20 // D-Bus objects frequently provide sets of properties accessed via a
21 // standard interface of method calls and signals to obtain the current value,
22 // set a new value and be notified of changes to the value. Unfortunately this
23 // interface makes heavy use of variants and dictionaries of variants. The
24 // classes defined here make dealing with properties in a type-safe manner
25 // possible.
27 // Client implementation classes should define a Properties structure, deriving
28 // from the PropertySet class defined here. This structure should contain a
29 // member for each property defined as an instance of the Property<> class,
30 // specifying the type to the template. Finally the structure should chain up
31 // to the PropertySet constructor, and then call RegisterProperty() for each
32 // property defined to associate them with their string name.
34 // Example:
35 // class ExampleClient {
36 // public:
37 // struct Properties : public dbus::PropertySet {
38 // dbus::Property<std::string> name;
39 // dbus::Property<uint16> version;
40 // dbus::Property<dbus::ObjectPath> parent;
41 // dbus::Property<std::vector<std::string> > children;
43 // Properties(dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy,
44 // const PropertyChangedCallback callback)
45 // : dbus::PropertySet(object_proxy, "com.example.DBus", callback) {
46 // RegisterProperty("Name", &name);
47 // RegisterProperty("Version", &version);
48 // RegisterProperty("Parent", &parent);
49 // RegisterProperty("Children", &children);
50 // }
51 // virtual ~Properties() {}
52 // };
54 // The Properties structure requires a pointer to the object proxy of the
55 // actual object to track, and after construction should have signals
56 // connected to that object and initial values set by calling ConnectSignals()
57 // and GetAll(). The structure should not outlive the object proxy, so it
58 // is recommended that the lifecycle of both be managed together.
60 // Example (continued):
62 // typedef std::map<std::pair<dbus::ObjectProxy*, Properties*> > Object;
63 // typedef std::map<dbus::ObjectPath, Object> ObjectMap;
64 // ObjectMap object_map_;
66 // dbus::ObjectProxy* GetObjectProxy(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
67 // return GetObject(object_path).first;
68 // }
70 // Properties* GetProperties(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
71 // return GetObject(object_path).second;
72 // }
74 // Object GetObject(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
75 // ObjectMap::iterator it = object_map_.find(object_path);
76 // if (it != object_map_.end())
77 // return it->second;
79 // dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy = bus->GetObjectProxy(...);
80 // // connect signals, etc.
82 // Properties* properties = new Properties(
83 // object_proxy,
84 // base::Bind(&PropertyChanged,
85 // weak_ptr_factory_.GetWeakPtr(),
86 // object_path));
87 // properties->ConnectSignals();
88 // properties->GetAll();
90 // Object object = std::make_pair(object_proxy, properties);
91 // object_map_[object_path] = object;
92 // return object;
93 // }
94 // };
96 // This now allows code using the client implementation to access properties
97 // in a type-safe manner, and assuming the PropertyChanged callback is
98 // propogated up to observers, be notified of changes. A typical access of
99 // the current value of the name property would be:
101 // ExampleClient::Properties* p = example_client->GetProperties(object_path);
102 // std::string name = p->name.value();
104 // Normally these values are updated from signals emitted by the remote object,
105 // in case an explicit round-trip is needed to obtain the current value, the
106 // Get() method can be used and indicates whether or not the value update was
107 // successful. The updated value can be obtained in the callback using the
108 // value() method.
110 // p->children.Get(base::Bind(&OnGetChildren));
112 // A new value can be set using the Set() method, the callback indicates
113 // success only; it is up to the remote object when (and indeed if) it updates
114 // the property value, and whether it emits a signal or a Get() call is
115 // required to obtain it.
