Detailed Description

The CuteleeView is a view handler that renders templates using the Cutelee engine. It loads template files from the included paths and populates them with stash values.

The view should be initialized in you reimplementation of Application::init(), it can than be easily called from a RenderView action. You can specify a name for your view that can be either set dynamically via Context::setCustomView() or via the :View() argument of the RenderView action. A view with an empty name will be the default view.

The view will try to find the template file name to render in the stash using the "template" key. If that key is not available, it will try to find a template named after the private name of the current action.

Included additional tags

Beside the tags included in Cutelee, Cutelyst provides some own tags:

c_uri_for

This tag uses Context::uriFor() to create an URL for a specific path populated with arguments and optional query parameters. Path is the only required argument for the tag, the QUERY keyword must preceed query parameters.

{% c_uri_for "/path" "arg1" "arg2" QUERY "foo=bar" c.req.queryParams %}

c_csrf_token

This tag creates a hidden HTML form input field containing a CSRF protection token generated by CSRFProtection::getTokenFormField(). It has no parameters and should be used inside form tags.

{% c_csrf_token %}

c_csrf_token_value

This tag writes the current CSRF token as returned by CSRFProtection::getToken(). This can be useful if you only need the token value instead of a complete form field to use it for example in a meta tag for access with JavaScript.

{% c_csrf_token_value %}

Usage example

Initialize the view in your reimplementation of Application::init():

#include <Cutelyst/Plugins/View/Cutelee/cuteleeview.h>
using namespace Cutelyst;
bool MyApp::init()
{
// other initialization stuff
// ...
// register the view to the application without a name
// as our default view
auto view = new CuteleeView(this);
view->setCached(true);
view->setIncludePaths({"/path/to/my/tempalte/files"});
// if you want to use Cutelee tags for internationalization
// and localization, you have to explicitely load that Cutelee plugin library
view->engine()->addDefaultLibrary("cutelee_18ntags");
}
A view that renders templates using Cutelee engine.
The Cutelyst namespace holds all public Cutelyst API.

Load the view with a RenderView action on for example the End() method of your root controller:

#include <Cutelyste/Controller>
using namespace Cutelyst;
class Root : public Controller
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit Root(QObject *parent = nullptr);
~Root() override = default;
C_ATTR(index, :Path :Args(0))
void index(Context *c);
private:
// Here we specify the RenderView action using the default nameless view
// created in our app’s init method. We could use the additional :View("foo")
// argument to select a specific named view if we would have more than one.
C_ATTR(End, :ActionClass("RenderView"))
void End(Context *c) { Q_UNUSED(c); }
}
The Cutelyst Context.
Definition context.h:42
Cutelyst Controller base class.
Definition controller.h:56

Inside the implementation of the index method from above we now set the name of the template file to use:

void Root::index(Context *c)
{
// other stuff for our index method
// ...
// the CuteleeView called by the RenderView action of the End method will now try
// to load the template file from /path/to/my/template/files/frontend/index.html
c->setStash("template", "frontend/index.html");
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CuteleeView()

CUTELEE_END_LOOKUP CuteleeView::CuteleeView ( QObject parent = nullptr,
const QString name = QString() 
)
explicit

Constructs a CuteleeView object with the given parent and name.

The name can be used to specify different views that can be called either dynamically by Context::setCustomView() or with the :View() argument of the RenderView action.

References QDir::currentPath(), QObject::parent(), and setIncludePaths().

Member Function Documentation

◆ addTranslationCatalog()

void CuteleeView::addTranslationCatalog ( const QString path,
const QString catalog 
)

Dynamically adds translation catalog at path to the translator.

Translation catalogs can be used to dynamically integrate translations into the CuteleeView, for example for plugins and themes. The catalog could be the name of an extension for example that is loaded from a locale specifc directory under path.

The catalog will be loaded in the following way: /path/locale/catalog, for example /usr/share/mycutelystapp/l10n/de_DE/fancytheme.qm. The current locale is defined by Context::locale() when rendering the theme. The path /usr/share/myapp/l10n would then contain locale specific subdirectories like de_DE, pt_BR, etc. that contain the translation files named by catalog.

Usage example:
bool MyCutelystApp::init()
{
// ...
auto view = new CuteleeView(this);
view->addTranslationCatalog(QStringLiteral("/usr/share/mycutelystapp/l10n"),
QStringLiteral("fancytheme"));
// ...
}

◆ addTranslationCatalogs()

void CuteleeView::addTranslationCatalogs ( const QMultiHash< QString, QString > &  catalogs)

Adds a dictionary of translation catalogs and paths to the translator.

The key of the QHash is the name of the catalog, the value is the path. See addTranslationCatalog() for more information about translation catalogs.

Cutelyst 1.5.0

◆ addTranslator() [1/2]

void CuteleeView::addTranslator ( const QLocale locale,
QTranslator translator 
)

Adds a translator for the specified locale to the list of translators.

Example usage
bool MyCutelystApp::init()
{
// ...
auto view = new CuteleeView(this);
auto deDeTrans = new QTranslator(this);
if (deDeTrans->load(QStringLiteral("de_DE"),
QStringLiteral("/path/to/my/translations")) {
view->addTranslator(QLocale("de_DE"), deDeTrans);
}
auto ptBrTrans = new QTranslator(this);
if (ptBrTrans->load(QStringLiteral("pt_BR"),
QStringLiteral("/path/to/my/translations")) {
view->addTranslator(QLocale("pt_BR"), ptBrTrans);
}
// ...
}

It is mostly easier to use loadTranslationsFromDir() to load all available translations in a bunch.

◆ addTranslator() [2/2]

void CuteleeView::addTranslator ( const QString locale,
QTranslator translator 
)

Adds a translator for the specified locale to the list of translators.

The locale string should 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.

Returns the list of include paths.

◆ isCaching()

bool CuteleeView::isCaching ( ) const

Returns true if caching is enabled.

◆ loadTranslationsFromDir()

QVector< QLocale > CuteleeView::loadTranslationsFromDir ( const QString filename,
const QString directory,
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 template if the translation file names follow a common schema. Let us assume you organised your translation files as follows:

  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/mytemplate_de.qm
  • /usr/share/myapp/translations/mytemplate_pt_BR.qm
  • ...

You can then use loadTranslationsFromDir() on your registered CuteleeView object as follows:

bool MyApp::init()
{
auto view = new CuteleeView(this);
view->loadTranslationsFromDir(QStringLiteral("mytemplate"),
QStringLiteral("/usr/share/myapp/translations"),
QStringLiteral("_"));
}

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".
