QIfPagingModelInterface Class

Member Function Documentation

QIfPagingModelInterface::QIfPagingModelInterface(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a backend interface.

The parent is sent to the QObject constructor.

[signal] void QIfPagingModelInterface::countChanged(const QUuid &identifier = QUuid(), int count = -1)

This signal is emitted when the current number of items in the QIfPagingModel instance identified by identifier changed. The new number of items is returned as count.

This signal is expected to be emitted after the model instance has requested new data for the first time by calling fetchData() and should be emitted before the data is returned by emitting the dataFetched() signal.

See also fetchData() and dataFetched().

[signal] void QIfPagingModelInterface::dataChanged(const QUuid &identifier, const QList<QVariant> &data, int start, int count)

This signal is emitted whenever the data in the QIfPagingModel instance identified by identifier changed and the model needs to be updated. The new data is passed as data. The arguments start and count can be used to define the set of items which should be replaced with the new data.

For inserting a new item, the item is passed in data and start is used for where the item should be inserted, the count argument needs to be 0 as we don't want to replace existing data:

QList<ExampleItem> list;
ExampleItem item = ExampleItem();
list.insert(index, item);
QVariantList items = { QVariant::fromValue(item) };
emit dataChanged(items, index, 0);

Removing an item is very similar, start is used to indicate which item and count to indicate how much:

list.removeAt(index);
emit dataChanged(identifier, QVariantList(), index, 1);

[signal] void QIfPagingModelInterface::dataFetched(const QUuid &identifier, const QList<QVariant> &data, int start, bool moreAvailable)

This signal is emitted as a result of a call to fetchData() and returns the requested data in the argument data to the QIfPagingModel instance identified by identifier. The arguments start holds the index where the data starts and moreAvailable holds whether there is more data available and a new fetchData() call can be used to retrieve this data.

See also fetchData() and dataFetched().

[signal] void QIfPagingModelInterface::supportedCapabilitiesChanged(const QUuid &identifier, QtInterfaceFrameworkModule::ModelCapabilities capabilities)

Emitted when the capabilities of the model instance identified by identifier changed.

[pure virtual] void QIfPagingModelInterface::fetchData(const QUuid &identifier, int start, int count)

This function is called whenever new data needs to be retrieved by a QIfPagingModel identified by identifier.

The parameters start and count define the range of data which should be fetched. This method is expected to emit the dataFetched() signal once the new data is ready.

See also dataFetched().

[pure virtual] void QIfPagingModelInterface::registerInstance(const QUuid &identifier)

Registers the instance of QIfPagingModel identified by identifier with this backend. This function will be called by QIfPagingModel and all its derived classes after the initialize() function, but before any data will be requested e.g. via fetchData().

See also unregisterInstance.

[pure virtual] void QIfPagingModelInterface::unregisterInstance(const QUuid &identifier)

Unregisters the instance of QIfPagingModel identified by identifier with this backend. This function will be called by QIfPagingModel and all its derived classes before the ServiceObject gets disconnected and can be used to cleanup all cached data for this identifier.

See also registerInstance.
