Returns

Accessors

name

Get Signature

get name(): string;

Gets the name of the catalog.

Returns

string

The name of the catalog.

Methods

getCachedModels()

getCachedModels(): Promise<IModel[]>;

Retrieves a list of all locally cached model variants. This method is asynchronous as it may involve file I/O or querying the underlying core.

Returns

Promise<IModel[]>

A Promise that resolves to an array of cached IModel objects.


getLatestVersion()

getLatestVersion(modelOrModelVariant): Promise<IModel>;

Get the latest version of a model. This is used to check if a newer version of a model is available in the catalog for download.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
modelOrModelVariantIModelThe model to check for the latest version.

Returns

Promise<IModel>

The latest version of the model. Will match the input if it is the latest version.


getLoadedModels()

getLoadedModels(): Promise<IModel[]>;

Retrieves a list of all currently loaded model variants. This operation is asynchronous because checking the loaded status may involve querying the underlying core or an external service, which can be an I/O bound operation.

Returns

Promise<IModel[]>

A Promise that resolves to an array of loaded IModel objects.


getModel()

getModel(alias): Promise<IModel>;

Retrieves a model by its alias. This method is asynchronous as it may ensure the catalog is up-to-date by fetching from a remote service.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
aliasstringThe alias of the model to retrieve.

Returns

Promise<IModel>

A Promise that resolves to the IModel object if found, otherwise throws an error.

Throws

Error - If alias is null, undefined, or empty.


getModels()

getModels(): Promise<IModel[]>;

Lists all available models in the catalog. This method is asynchronous as it may fetch the model list from a remote service or perform file I/O.

Returns

Promise<IModel[]>

A Promise that resolves to an array of IModel objects.


getModelVariant()

getModelVariant(modelId): Promise<IModel>;

Retrieves a specific model variant by its ID. NOTE: This will return an IModel with a single variant. Use getModel to get an IModel with all available variants. This method is asynchronous as it may ensure the catalog is up-to-date by fetching from a remote service.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
modelIdstringThe unique identifier of the model variant.

Returns

Promise<IModel>

A Promise that resolves to the IModel object if found, otherwise throws an error.

Throws

Error - If modelId is null, undefined, or empty.
