LoadType (Objectify App Engine 6.0.7 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<T>, LoadIds<T>, Query<T>, QueryExecute<T>, QueryResultIterable<T>, SimpleQuery<T>
```
public interface LoadType<T>
extends LoadIds<T>, Query<T>
```
Once you have narrowed your interest to a type (via load().type(SomeType.class)), the command pattern can diverge into two directions: Either defining a parent or ids (which corresponds to a batch get) or calling query-related methods (which will produce a query).

LoadIds<T> parent(Object keyOrEntity)
```
    Define a parent for a get-by-key operation. After this, you must define an id() or ids().
    All command objects are immutable; this method returns a new object instead of modifying the current command object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keyOrEntity - - a Key, datastore Key, or entity pojo of the relevant entity to use as the key parent
    
    Returns:
    
    the next immutable step in the command chain, which allows you to define ids.
