Observer
|
|
A set of template classes to enable the easy creation of objects using the Observer pattern.
|
|
|
|
The observer pattern is a software design pattern in which an object maintains a list of observers, and notifies of any changes. It is often used to implement event handling systems. See the tutorial.
|
|
|
|
There are two templated classes:-
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
observer
|
|
Derive observers from this class.
|
|
|
|
C++03
|
|
Up to eight different notification messages may be defined.
|
|
|
|
template <typename T1, typename T2 = void, typename T3 = void, typename T4 = void,
|
|
typename T5 = void, typename T6 = void, typename T7 = void, typename T8 = void>
|
|
class observer
|
|
|
|
C++11 and above
|
|
Any number of notification messages may be defined.
|
|
|
|
template <typename... Types>
|
|
class observer
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
observer defines a pure virtual notification member function for each defined type, taking the type as a parameter.
|
|
The parameter type may be void (20.39.0).
|
|
Derived classes are forced to implement these functions.
|
|
|
|
Example:-
|
|
|
|
// An observer type that handles int (by value), std::string (by reference)
|
|
// and std::complex (by const reference).
|
|
typedef etl::observer<int, std::string&, const std::complex&> observer_type;
|
|
|
|
class my_observer : public observer_type
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
void notification(int i);
|
|
void notification(std::string& s);
|
|
void notification(const std::complex);
|
|
};
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
observable
|
|
This class is observable from a class derived from observer.
|
|
Derive observable classes from this.
|
|
|
|
template <typename TObserver, const size_t MAX_OBSERVERS>
|
|
class observable
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
void add_observer(TObserver& observer)
|
|
Adds an observer to the list. If the maximum number of observers have already been added then an etl::observer_list_full is emitted.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
void remove_observer(TObserver& observer)
|
|
Remove an observer from the list. If the observer is not in the list then there is no change.
|
|
Do not call this from within a notification override.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
void enable_observer(TObserver& observer, bool state = true)
|
|
Enables / disables an observer according to the parameter value.
|
|
The default is true.
|
|
May be called from a notification override.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
void disable_observer(TObserver& observer)
|
|
Disables an observer from being called from notify_observers.
|
|
May be called from a notification override.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
void clear_observers()
|
|
Removes all observers from the list.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
size_type number_of_observers() const
|
|
Returns the number of observers currently in the list.
|
|
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
|
|
template <typename TNotification>
|
|
void notify_observers(TNotification data)
|
|
By default, the parameter is passed by as the actual data .
|
|
To pass by reference or rvalue reference, add the type as a template parameter.
|
|
notify_observers<const MyData&>(data);
|
