baseVersion() public method

This is only set when the entity was obtained from a query result. It is used for concurrency control internally. Example: $baseVersion = $entity->baseVersion();
public baseVersion ( ) : string | null
return string | null
 /**
  * Enqueue a mutation
  *
  * A mutation is a change to the datastore. Create, Update and Delete are
  * examples of mutations, while Read is not.
  *
  * Google Cloud Datastore supports multiple mutations in a single API call,
  * subject to the limits of the service. Adding mutations separately from
  * committing the changes allows you to create complex operations, both
  * inside a transaction and not.
  *
  * @see https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/concepts/limits Limits
  *
  * @param string $operation The operation to execute. "Insert", "Upsert",
  *        "Update" or "Delete".
  * @param Entity|Key $input The entity or key to mutate.
  * @param string $type The type of the input array.
  * @param string $baseVersion [optional] The version of the entity that this mutation
  *        is being applied to. If this does not match the current version on
  *        the server, the mutation conflicts.
  * @return array [Mutation](https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects/commit#Mutation).
  * @throws InvalidArgumentException
