Detailed Description

Abstract base class for Folder, Feed and Article.

Provides some basic properties used by other items. You have to derive this class and implement the pure virtual funtions.

Usage in models

If you are using a class that derives from BaseItem as the content object in a model, do not set the model as parent of the item if you intent to use item internal operations like remove, rename, etc. Setting the model as parent will delete the item when the model will be destructed.

Delete the model items manually in the model's destructor and check for items that are still inOperation(), use QObject::deleteLater() to delete these items so that they can finish the ongoing operation.

while (!folders.isEmpty()) {
    Folder *f = folders.takeFirst();
    if (f->inOperation()) {
        f->deleteLater();
    } else {
        delete f;
    }
}

Property Documentation

error

Fuoten::Error * error

read

Pointer to an Error object, if an error occurred, otherwise returns a nullptr.

Access functions:

Error*

error() const

Notifier signal:

void	errorChanged(Error *error)

See also

setError()

id

qint64 id

read

Database ID of the Article, Feed or Folder.

Access functions:

qint64

id() const

Notifier signal:

void	idChanged(qint64 id)

See also

setId()

inOperation

bool inOperation

read

Returns true while there is an operation running on the item.

This is used for operations that are directly invoked by methods from the item, not from outside classes.

Access functions:

bool	inOperation() const

Notifier signal:

void	inOperationChanged(bool inOperation)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BaseItem()

BaseItem ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructs an empty base item with the given parent.

~BaseItem()

~BaseItem ( )

override

Deconstructs the base item.

Member Function Documentation

clearError()

void clearError

(

)

Removes the current Error object and sets a nullptr.

component()

Component * component ( ) const

protected

Returns the pointer to the currently active Component.

If no component is active, a nullptr will be returned.

See also

setComponent()

copy()

void copy ( BaseItem * other )

virtual

Makes a deep copy of other into this object.

The default implementation does nothing. When reimplementing, do a qobject_cast to the derived type.

Reimplemented in Article, Feed, and Folder.

error()

Error * error

(

)

const

Returns a pointer to an Error object, if any error occurred, otherwise a nullptr.

See also

BaseItem::error

errorChanged

void errorChanged ( Fuoten::Error * error )

signal

This signal will be emitted whenever the error property changes. May return a nullptr.

See also

BaseItem::error

id()

qint64 id

(

)

const

Returns the ID of the item.

See also

BaseItem::id

idChanged

void idChanged ( qint64 id )

signal

This signal will be emitted whenever the id property changes.

See also

BaseItem::id

inOperation()

bool inOperation

(

)

const

Returns true while there is some operation ongoing directly on the item.

See also

BaseItem::inOperation

inOperationChanged

void inOperationChanged ( bool inOperation )

signal

This signal will be emitted whenever the inOperation property changes.

See also

BaseItem::inOperation

setComponent()

void setComponent ( Component * nComp )

protected

Sets the API component to perform an internal API request.

This has to be a subclass of Component. Failed requests are handled automatically by connecting to the Component::failed() signal. It will set the BaseItem::error property and will delete the component as well setting the internal pointer to a nullptr.

Handling of succeeded API requests should be handled in the implementation.

Example

void Folder::remove(AbstractConfiguration *config, AbstractStorage *storage)
{
    if (!config) {
        qWarning("Can not delete the folder. No AbstractConfiguration available.");
        return;
    }
 
 
    DeleteFolder *df = new DeleteFolder(this);
    df->setConfiguration(config);
    df->setStorage(storage);
    df->setFolderId(id());
    connect(df, &DeleteFolder::succeeded, this, &QObject::deleteLater);
    setComponent(df);
    component()->execute();
    Q_EMIT inOperationChanged(inOperation());
}

component()

setError()

void setError ( Error * nError )

protected

Sets the Error object of the error property.

See also

error

setId()

void setId

(

qint64

nId

)

Sets the database ID of the item/feed/folder.
