Detailed Description

An abstract model for use with Wt's view classes.

This abstract model is used by several Wt view widgets as data models.

It may model data for both tree-like and table-like view widgets. Data is therefore organized in a hierarchical structure of tables, where every item stores data and items in column 0 can be the parent of a nested table of data. Every data item is uniquely identified by their row, column and parent index, and items may be referenced using the helper class WModelIndex.

Each item may provide data for one or more roles, and indicate options using flags. The different roles can be used to model different aspects of an item (its text value, an icon, style class), or to hold auxiliary custom information. The flags provide information to the View on possible interactivity.

Side::Top level data have an invalid parent WModelIndex.

The data itself is of type Wt::any, which can either be empty, or hold any type of data. Depending on the role however, view classes may expect certain types of data (e.g. a string for Wt::ItemDataRole::StyleClass).

Wt's standard view classes can display (Wt::ItemDataRole::Display) the following data:

The view classes know how to interpret data of these types as a string or as a number.

Conversion between native types and Wt::any is done like this:

To implement a custom model, you need to reimplement the following methods:

A crucial point in implementing a hierarchical model is to decide how to reference an index in terms of an internal pointer (WModelIndex::internalPointer()) or internal id (WModelIndex::internalId()). Other than the top-level index, which is special since it is referenced using an invalid index, every index with children must be identifiable using this number or pointer. For example, in the WStandardItemModel, the internal pointer points to the parent WStandardItem. For table models, the internal pointer plays no role, since only the toplevel index has children.

If you want to support editing of the model, then you need to indicate this support using a Wt::ItemFlag::Editable flag, and reimplement setData(). View classes will use the ItemDataRole::Edit to read and update the data for the editor.

When the model's data has been changed, the model must emit the dataChanged() signal.

Finally, there is a generic interface for insertion of new data or removal of data (changing the geometry), although this interface is not yet used by any View class:

Alternatively, you can provide your own API for changing the model. In either case it is important that you call the corresponding protected member functions which will emit the relevant signals so that views can adapt themselves to the new geometry.

Implemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WAggregateProxyModel, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel, Wt::WAbstractListModel, and Wt::WIdentityProxyModel.

virtual Signal<WModelIndex, int, int>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::columnsAboutToBeInserted ( )
virtual

Signal emitted before a number of columns will be inserted.

The first argument is the parent index. The two integer arguments are the column numbers that the first and last column will have when inserted.

columnsAboutToBeRemoved(), endRemoveColumns()
WModelIndex Wt::WAbstractItemModel::createIndex ( int  row,
int  column,
void *  ptr 
) const
protected

Creates a model index for the given row and column.

Use this method to create a model index. ptr is an internal pointer that may be used to identify the parent of the corresponding item. For a flat table model, ptr can thus always be 0.

See also
WModelIndex::internalPointer()
WModelIndex Wt::WAbstractItemModel::createIndex ( int  row,
int  column,
::uint64_t  id 
) const
protected

Creates a model index for the given row and column.

Use this method to create a model index. id is an internal id that may be used to identify the parent of the corresponding item. For a flat table model, ptr can thus always be 0.

See also
WModelIndex::internalId()
virtual cpp17::any Wt::WAbstractItemModel::data ( const WModelIndex index,
ItemDataRole  role = ItemDataRole::Display 
) const
pure virtual

Returns data at a specific model index.

Return data for a given role at a given index.

You should check the role to decide what data to return. Usually a View class will ask for data for several roles which affect not only the contents (Wt::ItemDataRole::Display) but also icons (Wt::ItemDataRole::Decoration), URLs (Wt::ItemDataRole::Link), and other visual aspects. If your item does not specify data for a particular role, it should simply return a Wt::cpp17::any().

flags(), headerData(), setData()

Implemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WStringListModel, and Wt::WAbstractProxyModel.

cpp17::any Wt::WAbstractItemModel::data ( int  row,
int  column,
ItemDataRole  role = ItemDataRole::Display,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
) const

Returns the data item at the given column and row.

This is a convenience method, and is equivalent to:

index(row, column, parent).data(role)
See also
index(), data()
virtual Signal<WModelIndex, WModelIndex>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::dataChanged ( )
virtual

Signal emitted when some data was changed.

The two arguments are the model indexes of the top-left and bottom-right data items that span the rectangle of changed data items.

See also
setData()
void Wt::WAbstractItemModel::dropEvent ( const WDropEvent e,
DropAction  action,
int  row,
int  column,
const WModelIndex parent 
)
virtual

Handles a drop event.

The default implementation only handles generic drag&drop between abstract item models. Source item data is copied (but not the source item's flags).

The location in the model is indicated by the row and column within the parent index. If row is -1, then the item is appended to the parent. Otherwise, the item is inserted at or copied over the indicated item (and subsequent rows). When action is a DropAction::Move, the original items are deleted from the source model.

You may want to reimplement this method if you want to handle other mime-type data, or if you want to refine how the drop event of an item selection must be interpreted.

Note
Currently, only row selections are handled by the default implementation.

bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::insertColumn ( int  column,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)

Inserts one column.

This is a convenience method that adds a single column, and is equivalent to:

insertColumns(column, 1, parent);

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
insertColumns()
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::insertColumns ( int  column,
int  count,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)
virtual

Inserts one or more columns.

In models that support column insertion, this inserts count columns, starting at column, and returns true if the operation was successful. The new columns are inserted under parent.

The default implementation returns false.

The model implementation must call beginInsertColumns() and endInsertColumns() before and after the operation whenever its geometry is changed by inserting columns. This emits signals for views to properly react to these changes.

See also
insertRows(), removeColumns(), beginInsertColumns(), endInsertColumns()

Reimplemented in Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WAbstractProxyModel, Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel, and Wt::WIdentityProxyModel.

bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::insertRow ( int  row,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)

Inserts one row.

This is a convenience method that adds a single row, and is equivalent to:

insertRows(row, 1, parent);

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
insertRows()
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::insertRows ( int  row,
int  count,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)
virtual

Inserts one or more rows.

In models that support row insertion, this inserts count rows, starting at row, and returns true if the operation was successful. The new rows are inserted under parent.

If parent had no children, then a single column is added with count rows.

The default implementation returns false.

The model implementation must call beginInsertRows() and endInsertRows() before and after the operation whenever its geometry is changed by inserting rows. This emits signals for views to properly react to these changes.

See also
insertColumns(), removeRows(), beginInsertRows(), endInsertRows()

Reimplemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WIdentityProxyModel, and Wt::WStringListModel.

WAbstractItemModel::DataMap Wt::WAbstractItemModel::itemData ( const WModelIndex index) const
virtual

Returns all data at a specific index.

This is a convenience function that returns a map with data corresponding to all standard roles.

See also
data()
virtual Signal& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::layoutAboutToBeChanged ( )
virtual

Signal emitted when the layout is about to be changed.

A layout change may reorder or add/remove rows in the model, but columns are preserved. Model indexes are invalidated by a layout change, but indexes may be ported across a layout change by using the toRawIndex() and fromRawIndex() methods.

See also
layoutChanged(), toRawIndex(), fromRawIndex()
virtual Signal& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::layoutChanged ( )
virtual

Signal emitted when the layout is changed.

See also
layoutAboutToBeChanged()
WModelIndexList Wt::WAbstractItemModel::match ( const WModelIndex start,
ItemDataRole  role,
const cpp17::any &  value,
int  hits = -1,
WFlags< MatchFlag flags = WFlags<MatchFlag>(MatchFlag::StartsWith     | MatchFlag::Wrap) 
) const
virtual

Returns an index list for data items that match.

Returns an index list of data items that match, starting at start, and searching further in that column. If flags specifies MatchFlag::Wrap then the search wraps around from the start. If hits is not -1, then at most that number of hits are returned.

std::string Wt::WAbstractItemModel::mimeType ( ) const
virtual

Returns a mime-type for dragging a set of indexes.

This method returns a mime-type that describes dragging of a selection of items.

The drop event will indicate a selection model for this abstract item model as source.

See also
acceptDropMimeTypes()

Reimplemented in Wt::WAbstractProxyModel.

virtual Signal& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::modelReset ( )
virtual

Signal emitted when the model was reset.

A model reset invalidates all existing data, and the model may change its entire geometry (column count, row count).

See also
reset()
virtual WModelIndex Wt::WAbstractItemModel::parent ( const WModelIndex index) const
pure virtual

Returns the parent for a model index.

An implementation should use createIndex() to create a model index that corresponds to the parent of a given index.

Note that the index itself may be stale (referencing a row/column within the parent that is outside the model geometry), but its parent (identified by the WModelIndex::internalPointer()) is referencing an existing parent. A stale index can only be used while the model geometry is being updated, i.e. during the emission of the corresponding [rows/columns](Being)[Removed/Inserted]() signals.

index()

Implemented in Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WAggregateProxyModel, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel, Wt::WIdentityProxyModel, Wt::WAbstractListModel, and Wt::WAbstractTableModel.

bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::removeRow ( int  row,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)

Removes one row.

This is a convenience method that removes a single row, and is equivalent to:

removeRows(row, 1, parent);

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
removeRows()
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::removeRows ( int  row,
int  count,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)
virtual

Removes rows.

Returns true if the operation was successful.

The default implementation returns false.

The model implementation must call beginRemoveRows() and endRemoveRows() before and after the operation whenever its geometry is changed by removing rows. This emits signals for views to properly react to these changes.

removeColumns(), insertRows(), beginRemoveRows(), endRemoveRows()

Reimplemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WIdentityProxyModel, and Wt::WStringListModel.

void Wt::WAbstractItemModel::reset ( )
protected

Resets the model and invalidate any data.

Informs any attached view that all data in the model was invalidated, and the model's data should be reread.

This causes the modelReset() signal to be emitted.

virtual int Wt::WAbstractItemModel::rowCount ( const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex()) const
pure virtual
virtual Signal<WModelIndex, int, int>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::rowsAboutToBeInserted ( )
virtual

Signal emitted before a number of rows will be inserted.

The first argument is the parent index. The two integer arguments are the row numbers that the first and last row will have when inserted.

See also
rowsInserted(), beginInsertRows()
virtual Signal<WModelIndex, int, int>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::rowsAboutToBeRemoved ( )
virtual

Signal emitted before a number of rows will be removed.

The first argument is the parent index. The two integer arguments are the row numbers of the first and last row that will be removed.

See also
rowsRemoved(), beginRemoveRows()
virtual Signal<WModelIndex, int, int>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::rowsInserted ( )
virtual

Signal emitted after a number of rows were inserted.

The first argument is the parent index. The two integer arguments are the row numbers of the first and last row that were inserted.

See also
rowsAboutToBeInserted(), endInsertRows()
virtual Signal<WModelIndex, int, int>& Wt::WAbstractItemModel::rowsRemoved ( )
virtual

Signal emitted after a number of rows were removed.

The first argument is the parent index. The two integer arguments are the row numbers of the first and last row that were removed.

rowsAboutToBeRemoved(), endRemoveRows()
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::setData ( const WModelIndex index,
const cpp17::any &  value,
ItemDataRole  role = ItemDataRole::Edit 
)
virtual

Sets data at the given model index.

Returns true if the operation was successful.

The default implementation returns false.

The model implementation must emit the dataChanged() signal after data was changed.

data()

Reimplemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, Wt::WAbstractProxyModel, Wt::WStringListModel, and Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel.

bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::setData ( int  row,
int  column,
const cpp17::any &  value,
ItemDataRole  role = ItemDataRole::Edit,
const WModelIndex parent = WModelIndex() 
)

Sets data at the given row and column.

This is a convience method, and is equivalent to:

setData(index(row, column, parent), value, role);

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
setData(), index()
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::setHeaderData ( int  section,
Orientation  orientation,
const cpp17::any &  value,
ItemDataRole  role = ItemDataRole::Edit 
)
virtual

Sets header data for a column or row.

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
headerData()

Reimplemented in Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WAggregateProxyModel, and Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel.

bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::setHeaderData ( int  section,
const cpp17::any &  value 
)

Sets column header data.

Returns true if the operation was successful.

See also
setHeaderData(int, Orientation, const cpp17::any&, int)
bool Wt::WAbstractItemModel::setItemData ( const WModelIndex index,
const DataMap values 
)
virtual

Sets data at the given model index.

This is a convenience function that sets data for all roles at once.

setData()

Reimplemented in Wt::WAbstractProxyModel, and Wt::WReadOnlyProxyModel.

void Wt::WAbstractItemModel::sort ( int  column,
SortOrder  order = SortOrder::Ascending 
)
virtual

Sorts the model according to a particular column.

If the model supports sorting, then it should emit the layoutAboutToBeChanged() signal, rearrange its items, and afterwards emit the layoutChanged() signal.

See also
layoutAboutToBeChanged(), layoutChanged()

Reimplemented in Wt::WStandardItemModel, Wt::Dbo::QueryModel< Result >, Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel, Wt::WAggregateProxyModel, Wt::WBatchEditProxyModel, and Wt::WStringListModel.

void * Wt::WAbstractItemModel::toRawIndex ( const WModelIndex index) const
virtual

Converts a model index to a raw pointer that remains valid while the model's layout is changed.

Use this method to temporarily save model indexes while the model's layout is changed by for example a sorting operation.

The default implementation returns 0, which indicates that the index cannot be converted to a raw pointer. If you reimplement this method, you also need to reimplemnt fromRawIndex().
