The following table describes the attributes of the Inspectable tag:
Attribute
defaultValue
enumeration
listOffset
name
type
variable
verbose
None of these attributes are required. You can simply have Inspectable as the metadata tag.
All properties of the superclass that are marked Inspectable are automatically inspectable in the
current class. Use the InspectableList tag if you want to hide some of these properties for the
current class.
About the InspectableList tag
Use the InspectableList tag to specify which subset of inspectable properties should appear in the
Property inspector. Use InspectableList in combination with Inspectable so that you can hide
inherited attributes for components that are subclasses. If you do not add an InspectableList tag to
your component's class, all inspectable parameters, including those of the component's parent
classes, appear in the Property inspector.
The InspectableList syntax is as follows:
[InspectableList("attribute1"[,...])]
// class definition
