@inherits Custom.Hybrid.Razor14
@using ToSic.Eav.Data;
@* TODO: make it get a Content of the expected type *@

@{
  var type = AsEntity(Content).Type;
  var attributes = type.Attributes as IEnumerable<IContentTypeAttribute>;
  var sexAttr = attributes.First(t => t.Name == "Sex");
  // Check the metadata for the DropdownValues in the type @string-dropdown
  var sexDropdown = sexAttr.Metadata.GetBestValue<string>("DropdownValues", "@string-dropdown");
}
<ol>
  <li>Type Name: "@type.Name"</li>
  <li>Type Internal Name: "@type.StaticName"</li>
  <li>Type of the Awards field: "@attributes.First(t => t.Name == "Awards").Type"</li>
  <li>
    Values in the <code>Sex</code> field (@sexAttr.Type) dropdown
    <ul>
      @foreach (var s in sexDropdown.Split(new [] { '\r', '\n' }))
      {
        var parts = s.Split(':');
        <li>@parts[0] = '@(parts.Length > 0 ? parts[1] : "")'</li>
      }
    </ul>
