    args,
    kwargs,
)

|-|-|-|
| `name` | `str` | |
| `getter` | `typing.Callable[[], ~T]` | |
| `args` | `*args` | |
| `kwargs` | `**kwargs` | |

### Properties

| Property | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| `entity` | `None` | If not already fetched / available, then the entity will be force fetched. |
| `id` | `None` |  |
| `name` | `None` |  |
| `python_interface` | `None` |  |
