Detailed Description

Use a DataTrigger to apply an action to either set a property value of a target node or activate an Activity node.

A DataTrigger keeps that action applied for as long as the condition in that DataTrigger is met. When the condition in that DataTrigger is no longer met, Kanzi reverts the changes that it applied using that DataTrigger. Note that in a DataTrigger you can use only ApplyAction actions: ApplyActivationAction and ApplyPropertyAction.

You set the condition in a DataTrigger in the form of a binding expression that evaluates to either true or false. In the condition you can use as an input either a property or a data source.

For example, you can use a DataTrigger to control the logic and activation state of Activity nodes in Activity Host nodes using ApplyAction actions.

ApplyAction actions of a DataTrigger have higher priority than the actions of any other Trigger. For example, if you use a DataTrigger with an ApplyPropertyAction that sets the DataDrivenExclusiveActivityHostConcept::ActiveActivityIndexProperty to some value and any other Trigger with a SetPropertyAction that sets that same property to a different value, the effect of the SetPropertyAction becomes visible only after Kanzi unapplies the ApplyPropertyAction.

Examples

To use a DataTrigger to control the activation of an Activity node with an ApplyActivationAction:

        // Create an instance of an Apply Activation action.
        auto action = ApplyActivationAction::create(domain, "applyAction");

        // Set the name of the target Activity node that you want to activate with the Apply Activation action.
        action->setProperty(ApplyActivationAction::ActivationPathProperty, firstActivityName);
        // Set the path of the Activity Host node that activates the target Activity node.
        action->setProperty(ApplyActivationAction::ActivityHostPathProperty, "../");

        // Create a condition expression for the Data Trigger.
        // Condition: sourceNode.MyPropertyA == m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue.
        ExpressionBindingSource::ValueSourceContainer valueSources;
        valueSources.push_back(ObjectPropertyExpressionValueSource::create(".", MyPropertyA, PropertyFieldWhole));
        ExpressionBindingSource::BindingOperationContainer operations;
        operations.push_back(BindingExpressionOpCode(BindingExpressionArgumentTypeSourceRegister0, PropertyFieldWhole,
                                                     BindingExpressionArgumentTypeConstantRegister0, PropertyFieldWhole,
                                                     KZU_EXPRESSION_VALIDATOR_OPERATION_COMPARE_EQUAL, 0, PropertyFieldWhole));
        vector<Variant> constantRegisters;
        constantRegisters.emplace_back(m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue);

        // Create an expression binding.
        auto binding = ExpressionBinding::create(operations, valueSources, constantRegisters, 2);

        auto dataTrigger = DataTrigger::create(domain, "data trigger");
        dataTrigger->setConditionExpression(binding);
        dataTrigger->addAction(action);
        dataTriggerOwner->addNodeComponent(dataTrigger);

        screen->attach();

        // Since the condition of the Data Trigger is not met, Kanzi does not activate the Activity node that you set in the Apply Activation action::ActivationPathProperty.
        dataTriggerOwner->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertySomeOtherValue1);
        domain->getResourceManager()->update();
        // As the condition of the Data Trigger is not satisfied,
        // the Activity node set in Apply Activation action::ActivationPathProperty will not be activated.
        auto firstActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(firstActivityName);
        auto secondActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(secondActivityName);
        assertTrue(!firstActivity);
        assertTrue(!secondActivity);

        // Set the property of the source node to meet the condition. When the condition is met,
        // the trigger sets off the Apply Activation action, and the action activates the Activity node set in the
        // ApplyActivationAction::ActivationPathProperty.
        dataTriggerOwner->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue);
        domain->getResourceManager()->update();
        firstActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(firstActivityName);
        secondActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(secondActivityName);
        assertEquals(ActivityConcept::Status::Active, firstActivity->getProperty(ActivityConcept::StatusProperty));
        assertTrue(!secondActivity);

        // As soon as the condition of the Data Trigger is not met,
        // Kanzi deactivates the Activity node set in the ApplyActivationAction::ActivationPathProperty.
        dataTriggerOwner->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertySomeOtherValue2);
        domain->getResourceManager()->update();
        firstActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(firstActivityName);
        secondActivity = activityHost->lookupNode<Node>(secondActivityName);
        assertTrue(!firstActivity);
        assertTrue(!secondActivity);

To use a DataTrigger to set the value of a property with an ApplyPropertyAction when a condition in a DataTrigger is met:

        // Create an instance of an Apply Property action.
        auto action = ApplyPropertyAction::create(domain, "applyAction");

        // Set the path of the target node to which you want to add the Apply Property action.
        action->setProperty(ApplyPropertyAction::TargetObjectPathProperty, "targetNode");

        // Create a binding to configure how you want to set a property of the target node.
        action->addValueBinding(Variant(targetPropertyTargetValue), MyPropertyB, PropertyField::PropertyFieldWhole);

        // Create a condition expression for the Data Trigger.
        // Condition: sourceNode.MyPropertyA == m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue.
        ExpressionBindingSource::ValueSourceContainer valueSources;
        valueSources.push_back(ObjectPropertyExpressionValueSource::create("sourceNode", MyPropertyA, PropertyFieldWhole));
        ExpressionBindingSource::BindingOperationContainer operations;
        operations.push_back(BindingExpressionOpCode(BindingExpressionArgumentTypeSourceRegister0, PropertyFieldWhole,
                                                     BindingExpressionArgumentTypeConstantRegister0, PropertyFieldWhole,
                                                     KZU_EXPRESSION_VALIDATOR_OPERATION_COMPARE_EQUAL, 0, PropertyFieldWhole));
        vector<Variant> constantRegisters;
        constantRegisters.emplace_back(m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue);

        // Create an expression binding.
        auto binding = ExpressionBinding::create(operations, valueSources, constantRegisters, 2);

        // Create a Data Trigger, add the condition and the Apply Property action that you created earlier, and add the trigger to the Screen node.
        auto dataTrigger = DataTrigger::create(domain, "data trigger");
        dataTrigger->setConditionExpression(binding);
        dataTrigger->addAction(action);
        screen->addNodeComponent(dataTrigger);

        screen->attach();

        // Since the condition of the Data Trigger is not met, the property of the target node does not change.
        sourceNode->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertySomeOtherValue1);
        assertEquals(targetPropertyDefaultValue, targetNode->getProperty(MyPropertyB));

        // Set the property of the source node to meet the condition. When the condition is met,
        // the trigger sets off the Apply Property action, and the action updates the property in the target node.
        sourceNode->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertyTriggeringValue);
        assertEquals(targetPropertyTargetValue, targetNode->getProperty(MyPropertyB));

        // As soon as the condition of the Data Trigger is not met,
        // Kanzi rolls back the property in the target node to the value before the Apply Property action was applied.
        sourceNode->setProperty(MyPropertyA, m_sourcePropertySomeOtherValue2);
        assertEquals(targetPropertyDefaultValue, targetNode->getProperty(MyPropertyB));
