# Catalog Object

The wrapper object for the catalog entries of a given object type.

Depending on the `type` attribute value, a `CatalogObject` instance assumes a type-specific data to yield the corresponding type of catalog object.

For example, if `type=ITEM`, the `CatalogObject` instance must have the ITEM-specific data set on the `item_data` attribute. The resulting `CatalogObject` instance is also a `CatalogItem` instance.

In general, if `type=<OBJECT_TYPE>`, the `CatalogObject` instance must have the `<OBJECT_TYPE>`-specific data set on the `<object_type>_data` attribute. The resulting `CatalogObject` instance is also a `Catalog<ObjectType>` instance.

For a more detailed discussion of the Catalog data model, please see the
[Design a Catalog](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/catalog-api/design-a-catalog) guide.

## Structure

`CatalogObject`

## Fields

| Name | Type | Tags | Description | Getter | Setter |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `type` | [`string (CatalogObjectType)`](/doc/models/catalog-object-type.md) | Required | Possible types of CatalogObjects returned from the catalog, each<br>containing type-specific properties in the `*_data` field corresponding to the specfied object type. | getType(): string | setType(string type): void |
| `id` | `string` | Required | An identifier to reference this object in the catalog. When a new `CatalogObject`<br>is inserted, the client should set the id to a temporary identifier starting with<br>a "`#`" character. Other objects being inserted or updated within the same request<br>may use this identifier to refer to the new object.<br><br>When the server receives the new object, it will supply a unique identifier that<br>replaces the temporary identifier for all future references.<br>**Constraints**: *Minimum Length*: `1` | getId(): string | setId(string id): void |
| `updatedAt` | `?string` | Optional | Last modification [timestamp](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/working-with-dates) in RFC 3339 format, e.g., `"2016-08-15T23:59:33.123Z"`<br>would indicate the UTC time (denoted by `Z`) of August 15, 2016 at 23:59:33 and 123 milliseconds. | getUpdatedAt(): ?string | setUpdatedAt(?string updatedAt): void |
| `version` | `?int` | Optional | The version of the object. When updating an object, the version supplied<br>must match the version in the database, otherwise the write will be rejected as conflicting. | getVersion(): ?int | setVersion(?int version): void |
| `isDeleted` | `?bool` | Optional | If `true`, the object has been deleted from the database. Must be `false` for new objects<br>being inserted. When deleted, the `updated_at` field will equal the deletion time. | getIsDeleted(): ?bool | setIsDeleted(?bool isDeleted): void |
| `customAttributeValues` | [`?array`](/doc/models/catalog-custom-attribute-value.md) | Optional | A map (key-value pairs) of application-defined custom attribute values.

The key is the `key` attribute<br>value defined in the associated [CatalogCustomAttributeDefinition](/doc/models/catalog-custom-attribute-definition.md)<br>object defined by the application making the request.<br><br>If the `CatalogCustomAttributeDefinition` object is<br>defined by another application, the `CatalogCustomAttributeDefinition`'s key attribute value is prefixed by<br>the defining application ID. For example, if the `CatalogCustomAttributeDefinition` has a `key` attribute of<br>`"cocoa_brand"` and the defining application ID is `"abcd1234"`, the key in the map is `"abcd1234:cocoa_brand"`<br>if the application making the request is different from the application defining the custom attribute definition.<br>Otherwise, the key used in the map is simply `"cocoa_brand"`.<br><br>Application-defined custom attributes that are set at a global (location-independent) level.<br>Custom attribute values are intended to store additional information about a catalog object<br>or associations with an entity in another system. Do not use custom attributes<br>to store any sensitive information (personally identifiable information, card details, etc.). | getCustomAttributeValues(): ?array | setCustomAttributeValues(?array customAttributeValues): void |

| `presentAtAllLocations` | `?bool` | Optional | If `true`, this object is present at all locations (including future locations), except where specified in<br>the `absent_at_location_ids` field. If `false`, this object is not present at any locations (including future locations),<br>except where specified in the `present_at_location_ids` field. If not specified, defaults to `true`. | getPresentAtAllLocations(): ?bool | setPresentAtAllLocations(?bool presentAtAllLocations): void |
| `presentAtLocationIds` | `?(string[])` | Optional | A list of locations where the object is present, even if `present_at_all_locations` is `false`.<br>This can include locations that are deactivated. | getPresentAtLocationIds(): ?array | setPresentAtLocationIds(?array presentAtLocationIds): void |
