Neos.MetaData Package
=====================

[](#neosmetadata-package)

This package provides data types and interfaces to handle meta data for assets in Neos (or Flow).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require neos/metadata

```

If you install a package that depends on this package, you should not need to require it manually, though. Some related packages are:

- [`neos/metadata-extractor`](https://github.com/neos/metadata-extractor): Provides CLI and realtime meta data extraction on assets
- [`neos/metadata-contentrepositoryadapter`](https://github.com/neos/metadata-contentrepositoryadapter): Handles the mapping of meta data DTOs to the Neos Content Repository

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The provided asset meta data mapper is configured with Eel expressions to determine the source of mapped data. Check the setup below `Neos.MetaData.metaDataMapping`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package does not in itself change the way metadata is handled. Instead it provides ways for other packages to interact with meta data of assets.

### Defined Meta Data Mappers

[](#defined-meta-data-mappers)

- **AssetModelMetaDataMapper**: Maps meta data to `Asset` models from `neos/media`. Supported are title,
    caption, copyright notice (on `neos/media` 4.2 and up), tags and collections (see configuration above).

### Defined Data Transfer Objects

[](#defined-data-transfer-objects)

- **Asset**: The asset DTO provides basic data about the asset, like original file name.
- **IPTC**: Image meta data, title and description of the photograph and the author. For further specifications see .
- **EXIF**: Exchangeable image file format for digital still cameras, the technical meta data of an image. For further specifications see .
