Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Application()

Application::Application ( QObject *  parent = nullptr)
explicit

The constructor is used to setup the class configuration, subclasses should only use this for objects that do not require configuration to be ready.

A Web Engine will instantiate your application through this class, next it will load the settings file, and in the end it will call init() which is where your application should do it's own setup.

Warning
DO NOT register your controllers, plugins or anything that might want to use config() in here, do that in init()

Definition at line 60 of file application.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addTranslator() [1/2]

void Application::addTranslator ( const QLocale &  locale,
QTranslator *  translator 
)

Adds a translator for the specified locale.

You can add multiple translators for different application parts for every supported locale. The installed translators will then be used by Context::translate() (what itself will use Application::translate()) to translate strings according to the locale set by Context::setLocale().

Usage example:
bool MyCutelystApp::init()
{
// ...
auto trans = new QTranslator(this);
QLocale deDE(QLocale::German, QLocale::Germany);
if (trans->load(deDE, QStringLiteral("mycutelystapp"), QStringLiteral("."), QStringLiteral("/usr/share/mycutelystapp/l10n")) {
addTranslator(deDE, trans);
}
// ...
}

◆ addTranslator() [2/2]

void Application::addTranslator ( const QString &  locale,
QTranslator *  translator 
)

Adds a translator for the specified locale.

The locale string has to be parseable by QLocale.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void Application::addTranslators ( const QLocale &  locale,

◆ afterDispatch

void Cutelyst::Application::afterDispatch ( Cutelyst::Context c)
signal

This signal is emitted right after the Action found by the dispatcher got executed.

Referenced by handleRequest(), and Cutelyst::Session::setup().

◆ beforeDispatch

void Cutelyst::Application::beforeDispatch ( Cutelyst::Context c)
signal

This signal is emitted right after the Dispatcher returns the Action that will be executed.

Referenced by handleRequest(), and Cutelyst::CSRFProtection::setup().

◆ beforePrepareAction

void Cutelyst::Application::beforePrepareAction ( Cutelyst::Context c,
bool *  skipMethod 
)
signal

This signal is emitted before the Dispatcher is called to find an action. It's useful if you need to intercept requests before they are dispached. Always check skipMethod and return if it's true. In case you want to stop further processing set skipMethod to true.

◆ init()

bool Application::init ( )
protectedvirtual

Do your application initialization here, if your application should not proceed log some information that might help on debuggin and return false

For example if your application only works with PostgeSQL and the Qt driver is not available it makes sense to fail here. However you should not initialize resouces that cannot be shared among process.

Returns
true if your application was successfuly initted

◆ inited()

bool Cutelyst::Application::inited ( ) const

Returns true if the application has been inited.

◆ loadTranslations()

void Application::loadTranslations ( const QString &  filename,
const QString &  directory = QString(),
const QString &  prefix = QString(),
const QString &  suffix = QString() 
)

Loads translations for a specific filename from a single directory.

This can be used to load translations for a specific component if the translation file names follow a common schema. Let us assume you organised your translation files as follows:

  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/myapp_de.qm
  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/myapp_pt_BR.qm
  • ...

You can then use loadTranslations() in your reimplementation of Application::init() as follows:

bool MyApp::init()
{
loadTranslations(QStringLiteral("myapp"), QStringLiteral("/usr/share/myapp/translations"), QStringLiteral("_"));
}

If directory is empty, the default directory, set by -DI18NDIR, will be used. prefix is the part between the file name and the locale part. In the example above it is "_", if it is not set the default "." will be used. The suffix is the file name suffix that defaults to ".qm".

◆ loadTranslationsFromDir()

QVector< QLocale > Application::loadTranslationsFromDir ( const QString &  filename,
const QString &  directory = QString(),
const QString &  prefix = QStringLiteral("."),
const QString &  suffix = QStringLiteral(".qm") 
)

Loads translations for a specific filename from a single directory and returns a list of added locales.

This can be used to load translations for a specific component if the translation file names follow a common schema. Let us assume you organised your translation files as follows:

  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/myapp_de.qm
  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/myapp_pt_BR.qm
  • ...

You can then use loadTranslationsFromDir() in your reimplementation of Application::init() as follows:

bool MyApp::init()
{
loadTranslationsFromDir(QStringLiteral("myapp"), QStringLiteral("/usr/share/myapp/translations"), QStringLiteral("_"));
}

If directory is empty, the default directory, set by -DI18NDIR, will be used. prefix is the part between the file name and the locale part. In the example above it is "_", if it is not set the default "." will be used. The suffix is the file name suffix that defaults to ".qm".

◆ loadTranslationsFromDirs()

QVector< QLocale > Application::loadTranslationsFromDirs ( const QString &  directory,
const QString &  filename 
)

Loads translations for a specific filename from a directory structure under directory and returns a list of added locales.

This can be used to load translations for a specific component or application if the the translation files are organized in subdirectories named after locale codes. Let us assume you organised your translation files as follows:

  • /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/myapp.qm
  • /usr/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/myapp.qm
  • ...

You can then use loadTranslationsFromDirs() in your reimplementation of Application::init() as follows:

bool MyApp::init()
{
loadTranslationsFromDirs(QStringLiteral("/usr/share/locale"), QStringLiteral("LC_MESSAGES/myapp.qm"));
}

◆ postFork()

bool Application::postFork ( )
protectedvirtual

This method is called after the engine forks

After the web engine forks itself it will call this function so that you can initialize resources that can't be shared with the parent process, namely sockets and file descriptors.

A good example of usage of this function is when openning a connection to the database which can't be shared with other process and should probably make this function return false if it fails to open.

Default implementation returns true.

Returns
False if the engine should not use this process

◆ registerController()

bool Application::registerController ( Controller controller)
protected

This method registers a Controller class which is responsible for handlying Requests, since they are reused between multiple requests beaware of not storing data there, instead you might want to use a session plugin or the stash.

Parameters

Returns
true if succeeded

Definition at line 115 of file application.cpp.

◆ registerDispatcher()

bool Application::registerDispatcher ( DispatchType dispatcher)
protected

Registers a custom DispatchType, if none is registered all the built-in dispatchers types will be registered

◆ registerPlugin()

bool Application::registerPlugin ( Plugin plugin)
protected

Returns
true if the plugin could be registered

◆ registerView()

bool Application::registerView ( View view)

Parameters

◆ setConfig()

void Application::setConfig ( const QString &  key,
const QVariant &  value 
)
protected

Change the value of the configuration key You should never call this from random parts of the code as a way to store shareable data, it should only be called by a subclass

Definition at line 249 of file application.cpp.

◆ shuttingDown

void Cutelyst::Application::shuttingDown ( Cutelyst::Application app)
signal

This signal is likely to be emitted when the worker process should stop, at this point the application has a limited time to finish it's operations, if a timeout is reached the application will get killed.

◆ translate()

QString Application::translate ( const QLocale &  locale,
const char *  context,
const char *  sourceText,
const char *  disambiguation = nullptr,
int  n = -1 
) const

Translates the sourceText into the target locale language.

This uses the installed translators for the specified locale to translate the sourceText for the given context into the target locale. Optionally you can use a disambiguation and/or the n parameter to translate a pluralized version.
