CustomEntity Class 
An object that contains information about the matches that were found, and related metadata.
All required parameters must be populated in order to send to server.
Constructor
CustomEntity(*, name: str, description: str | None = None, type: str | None = None, subtype: str | None = None, id: str | None = None, case_sensitive: bool | None = None, accent_sensitive: bool | None = None, fuzzy_edit_distance: int | None = None, default_case_sensitive: bool | None = None, default_accent_sensitive: bool | None = None, default_fuzzy_edit_distance: int | None = None, aliases: list['_models.CustomEntityAlias'] | None = None, **kwargs: Any)
		Keyword-Only Parameters
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| 
		 name 
	 | 
	
		
		 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 
	 | 
	
		
		 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. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 type 
	 | 
	
		
		 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. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 subtype 
	 | 
	
		
		 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. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 id 
	 | 
	
		
		 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. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 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. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 accent_sensitive 
	 | 
	
		
		 Defaults to false. Boolean value denoting whether comparisons with the entity name should be sensitive to accent. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 fuzzy_edit_distance 
	 | 
	
		
		 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 value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 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 value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 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 value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 default_fuzzy_edit_distance 
	 | 
	
		
		 Changes the default fuzzy edit distance value for this entity. It can be used to change the default value of all aliases fuzzyEditDistance values. Default value: None 
			 | 
| 
		 aliases 
	 | 
	
		
		 An array of complex objects that can be used to specify alternative spellings or synonyms to the root entity name. Default value: None

Methods
| as_dict | 
					 Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump. Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter: Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object. The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict. See the three examples in this file: 
 If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.  | 
			
| deserialize | 
					 Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.  | 
			
| enable_additional_properties_sending | |
| from_dict | 
					 Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model. By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)  | 
			
| is_xml_model | |
| serialize | 
					 Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model. This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False). If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.  |
