }, and template OOM.Model::MyTemplate evaluates to:

C1
C2

In the following example, this template in a DMM returns the first read-only data connection for the process associated with the current publication:

.object(Process.DataConnections, %AccessType% == "RO")
