18 // D-Bus objects frequently provide sets of properties accessed via a
19 // standard interface of method calls and signals to obtain the current value,
20 // set a new value and be notified of changes to the value. Unfortunately this
21 // interface makes heavy use of variants and dictionaries of variants. The
22 // classes defined here make dealing with properties in a type-safe manner
25 // Client implementation classes should define a Properties structure, deriving
26 // from the PropertySet class defined here. This structure should contain a
27 // member for each property defined as an instance of the Property<> class,
28 // specifying the type to the template. Finally the structure should chain up
29 // to the PropertySet constructor, and then call RegisterProperty() for each
30 // property defined to associate them with their string name.
33 // class ExampleClient {
35 // struct Properties : public dbus::PropertySet {
36 // dbus::Property<std::string> name;
37 // dbus::Property<uint16> version;
38 // dbus::Property<dbus::ObjectPath> parent;
39 // dbus::Property<std::vector<std::string> > children;
41 // Properties(dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy,
42 // const PropertyChangedCallback callback)
43 // : dbus::PropertySet(object_proxy, "com.example.DBus", callback) {
44 // RegisterProperty("Name", &name);
45 // RegisterProperty("Version", &version);
46 // RegisterProperty("Parent", &parent);
47 // RegisterProperty("Children", &children);
49 // virtual ~Properties() {}
52 // The Properties structure requires a pointer to the object proxy of the
53 // actual object to track, and after construction should have signals
54 // connected to that object and initial values set by calling ConnectSignals()
55 // and GetAll(). The structure should not outlive the object proxy, so it
56 // is recommended that the lifecycle of both be managed together.
58 // Example (continued):
60 // typedef std::map<std::pair<dbus::ObjectProxy*, Properties*> > Object;
61 // typedef std::map<dbus::ObjectPath, Object> ObjectMap;
62 // ObjectMap object_map_;
64 // dbus::ObjectProxy* GetObjectProxy(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
65 // return GetObject(object_path).first;
68 // Properties* GetProperties(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
69 // return GetObject(object_path).second;
72 // Object GetObject(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
73 // ObjectMap::iterator it = object_map_.find(object_path);
74 // if (it != object_map_.end())
77 // dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy = bus->GetObjectProxy(...);
78 // // connect signals, etc.
80 // Properties* properties = new Properties(
82 // base::Bind(&PropertyChanged,
83 // weak_ptr_factory_.GetWeakPtr(),
85 // properties->ConnectSignals();
86 // properties->GetAll();
88 // Object object = std::make_pair(object_proxy, properties);
89 // object_map_[object_path] = object;
94 // This now allows code using the client implementation to access properties
95 // in a type-safe manner, and assuming the PropertyChanged callback is
96 // propogated up to observers, be notified of changes. A typical access of
97 // the current value of the name property would be:
99 // ExampleClient::Properties* p = example_client->GetProperties(object_path);
100 // std::string name = p->name.value();
102 // Normally these values are updated from signals emitted by the remote object,
103 // in case an explicit round-trip is needed to obtain the current value, the
104 // Get() method can be used and indicates whether or not the value update was
105 // successful. The updated value can be obtained in the callback using the
108 // p->children.Get(base::Bind(&OnGetChildren));
110 // A new value can be set using the Set() method, the callback indicates
111 // success only; it is up to the remote object when (and indeed if) it updates
112 // the property value, and whether it emits a signal or a Get() call is
113 // required to obtain it.
