How to exclude/filter items from /children with "display in navig

How to exclude/filter items from /children with "display in navigation" set to false

Hi,

Im trying to implement the content delivery api and it's going pretty well.

Sofar i've managed to create an app that builds a menu and can fetch pages with blocks on navigation.

However I've not been able to identify how to exclude/filters items that have the "Display in navigation" property set to false. Normally I can check the VisibleInMenu property to reflect this value.

In the content api this property is not exposed either in the content or children call. How can I find it? Or do I manually have to implement some kind of global filter that excludes this for all calls?

Preferrably I would like to see it on the /children call of my content.

I have tried to create proxy properties that display the VisibleInMenu property like so.

  public virtual bool ShowInNavigation {
            get {
                var show = this.GetPropertyValue(p => p.VisibleInMenu);
                return show;
            }
            set { this.SetPropertyValue(p => p.VisibleInMenu, value); }
        }

But they all show "null" even though value is true or false.

I guess there should be a simpler solution but this was my solution.

I can actually find properties that randomly dissapear now.

I add them manually here:

    [ServiceConfiguration(typeof(IContentModelMapper), Lifecycle = ServiceInstanceScope.Singleton)]
    public class CustomContentModelMapper : DefaultContentConverter
    {

        public CustomContentModelMapper(IContentTypeRepository contentTypeRepository,
                                ReflectionService reflectionService,
                                IContentModelReferenceConverter contentModelService,
                                IContentVersionRepository contentVersionRepository,
                                ContentLoaderService contentLoaderService,
                                UrlResolverService urlResolverService,
                                ContentApiConfiguration apiConfig,
                                IPropertyConverterResolver propertyConverterResolver)
                            : base(contentTypeRepository,
                                  reflectionService,
                                  contentModelService,
                                  contentVersionRepository,
                                  contentLoaderService,
                                  urlResolverService,
                                  apiConfig,
                                  propertyConverterResolver)
        {
        }

        public override int Order => 200;

        protected override ContentApiModel CreateDefaultModel(IContent content)
        {
            var baseModel = base.CreateDefaultModel(content);
            if (content is SitePageData sp)
            {
                base.AddToPropertyMap(baseModel.Properties, nameof(sp.MetaKeywords), new StringPropertyModel(new PropertyString(string.Join(", ", sp.MetaKeywords))));
                base.AddToPropertyMap(baseModel.Properties, nameof(sp.VisibleInMenu), new BooleanPropertyModel(new PropertyBoolean(sp.VisibleInMenu)));
            }
            return baseModel;
        }
}
