Module glib::subclass [−][src]
Expand description
Module containing infrastructure for subclassing GObjects and registering boxed types.
Example for registering a glib::Object subclass
The following code implements a subclass of glib::Object with a
string-typed “name” property.
use glib::prelude::*;
use glib::subclass;
use glib::subclass::prelude::*;
use glib::{Variant, VariantType};
use std::cell::{Cell, RefCell};
#[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq, Clone, Copy, glib::GEnum)]
#[repr(u32)]
// type_name: GType name of the GEnum (mandatory)
#[genum(type_name = "SimpleObjectAnimal")]
enum Animal {
Goat = 0,
#[genum(name = "The Dog")]
Dog = 1,
// name: the name of the GEnumValue (optional), default to the enum name in CamelCase
// nick: the nick of the GEnumValue (optional), default to the enum name in kebab-case
#[genum(name = "The Cat", nick = "chat")]
Cat = 2,
}
impl Default for Animal {
fn default() -> Self {
Animal::Goat
}
}
// Note that the first `#[glib::gflags(...)]` is the proc-macro invocation,
// while the plain `#[gflags(...)]` inside the braces are just custom attributes that
// get read by the proc-macro, and they must be written exactly like that.
#[glib::gflags("MyFlags")]
enum MyFlags {
#[gflags(name = "Flag A", nick = "nick-a")]
A = 0b00000001,
#[gflags(name = "Flag B")]
B = 0b00000010,
#[gflags(skip)]
AB = Self::A.bits() | Self::B.bits(),
C = 0b00000100,
}
impl Default for MyFlags {
fn default() -> Self {
MyFlags::A
}
}
mod imp {
use super::*;
// This is the struct containing all state carried with
// the new type. Generally this has to make use of
// interior mutability.
// If it implements the `Default` trait, then `Self::default()`
// will be called every time a new instance is created.
#[derive(Default)]
pub struct SimpleObject {
name: RefCell<Option<String>>,
animal: Cell<Animal>,
flags: Cell<MyFlags>,
variant: RefCell<Option<Variant>>,
}
// ObjectSubclass is the trait that defines the new type and
// contains all information needed by the GObject type system,
// including the new type's name, parent type, etc.
// If you do not want to implement `Default`, you can provide
// a `new()` method.
#[glib::object_subclass]

// This type name must be unique per process.

type Interfaces = ();
}
// Trait that is used to override virtual methods of glib::Object.
impl ObjectImpl for SimpleObject {
// Called once in the very beginning to list all properties of this class.
fn properties() -> &'static [glib::ParamSpec] {
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

impl SimpleObject {
// Create an object instance of the new type.
pub fn new() -> Self {

obj.set_property("animal", &Animal::Cat).unwrap();
assert_eq!(obj.property("animal").unwrap().get::<Animal>(), Ok(Animal::Cat));
assert_eq!(obj.property("flags").unwrap().get::<MyFlags>(), Ok(MyFlags::A));
obj.set_property("flags", &MyFlags::B).unwrap();
assert_eq!(obj.property("flags").unwrap().get::<MyFlags>(), Ok(MyFlags::B));
}Example for registering a boxed type for a Rust struct
The following code boxed type for a tuple struct around String and uses it in combination
with glib::Value.
use glib::prelude::*;
use glib::subclass;
use glib::subclass::prelude::*;
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, glib::GBoxed)]
#[gboxed(type_name = "MyBoxed")]
struct MyBoxed(String);
pub fn main() {
assert!(MyBoxed::static_type().is_valid());
let b = MyBoxed(String::from("abc"));
let v = b.to_value();
let b2 = v.get::<&MyBoxed>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(&b, b2);
