Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Context() [1/2]

Context::Context ( Application app)

Constructs a new DUMMY Context object that is child of Application.

Warning
This currently is experimental to allow non network events (such as database notification) to be able to use our infrastructure.

Definition at line 29 of file context.cpp.

References app(), Cutelyst::Request::body(), Cutelyst::Application::defaultHeaders(), Cutelyst::Application::defaultLocale(), QIODevice::open(), QIODeviceBase::ReadWrite, and req.

◆ ~Context()

Context::~Context ( )
virtual

Destroys the Context object. This will also delete the associated Request and Response.

Definition at line 43 of file context.cpp.

◆ Context() [2/2]

Context::Context ( ContextPrivate *  priv)
protected

Constructs a new Context object using private implementation.

Definition at line 24 of file context.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

Action * Context::action ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a pointer to the current action.

Definition at line 109 of file context.cpp.

◆ actionName()

QString Context::actionName ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the private name of the current action.

Definition at line 115 of file context.cpp.

◆ app()

Application * Context::app ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the application instance. See Cutelyst::Application.

References error().

Referenced by Cutelyst::Dispatcher::dispatch(), execute(), Cutelyst::ViewEmail::render(), and Cutelyst::CuteleeView::render().

◆ attachAsync()

void Context::attachAsync ( )

Reattaches to the processing chain in order to process the remaining of the action chaing. Call this after you called detachAsync().

The scoped ASync class can make handlying async requests easier.

Definition at line 355 of file context.cpp.

References action, execute(), finalize(), and QObject::Q_EMIT().

Referenced by Cutelyst::UA::forwardAsync().

◆ config() [1/2]

QVariantMap Context::config ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a configuration mapping for all configuration entries read from the Cutelyst configuration section.

See also
Configure your application

Definition at line 478 of file context.cpp.

◆ config() [2/2]

QVariant Context::config ( const QString key,
const QVariant defaultValue = {} 
) const

Returns a configuration value for key. If key is not found, defaultValue will be returned.

This calls Application::config(), so it will only return entries from the Cutelyst configuration section.

See also
Configure your application

Definition at line 472 of file context.cpp.

◆ controller() [1/2]

Controller * Context::controller ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current controller.

Definition at line 151 of file context.cpp.

◆ controller() [2/2]

Controller * Context::controller ( QStringView  name) const

Returns the controller by name or nullptr if the controller is not found.

Definition at line 157 of file context.cpp.

◆ controllerName()

QString Cutelyst::Context::controllerName ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current controller name.

Definition at line 145 of file context.cpp.

◆ customView()

View * Context::customView ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the View set to be used for rendering this request, if one is set by setCustomView() or nullptr if none was set.

Definition at line 163 of file context.cpp.

Referenced by Cutelyst::RenderView::doExecute().

◆ detach()

void Context::detach ( Action action = nullptr)

The same as forward().

When called with no arguments it escapes the processing chain entirely.

See also
finalize()

Definition at line 339 of file context.cpp.

References action.

Referenced by Cutelyst::RoleACL::aroundExecute(), and Cutelyst::Action::doExecute().

◆ detachAsync()

void Context::detachAsync ( )
noexcept

Detaches the processing chain telling the Engine that the request is not finished yet.

The scoped ASync class can make handling async requests easier.

It’s often useful to call async API’s. While convenient, the use of QEventLoop will only work for the first request or lead to a crash due stacking of calls.

This method, tells the Engine that this request is not finished yet, making it return to the event loop to process other requests or the task that was created prior to calling this.

Once done, call attachAsync() in order to process the remaining of the action chain.

Definition at line 349 of file context.cpp.

Referenced by Cutelyst::UA::forwardAsync().

◆ detached()

bool Context::detached ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the last executed Action requested that the processing be escaped.

Definition at line 333 of file context.cpp.

Referenced by Cutelyst::Action::doExecute().

◆ dispatcher()

Dispatcher * Context::dispatcher ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the dispatcher instance. See Cutelyst::Dispatcher.

Definition at line 139 of file context.cpp.

◆ engine()

Engine * Context::engine ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the engine instance. See Cutelyst::Engine.

Definition at line 85 of file context.cpp.

◆ error()

bool Context::error ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if an error was set.

QStringList Context::errors ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a list of errors that were defined.

Referenced by Cutelyst::EngineRequest::finalizeError().

◆ execute()

bool Context::execute ( Component code)

◆ finalize

void Context::finalize ( )
slot

Finalize the request right away. This is automatically called at the end of the actions chain.

Definition at line 493 of file context.cpp.

References QString::fromLatin1(), QString::number(), QByteArray::number(), QString::size(), and QString::truncate().

Referenced by attachAsync().

◆ forward() [1/2]

bool Context::forward ( Component component)

This is one way of calling another action (method) in the same or a different controller. You can also use directly call another method to the same or a different controller.

The main difference is that 'forward' uses some of the Cutelyst request cycle overhead, including debugging, which may be useful to you. On the other hand, there are some complications to using 'forward', restrictions on values returned from 'forward', and it may not handle errors as you prefer. Whether you use 'forward' or not is up to you; it is not considered superior to the other ways to call a method.

This calls Component::execute().

Keep in mind that the End() method used is that of the caller action. So a c->detach() inside a forwarded action would run the End() method from the original action requested.

Definition at line 393 of file context.cpp.

References action.

Referenced by Cutelyst::RenderView::doExecute().

◆ forward() [2/2]

bool Context::forward ( QStringView  action)

This is one way of calling another action (method) in the same or a different controller. You can also use directly call another method to the same or a different controller.

The main difference is that 'forward' uses some of the Cutelyst request cycle overhead, including debugging, which may be useful to you. On the other hand, there are some complications to using 'forward', restrictions on values returned from 'forward', and it may not handle errors as you prefer. Whether you use 'forward' or not is up to you; it is not considered superior to the other ways to call a method.

This calls another action, by its private name.

Keep in mind that the End() method used is that of the caller action. So a c->detach() inside a forwarded action would run the End() method from the original action requested.

Definition at line 399 of file context.cpp.

References action.

◆ getAction()

Action * Context::getAction ( QStringView  action,
QStringView  ns = {} 
) const

Gets an action in a given namespace ns.

Definition at line 405 of file context.cpp.

References action, and ns.

◆ getActions()

QVector< Action * > Context::getActions ( QStringView  action,
QStringView  ns = {} 
) const

Gets all actions of a given action name in a namespace ns and all parent namespaces.

Definition at line 411 of file context.cpp.

References action, and ns.

◆ locale()

◆ ns()

QString Context::ns ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the namespace of the current action. I.e. the URI prefix corresponding to the controller of the current action.

For example: on a class named FooBar which inherits Controller this will return 'foo/bar'.

Definition at line 121 of file context.cpp.

◆ plugin()

template<typename T >
T Cutelyst::Context::plugin ( )
inline

Returns the registered plugin that casts to the template type T.

Definition at line 490 of file context.h.

◆ plugins()

QVector< Cutelyst::Plugin * > Context::plugins ( ) const

Returns all registered plugins.

Definition at line 417 of file context.cpp.

◆ qtTrId()

QString Cutelyst::Context::qtTrId ( const char *  id,
int  n = -1 
) const
inline

Finds and returns a translated string.

Returns a translated string identified by id. If no matching string is found, the id itself is returned. This can be used similar to Qt’s global qtTrId() function.

If n >= 0, all occurences of %n in the resulting string are replaced with a decimal representation of n. In addition, appending n’s value, the translation may vary.

Meta data and comments can be passed as documented for QObject::tr(). In addition, it is possible to supply a source string template like that:

//% <C string>

or

\begincomment% <C string> \endcomment

Example:

void MyController::index(Context *c)
{
//% "%n fooish bar(s) found.\n"
//% "Do you want to continue?"
c->res()->setBody(c->qtTrId("my-app-translation-id", n));
}
Context(Application *app)
Definition: context.cpp:29

Creating QM files suitable for use with this function requires passing the -idbased option to the lrelease tool.

Definition at line 103 of file context.cpp.

Referenced by Cutelyst::RenderView::doExecute(), and Cutelyst::CuteleeView::render().

◆ response()

◆ setCustomView()

bool Context::setCustomView ( QStringView  name)

Defines the View to be used to render the request, it must be previously be registered by Cutelyst::Application.

Action classes like RenderView will use this value to overwrite their settings.

Returns true if a view with the given name was found.

Definition at line 175 of file context.cpp.

◆ setLocale()

void Context::setLocale ( const QLocale locale)

Defines the current locale to be used when processing a View or translating user messages.

Setting a locale on a web application can be done in many ways, so it’s up to the developer to decide which one to use.

For example it’s possible to try to guess the user locale with the request header Accept-Language, or use the chained dispatcher to first match the locale as in "example.com/pt-br/some_action", or store the locale into a cookie or session.

Be sure to set it as soon as possible so that all content can be properly localized.

◆ stack()

QStack< Component * > Context::stack ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the internal execution stack (actions that are currently executing).

Definition at line 224 of file context.cpp.

◆ stash() [1/4]

QVariantHash & Context::stash ( )

Returns a QVariantHash reference to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass it between components during a request.

The stash is automatically sent to the view. The stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see Session for a complete system integrated with Cutelyst).

Definition at line 182 of file context.cpp.

◆ stash() [2/4]

QVariant Context::stash ( const QString key) const

A convenient method to retrieve a single value from the stash by key.

Definition at line 188 of file context.cpp.

◆ stash() [3/4]

QVariant Context::stash ( const QString key,
const QVariant defaultValue 
) const

A convenient method to retrieve a single value with the stash by key. If key is not found, defaultValue will be returned.

Definition at line 194 of file context.cpp.

◆ stash() [4/4]

void Context::stash ( const QVariantHash &  unite)

You can set hash keys by passing arguments, that will be united with the stash, which may be used to store data and pass it between components during a request.

The stash is automatically sent to the View. The stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see Session for a complete system integrated with Cutelyst).

If a given key is present it will be replaced.

◆ stashRemove()

bool Context::stashRemove ( const QString key)

Removes the item that has the key from the stash. Returns true if any item was removed.

Definition at line 206 of file context.cpp.

◆ stashTake()

QVariant Context::stashTake ( const QString key)

Removes the item with the key from the stash and returns the value associated with it. If the item does not exist in the stash, the function simply returns a default-constructed value. If you don’t use the return value, stashRemove() is more efficient.

Definition at line 200 of file context.cpp.

◆ uriForAction() [1/2]

QUrl Cutelyst::Context::uriForAction ( QStringView  path,
const ParamsMultiMap queryValues

◆ uriForAction() [2/2]

QUrl Context::uriForAction ( QStringView  path,
const QStringList captures = {},
const QStringList args = {},
const ParamsMultiMap queryValues = {} 
) const

A private path to the Cutelyst action you want to create a URI for.

This is a shortcut for calling c->dispatcher()->getActionByPath(path) and passing the resulting action and the remaining arguments to c->uriFor().

Note that although the path looks like a URI that dispatches to the wanted action, it is not a URI, but an internal path to that action.

For example, if the action looks like:

class Users : public Cutelyst::Controller
{
public:
C_ATTR(lst, :Path(the-list))
void lst(Context *c);
};
Cutelyst Controller base class.
Definition: controller.h:56

You can use: c->uriForAction('/users/lst'); and it will create the URI /users/the-list.
