Detailed Description

A prefab template node contains information that is required to create node instances: the metaclass of the node, the (initial) property values of the node, information about the bindings and node components of the node, and the list of of child nodes.

Typically prefab templates nodes are defined in Kanzi Studio and loaded from a kzb file as PrefabTemplate resources. A Prefab template contains a tree of prefab template nodes and can be used to instantiate a tree of nodes.

Note that nodes can be created also directly by using the create function in each Node class. You don't necessarily need to use PrefabTemplate or PrefabTemplateNode instances.

A prefab template node can represent either a normal node with a metaclass, or a placeholder that replaces itself with the root of another prefab template when instantiated. Prefab template nodes and their children should always form a simple tree structure. Creating a cycle with prefab placeholders is not allowed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ create()

static PrefabTemplateNodeSharedPtr kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::create ( Domain domain,
const Metaclass metaclass,
string_view  name 
)
static

Creates a prefab template node that can be instantiated to create a node.

Parameters
domainThe domain to use.
metaclassThe metaclass of the created node.
nameThe name of the created node.

◆ createPlaceholder()

static PrefabTemplateNodeSharedPtr kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::createPlaceholder ( Domain domain,
PrefabTemplateSharedPtr  instantiatedPrefab,
string_view  name 
)
static

Creates a prefab template node that can be instantiated to create an instance of another prefab template.

Parameters
domainThe domain to use.
instantiatedPrefabA reference to another prefab that will be instantiated in place of this prefab template node.
nameThe name of the placeholder node. Overrides the name of the root node of the referenced prefab template.

◆ instantiate()

NodeSharedPtr kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::instantiate ( NodeSharedPtr  templateRoot)

Creates a tree of nodes by instantiating a prefab template node and its children.

Parameters
templateRootA Pointer to an existing node instance that will act as the template root for the instantiated node tree. Any ##Template bindings in the prefab resolve to this node. If the templateRoot is set to nullptr, the newly instantiated root node will act as the template root.
Returns
Pointer to the root node of the created node tree.

◆ addBinding()

void kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::addBinding ( BindingLoadInfo  createInfo)
inline

Adds a binding to the prefab template node.

This binding will be added to the node on creation.

Parameters
createInfoBinding to add.

◆ addChild()

void kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::addChild ( PrefabTemplateNodeSharedPtr  child)
inline

Adds a child for the prefab template node.

Parameters
childChild prefab template node.

◆ addProperty()

void kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::addProperty ( AbstractPropertyType  propertyType,
const Variant value 
)
inline

Adds a property value to the prefab template node.

Parameters
propertyTypeProperty type to add.
valueProperty value to add.

◆ addResourceDictionaryEntry()

void kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::addResourceDictionaryEntry ( const ResourceID resourceID,
string_view  resourceURL 
)

Adds an entry to the resource dictionary of the prefab template node.

If the prefab template node does not have a resource dictionary, this function creates the dictionary first.

Parameters
resourceIDThe key of the dictionary entry.
resourceURLThe value of the dictionary entry.

◆ getMetaclass()

const Metaclass* kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::getMetaclass ( ) const
inline

Gets the metaclass of the prefab template node.

Returns
The metaclass of the prefab template node.

◆ cleanupInstances()

void kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::cleanupInstances ( )

Cleans up expired elements from instances.

Only used when running inside Kanzi preview. Outside the Kanzi preview does not do anything.

Member Data Documentation

◆ children

ChildContainer kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::children

◆ typeIdentifier

const Metaclass* kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::typeIdentifier

The metaclass of the node.

◆ referencedPrefab

PrefabTemplateSharedPtr kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::referencedPrefab

Reference to another prefab template if the template node is a prefab placeholder.

If the prefab template node is not a placeholder, it needs to have a typeIdentifier.

◆ instances

InstanceReferenceContainer kanzi::PrefabTemplateNode::instances

Collection of node instances that have been created from this prefab template node.

Only used when running inside Kanzi preview. Outside the Kanzi preview the container is left empty.
