Detailed Description

MessageArguments is the base class for arguments passed in messages.

An instance of MessageArguments together with an instance of MessageType forms a Kanzi message. In Kanzi when you dispatch a message, you dispatch a message of certain type and arguments.

While MessageArguments is a base class where you can inherit your own specialized arguments, MessageType is a templated class which takes message argument type as its template parameter. In practice this means that each MessageType is linked with a certain MessageArguments type. You can derive your own arguments class or use the MessageArguments base class. Note that MessageArguments as a base class carries only the basic message information, such as the timestamp and source of the message. To dispatch any other data with your messages, inherit your own message arguments class.

You can link a message type with only one type of message arguments, but you can use a certain type of message arguments with multiple message types. See MessageType.

template<typename TDataType >

TDataType kanzi::MessageArguments::getArgument ( const PropertyType< TDataType > & argumentType ) const

inline

Returns the value of an argument.

Parameters

argumentType The PropertyType argument whose value to fetch.

Returns: The value of the argument. If the argument is not present in this message arguments instance, returns the default value of the PropertyType.

template<typename TDataType >

optional<TDataType> kanzi::MessageArguments::getOptionalArgument ( const PropertyType< TDataType > & argumentType ) const

inline

Returns the value of an argument.

Parameters

argumentType The PropertyType argument whose value to fetch.

Returns: The value of the argument. If the argument is not present in this message arguments instance, returns nullopt.

bool kanzi::MessageArguments::getAbstractArgument	(	AbstractPropertyType	argumentType,
		Variant &	variant
	)		const

Returns the value of an argument using AbstractPropertyType.

Parameters

argumentType	The AbstractPropertyType argument whose value to get.
variant	The variant where to store the message argument value.

Returns: If the argumentType is present in this message arguments instance, true, otherwise false.

template<typename TDataType >

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setArgument	(	const PropertyType< TDataType > &	argumentType,
		typename PropertyType< TDataType >::DataType	value
	)

inline

Sets the value of an argument.

Parameters

argumentType	The PropertyType argument whose value to set.
value	The value to set for the argument.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setAbstractArgument	(	AbstractPropertyType	argumentType,
		const Variant &	variant
	)

Sets the value of an argument using AbstractPropertyType.

Parameters

argumentType	The AbstractPropertyType argument whose value to set.
variant	The variant whose value to store to the message argument value.

bool kanzi::MessageArguments::isFrom ( const Node & source ) const

inline

Returns whether a node is the source node of a message.

Parameters

source The node to check.

Returns: If the passed node is the source of the message, true, otherwise false.

shared_ptr<Node> kanzi::MessageArguments::getSource ( ) const

Returns the source node for a message.

Returns: The source node where the message was dispatched.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setHandled ( bool handled )

inline

Sets the handling status for a message.

Parameters

handled The new handling status.

bool kanzi::MessageArguments::isHandled ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the message is handled.

Returns: If the message is handled, true, otherwise false.

TimePoint kanzi::MessageArguments::getTimestamp ( ) const

inline

Returns the timestamp of a message.

Returns: The timestamp of the message.

detail::MessageDispatcher* kanzi::MessageArguments::getDispatcher ( ) const

inline

Returns the message dispatcher that dispatches a message.

Returns: The MessageDispatcher that dispatches the message.

AbstractMessageType kanzi::MessageArguments::getType ( ) const

inline

Returns the message type of these message arguments as an AbstractMessageType instance.

Returns: The AbstractMessageType of these message arguments.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setSource ( Node * source )

inline

Sets the source node that dispatches a message.

Parameters

source The source of the message.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setValid ( bool valid )

inline

Sets the validity of a message.

Parameters

valid The validity of the message.

bool kanzi::MessageArguments::isValid ( ) const

inline

Returns whether a message is valid.

Returns: If the message is valid, returns true, otherwise false.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setDispatcher ( detail::MessageDispatcher * dispatcher )

inline

Sets a dispatcher for a message.

Parameters

dispatcher Message dispatcher that dispatches the message.

void kanzi::MessageArguments::setType ( AbstractMessageType type )

inline

Sets the type of a message.

Parameters

static const Metaclass* kanzi::MessageArguments::getStaticMetaclass ( )

static

Initializes and returns static metadata of base MessageArguments class.

Returns: Metaclass object holding metadata of base MessageArguments class.
