Detailed Description

Represents a resource (text file, image, etc.) embedded in a CppMicroServices module.

A ModuleResource object provides information about a resource (external file) which was embedded into this module's shared library. ModuleResource objects can be obtained be calling Module::GetResource or Module::FindResources.

Example code for retreiving a resource object and reading its contents:

  // Get this module's Module object
  Module* module = GetModuleContext()->GetModule();
  ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("config.properties");
  if (resource.IsValid())
  {
    // Create a ModuleResourceStream object
    ModuleResourceStream resourceStream(resource);
    // Read the contents line by line
    std::string line;
    while (std::getline(resourceStream, line))
    {
      // Process the content
      std::cout << line << std::endl;
    }
  }
  else
  {
    // Error handling
  }

ModuleResource objects have value semantics and copies are very inexpensive.

ModuleResource::ModuleResource ( const ModuleResource & resource )

Copy constructor.

Parameters

resource The object to be copied.

ModuleResource::~ModuleResource ( )

Member Function Documentation

std::string ModuleResource::GetBaseName ( ) const

Returns the base name of the resource without the path.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string base = resource.GetBaseName(); // base = "archive"

Returns: The resource base name.

See also: GetName(), GetSuffix(), GetCompleteSuffix() and GetCompleteBaseName()

std::vector<std::string> ModuleResource::GetChildren ( ) const

Returns a list of resource names which are children of this object.

The returned names are relative to the path of this ModuleResource object and may contain file as well as directory entries.

Returns: A list of child resource names.

std::vector<ModuleResource> ModuleResource::GetChildResources ( ) const

Returns a list of resource objects which are children of this object.

The return ModuleResource objects may contain files as well as directory resources.

Returns: A list of child resource objects.

std::string ModuleResource::GetCompleteBaseName ( ) const

Returns the complete base name of the resource without the path.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string base = resource.GetCompleteBaseName(); // base = "archive.tar"

Returns: The resource's complete base name.

See also: GetName(), GetSuffix(), GetCompleteSuffix(), and GetBaseName()

std::string ModuleResource::GetCompleteSuffix ( ) const

Returns the complete suffix of the resource.

The suffix consists of all characters in the resource name after (but not including) the first '.'.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string suffix = resource.GetCompleteSuffix(); // suffix = "tar.gz"

Returns: The resource name suffix.

See also: GetName(), GetSuffix(), GetBaseName(), and GetCompleteBaseName()

time_t ModuleResource::GetLastModified ( ) const

Returns the last modified time of this resource in seconds from the epoch.

Returns: Last modified time of this resource.

std::string ModuleResource::GetName ( ) const

Returns the name of the resource, excluding the path.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string name = resource.GetName(); // name = "archive.tar.gz"

Returns: The resource name.

See also: GetPath(), GetResourcePath()

std::string ModuleResource::GetPath ( ) const

Returns the resource's path, without the file name.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string path = resource.GetPath(); // path = "/data/"

The path with always begin and end with a forward slash.

Returns: The resource path without the name.

See also: GetResourcePath(), GetName() and IsDir()

std::string ModuleResource::GetResourcePath ( ) const

Returns the resource path including the file name.

Returns: The resource path including the file name.

See also: GetPath(), GetName() and IsDir()

int ModuleResource::GetSize ( ) const

Returns the size of the resource data for this ModuleResource object.

Returns: The resource data size.

std::string ModuleResource::GetSuffix ( ) const

Returns the suffix of the resource.

The suffix consists of all characters in the resource name after (but not including) the last '.'.

Example:

ModuleResource resource = module->GetResource("/data/archive.tar.gz");

std::string suffix = resource.GetSuffix(); // suffix = "gz"

Returns: The resource name suffix.

See also: GetName(), GetCompleteSuffix(), GetBaseName() and GetCompleteBaseName()

bool ModuleResource::IsDir ( ) const

Returns true if this ModuleResource object points to a directory and thus may have child resources.

Returns: true if this object points to a directory, false otherwise.

bool ModuleResource::IsFile ( ) const

Returns true if this ModuleResource object points to a file resource.

Returns: true if this object points to an embedded file, false otherwise.

bool ModuleResource::IsValid ( ) const

Tests this ModuleResource object for validity.

Invalid ModuleResource objects are created by the default constructor or can be returned by the Module class if the resource path is not found.

Returns: true if this ModuleReource object is valid and can safely be used, false otherwise.

ModuleResource::operator bool_type ( ) const

Boolean conversion operator using IsValid().

bool ModuleResource::operator!= ( const ModuleResource & resource ) const

Inequality operator for ModuleResource objects.

Parameters

resource The object for testing inequality.

Returns: The result of !(*this == resource).

bool ModuleResource::operator< ( const ModuleResource & resource ) const

A less then operator using the full resource path as returned by GetResourcePath() to define the ordering.

Parameters

resource The object to which this ModuleResource object is compared to.

Returns: true if this ModuleResource object is less then resource, false otherwise.

ModuleResource& ModuleResource::operator= ( const ModuleResource & resource )

Assignment operator.

Parameters

resource The ModuleResource object which is assigned to this instance.

Returns: A reference to this ModuleResource instance.

bool ModuleResource::operator== ( const ModuleResource & resource ) const

Equality operator for ModuleResource objects.

Parameters

resource The object for testing equality.

Returns: true if this ModuleResource object is equal to resource, i.e. they are coming from the same module (shared or static) and have an equal resource path, false otherwise.
