CustomEntity Class

An object that contains information about the matches that were found, and related metadata.

Constructor

CustomEntity(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

Variables

Name Description
name
str

The top-level entity descriptor. Matches in the skill output will be grouped by this name, and it should represent the "normalized" form of the text being found. Required.

description
str

This field can be used as a passthrough for custom metadata about the matched text(s). The value of this field will appear with every match of its entity in the skill output.

type
str

This field can be used as a passthrough for custom metadata about the matched text(s). The value of this field will appear with every match of its entity in the skill output.

subtype
str

This field can be used as a passthrough for custom metadata about the matched text(s). The value of this field will appear with every match of its entity in the skill output.

id
str

This field can be used as a passthrough for custom metadata about the matched text(s). The value of this field will appear with every match of its entity in the skill output.

case_sensitive

Defaults to false. Boolean value denoting whether comparisons with the entity name should be sensitive to character casing. Sample case insensitive matches of "Microsoft" could be: microsoft, microSoft, MICROSOFT.

accent_sensitive

Defaults to false. Boolean value denoting whether comparisons with the entity name should be sensitive to accent.

fuzzy_edit_distance
int

Defaults to 0. Maximum value of 5. Denotes the acceptable number of divergent characters that would still constitute a match with the entity name. The smallest possible fuzziness for any given match is returned. For instance, if the edit distance is set to 3, "Windows10" would still match "Windows", "Windows10" and "Windows 7". When case sensitivity is set to false, case differences do NOT count towards fuzziness tolerance, but otherwise do.

default_case_sensitive

Changes the default case sensitivity value for this entity. It be used to change the default value of all aliases caseSensitive values.

default_accent_sensitive

Changes the default accent sensitivity value for this entity. It be used to change the default value of all aliases accentSensitive values.

default_fuzzy_edit_distance
int

Changes the default fuzzy edit distance value for this entity. It can be used to change the default value of all aliases fuzzyEditDistance values.

aliases

An array of complex objects that can be used to specify alternative spellings or synonyms to the root entity name.

Methods

as_dict

Return a dict that can be turned into json using json.dump.

clear

Remove all items from D.

copy
get

Get the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default. :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary. Defaults to None :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any

items
keys
pop

Removes specified key and return the corresponding value. :param str key: The key to pop. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary :returns: The value corresponding to the key. :rtype: any :raises KeyError: If key is not found and default is not given.

popitem

Removes and returns some (key, value) pair :returns: The (key, value) pair. :rtype: tuple :raises KeyError: if D is empty.

setdefault

Same as calling D.get(k, d), and setting D[k]=d if k not found :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to set if key is not in the dictionary :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any

update

Updates D from mapping/iterable E and F. :param any args: Either a mapping object or an iterable of key-value pairs.
