◆ config() [2/2]

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

Returns a configuration value for key with an optional default value

Definition at line 461 of file context.cpp.

◆ controller() [1/2]

Controller* Cutelyst::Context::controller ( ) const

Returns the current controller

◆ controller() [2/2]

Controller * Context::controller ( const QString &  name) const

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

Definition at line 170 of file context.cpp.

◆ controllerName()

QString Cutelyst::Context::controllerName ( ) const

The current controller name

◆ customView()

View * Context::customView ( ) const

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

Definition at line 176 of file context.cpp.

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

◆ detach()

void Context::detach ( Action action = nullptr)

The same as forward(action)

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

Definition at line 346 of file context.cpp.

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

◆ detachAsync()

void Context::detachAsync ( )

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

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 356 of file context.cpp.

◆ detached()

bool Context::detached ( ) const

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

Definition at line 340 of file context.cpp.

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

◆ dispatcher()

Dispatcher * Context::dispatcher ( ) const

Returns the dispatcher instance. See Cutelyst::Dispatcher

Definition at line 152 of file context.cpp.

◆ engine()

Engine * Context::engine ( ) const

Returns the engine instance. See Cutelyst::Engine

Definition at line 98 of file context.cpp.

◆ execute()

bool Context::execute ( Component code)

◆ 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.

forward 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 385 of file context.cpp.

◆ forward() [2/2]

bool Context::forward ( const QString &  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.

forward 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 391 of file context.cpp.

◆ getAction()

Action * Context::getAction ( const QString &  action,
const QString &  ns = QString() 
) const

Gets an action in a given namespace.

Definition at line 397 of file context.cpp.

◆ getActions()

QVector< Action * > Context::getActions ( const QString &  action,
const QString &  ns = QString() 
) const

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

Definition at line 403 of file context.cpp.

◆ locale()

QLocale Context::locale ( ) const

◆ next

void Context::next ( bool  force = false)
slot

Decreases the local event loop counter created by wait() eventually quitting it's execution if 0 is reached.

If you set force to true it will quit the loop immediately regardless of it's counter.

Definition at line 526 of file context.cpp.

◆ ns()

QString Cutelyst::Context::ns ( ) const

Returns the namespace of the current action. i.e. the URI prefix corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example: // a class named FooBar which inherits Controller c->ns(); // returns 'foo/bar'

◆ plugins()

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

Returns all registered plugins

Definition at line 409 of file context.cpp.

◆ req()

Request* Cutelyst::Context::req ( ) const

Short for request()

◆ request()

Request* Cutelyst::Context::request ( ) const

Returns the current Request object containing information about the client request Request

◆ res()

Response * Context::res ( ) const

Returns the current Cutelyst::Response object, see there for details.

Definition at line 116 of file context.cpp.

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

◆ response()

Response * Context::response ( ) const

◆ setCustomView()

bool Context::setCustomView ( const QString &  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 188 of file context.cpp.

◆ setLocale()

void Context::setLocale ( const QLocale &  locale)

Defines the current locale to be used when processing Views 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, and or use the chained dispatcher to first match the locale as in "example.com/pt-br/some_action", and 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.

◆ setStash() [1/2]

void Context::setStash ( const QString &  key,
const ParamsMultiMap map 
)

A convenient method to set a single ParamsMultiMap to the stash

Definition at line 231 of file context.cpp.

◆ setStash() [2/2]

void Context::setStash ( const QString &  key,
const QVariant &  value 
)

◆ stack()

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

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

Definition at line 237 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 Cutelyst::Plugin::Session for a complete system integrated with Cutelyst).

◆ stash() [2/4]

QVariant Context::stash ( const QString &  key) const

A convenient method to retrieve a single value with a default value from the stash

Definition at line 207 of file context.cpp.

◆ stash() [4/4]

void Cutelyst::Context::stash ( const QVariantHash &  unite)
inline

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 Cutelyst::Plugin::Session for a complete system integrated with Cutelyst).

bool Context::stashRemove ( const QString &  key)

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

Definition at line 219 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 213 of file context.cpp.

◆ state()

bool Cutelyst::Context::state ( ) const

Contains the return value of the last executed action.

◆ translate()

QString Context::translate ( const char *  context,
const char *  sourceText,
const char *  disambiguation = nullptr,
int  n = -1 
) const

Translates the sourceText for the given context into the language defined by locale().

See Application::addTranslator() for information about installation of translators. Internally this function will use QTranslator::translate().

◆ uriFor() [4/4]

QUrl Context::uriFor ( const QString &  path = QString(),

◆ uriForAction() [2/2]

QUrl Context::uriForAction ( const QString &  path,
const QStringList &  captures = QStringList(),
const QStringList &  args = QStringList(),
const ParamsMultiMap queryValues = ParamsMultiMap() 
) 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->uri_for.

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);
};

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

◆ view()

View * Context::view ( const QString &  name = QString()) const

Returns the view with name name or nullptr if not found

Definition at line 182 of file context.cpp.

◆ wait()

bool Context::wait ( uint  count = 1)

This creates a local event loop that requires next() to be called count times.

If wait() was already called and didn't return it will increase the counter of the unfinished wait().

Returns true when the event loop finishes and false if the call only increased the event loop counter.
