Detailed Description

The QHelpFilterEngine class provides a filtered view of the help contents.

Since
5.13 \inmodule QtHelp

The filter engine allows the management of filters associated with a QHelpEngineCore instance. The help engine internally creates an instance of the filter engine, which can be accessed by calling QHelpEngineCore::filterEngine(). Therefore, the public constructor of this class is disabled.

The filters are identified by a filter name string. Filter details are described by the \l QHelpFilterData class.

The filter engine allows for adding new filters and changing the existing filters' data through the setFilterData() method. An existing filter can be removed through the removeFilter() method.

Out of the registered filters one can be marked as the active one. The active filter will be used by the associated help engine for returning filtered results of many different functions, such as content, index, or search results. If no filter is marked active, the help engine returns the full results list available.

The active filter is returned by activeFilter() and it can be changed by setActiveFilter().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QHelpFilterEngine()

QHelpFilterEngine::QHelpFilterEngine ( QHelpEngineCore * helpEngine)
explicitprotected

Constructs the filter engine for helpEngine.

◆ availableVersions()

QList< QVersionNumber > QHelpFilterEngine::availableVersions ( ) const
Since
5.15

Returns the list of all available versions defined in all registered documentation files.

Definition at line 179 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ filterActivated

void QHelpFilterEngine::filterActivated ( const QString & newFilter)

setActiveFilter()

◆ filterData()

QHelpFilterData QHelpFilterEngine::filterData ( const QString & filterName) const

Returns the filter details associated with filterName.

◆ indices() [2/2]

QStringList QHelpFilterEngine::indices ( const QString & filterName) const
Since
5.15

Returns a sorted list of available indices, filtered by filterName. The returned list contents depend on the passed filter, and therefore only the indices registered for this filter will be returned. If you want to get all available indices unfiltered, pass empty string as filterName.

Definition at line 288 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ namespacesForFilter()

QStringList QHelpFilterEngine::namespacesForFilter ( const QString & filterName) const

Returns the list of all registered documentation namespaces that match the filter identified by filterName.

◆ namespaceToComponent()

QMap< QString, QString > QHelpFilterEngine::namespaceToComponent ( ) const

Returns the map of all the available namespaces as keys together with their associated components as values.

Definition at line 134 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ namespaceToVersion()

QMap< QString, QVersionNumber > QHelpFilterEngine::namespaceToVersion ( ) const

Returns the map of all the available namespaces as keys together with their associated versions as values.

Definition at line 145 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ removeFilter()

bool QHelpFilterEngine::removeFilter ( const QString & filterName)

Removes the filter identified by filterName.

Returns true if removing the filter succeeded, otherwise returns false.

Definition at line 216 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ setActiveFilter()

bool QHelpFilterEngine::setActiveFilter ( const QString & filterName)

Changes the currently active filter to filterName.

Returns true if changing the filter succeeded, otherwise returns false.

Definition at line 239 of file qhelpfilterengine.cpp.

◆ setFilterData()

bool QHelpFilterEngine::setFilterData ( const QString & filterName,
const QHelpFilterData & filterData )

Changes the existing filter details of the filter identified by filterName to filterData.

If the filter does not exist, a new filter is created.

Returns true if setting the filter succeeded, otherwise returns false.
