slint::Model Class

template <typename ModelData>
class Model;

Inherited by slint::FilterModel, slint::MapModel<SourceModelData, MappedModelData>, slint::ReverseModel, slint::SortModel, slint::VectorModel.

A Model is providing Data for Slint Models or ListView elements of the .slint language

This is typically used in a std::shared_ptr<slint::Model>. Model is an abstract class and you can derive from it to provide your own data model, or use one of the provided models such as slint::VectorModel

An implementation of the Model can provide data to slint by re-implementing the row_count and row_data functions. It is the responsibility of the Model implementation to call the Model::notify_row_changed(), Model::notify_row_added(), Model::notify_row_removed(), or Model::notify_reset() functions when the underlying data changes.

Note that the Model is not thread-safe. All Model operations need to be done in the main thread. If you need to update the model data from another thread, use the slint::invoke_from_event_loop() function to send the data to the main thread and update the model.

Public Functions

~Model (virtual)

slint::Model<ModelData>::~Model()=default

Model

slint::Model<ModelData>::Model()=default

Model

slint::Model<ModelData>::Model(const Model &)=delete

operator=

Model & slint::Model<ModelData>::operator=(const Model &)=delete

row_count (pure virtual)

size_t slint::Model<ModelData>::row_count() const =0

The amount of row in the model.

row_data (pure virtual)

std::optional<ModelData> slint::Model<ModelData>::row_data(size_t i) const =0

Returns the data for a particular row. This function should be called with row < row_count().

set_row_data (virtual)

void slint::Model<ModelData>::set_row_data(size_t, const ModelData &)

Sets the data for a particular row.

This function should only be called with row < row_count().

If the model cannot support data changes, then it is ok to do nothing. The default implementation will print a warning to stderr.

If the model can update the data, it should also call row_changed

push_row (virtual)

void slint::Model<ModelData>::push_row(const ModelData &)

Adds a new row with the given data at the end of the model.

If the model cannot support data changes, then it is ok to do nothing. The default implementation will print a warning to stderr.

If the model can update the data, it should also call notify_row_added

remove_row (virtual)

void slint::Model<ModelData>::remove_row(std::ptrdiff_t)

Removes the row at the given index from the model.

If the model cannot support data changes, then it is ok to do nothing. The default implementation will print a warning to stderr.

If the model can update the data, it should also call notify_row_removed

insert_row (virtual)

void slint::Model<ModelData>::insert_row(std::ptrdiff_t, const ModelData &)

Inserts a new row with the given data at the given index, shifting the following rows by one.

If the model cannot support data changes, then it is ok to do nothing. The default implementation will print a warning to stderr.

If the model can update the data, it should also call notify_row_added

Protected Functions

notify_row_changed

void slint::Model<ModelData>::notify_row_changed(size_t row)

Notify the views that a specific row was changed

Your model implementation should call this function after the data of a row changes.

notify_row_added

void slint::Model<ModelData>::notify_row_added(size_t index, size_t count)

Notify the views that rows were added

Your model implementation should call this function after the row were added.

notify_row_removed

void slint::Model<ModelData>::notify_row_removed(size_t index, size_t count)

Notify the views that rows were removed

Your model implementation should call this function after the row were removed.

notify_reset

void slint::Model<ModelData>::notify_reset()

Notify the views that the model has been changed and that everything needs to be reloaded

Your model implementation should call this function after the model has been changed.

row_changed

void slint::Model<ModelData>::row_changed(size_t row)

row_added

void slint::Model<ModelData>::row_added(size_t index, size_t count)

row_removed

void slint::Model<ModelData>::row_removed(size_t index, size_t count)

reset

void slint::Model<ModelData>::reset()
