Description

The TryGetMeta method attempts to retrieve a metadata value associated with a specified key from the project configuration. It is a generic method that allows you to specify the type of the value you expect to retrieve. If the key exists and the value can be cast to the specified type, the method returns true and outputs the value through the outvalue parameter. Otherwise, it returns false.

Usage

To use the TryGetMeta method, you need to provide the key name as a string and an output variable to store the retrieved value. The method will return a boolean indicating whether the retrieval was successful.

Example usage:

ProjectConfig config = new ProjectConfig();
string key = "exampleKey";
int value;

bool success = config.TryGetMeta<int>(key, out value);
if (success)
{
    // Use the retrieved value
}
else
{
    // Handle the case where the key does not exist or the value is not of the expected type
}

Example

ProjectConfig config = new ProjectConfig();
string key = "exampleKey";
int value;

bool success = config.TryGetMeta<int>(key, out value);
if (success)
{
    // Use the retrieved value
}
else
{
    // Handle the case where the key does not exist or the value is not of the expected type
}
