get_parent_maps
get dict of all parent maps
Generates a dictionary copy of all the MaciDataObj's currently mapped parent attribute name references to its children, and returns a dict of the maps. This method currently has no parameters.
Useful if it is desired to view or reference all parent attribute names with their child mappings.
data.get_parent_maps() -> dict[str, dict[str, str]
Basic Example of getting a dict of current parent mappings of the MaciDataObj
In this example, we simply use the get_parent_maps method on the MaciDataObj to get a generated copy of the current parent attribute names with their child mappings, currently held inside the maci object, as a dictionary, and assign the returned dict data to a variable.
Parent maps have their own dedicated key name. Example below shows maps with a basic reference.
Example output of parent maps with basic references
Parent maps will have their own parent key name matching its attribute name with a value to all child maps referencing the parent attribute name.
The values of the child maps will have their own child key name matching its attribute name with a value to the parent attribute name they are referencing.
For more information on the mapping concept, see Map Assignment Glyph in the language section and map_attr.
