AssetRepositoryInterface Class Reference

#include <assets.h>

Inheritance diagram for AssetRepositoryInterface:

Detailed Description

An AssetRepositoryInterface manages a set of assets:

  • Assets can be looked up using their identifier and version.
  • New assets or new asset versions can be stored.
  • Each asset can have associated meta data which can be read and written.
  • Observers for changes to the repository can be added.

An asset repository can have several base repositories which are used for the lookup after lookup in the repository itself has finished. Cycles aren't allowed, so asset repositories form a directed acyclic graph.

A repository which has another repository as (direct or indirect) base is said to be /derived/ from that repository. Whenever an observable of a repository is triggered, this is done for all derived repositories too.

The methods of AssetRepositoryInterface are thread-safe. This allows for concurrent modifications and queries.

◆ FindAssets() [1/3]

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<Bool> FindAssets ( const Id type,
const Id aid,
const Id version,
ASSET_FIND_MODE  findMode,
const ValueReceiver< const AssetDescription & > &  receiver 
) const

Finds all assets matching the parameters:

  • If aid is set, only assets with that identifier are found (or which have the aid as prefix when ASSET_FIND_MODE::PREFIX is set), otherwise all assets.
  • If version is set, only assets with that version are found, otherwise
  • If ASSET_FIND_MODE::WITHOUT_BASES is set in findMode, then base repositories aren't taken into account. Otherwise they are considered after this repository.
  • If ASSET_FIND_MODE::WITH_DELETED is set in findMode, then also deleted assets are reported.

When version is given or ASSET_FIND_MODE::LATEST is used and a matching asset is found in a repository, assets in base repositories thereof aren't reported even if they are newer. So then an asset in a repository hides assets with the same identifier in base repositories. Assets with another identifier are still reported.

Parameters
[in]typeThe allowed asset type.
[in]aidThe asset identifier to lookup, use an empty identifier to find all assets.
[in]versionThe version identifier to find, use an empty identifier to find all versions.
[in]findModeFlags for the lookup.

When version is given or ASSET_FIND_MODE::LATEST is used and a matching asset is found in a repository, assets in base repositories thereof aren't reported even if they are newer.

) const

Being newer isn't based on the time stamp, but on the order in which assets are stored. It also takes into account the update counter (AssetInterface::GetUpdate) when both assets have the same version identifier.

If both assets have different asset identifiers the method returns COMPARERESULT::INCOMPARABLE. If the assets don't belong to this repository, the result is unspecified.

Parameters
[in]firstThe first asset.

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset identifier to use.
[in,out]assetThe asset object to store. This method sets identifier, version and repository of #asset.
[in]metaDataInitial meta data to use for the asset.
Returns
The AssetDescription for the added asset.

ASSET &  asset,
const AssetMetaData &  metaData = GetZeroRef< AssetMetaData >() 
)

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset identifier to use.
[in,out]assetThe asset object to store. This method sets identifier, version and repository of #asset.
[in]metaDataInitial meta data to use for the asset.
Returns
The AssetDescription for the added asset.

Asset asset,
const AssetMetaData &  metaData = GetZeroRef< AssetMetaData >() 
)

Stores asset as a new version using the identifier #aid. Identifier, version and repository are set correspondingly at #asset, so #asset may point to a copy of the original object afterwards (Asset is a copy-on-write reference).

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset identifier to use.
[in,out]assetThe asset object to store. This method sets identifier, version and repository of #asset.
[in]metaDataInitial meta data to use for the asset.
Returns
The AssetDescription for the added asset.

MAXON_FUNCTION Result<AssetDescription> OverwriteAsset ( const Id aid,
ASSET &  asset,
const AssetMetaData &  metaData = GetZeroRef< AssetMetaData >() 
)

Stores asset as a new version using the identifier #aid. Identifier, version and repository are set correspondingly at #asset, so #asset may point to a copy of the original object afterwards (Asset is a copy-on-write reference).

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset identifier to use.
[in,out]assetThe asset object to store. This method sets identifier, version and repository of #asset.
[in]metaDataInitial meta data to use for the asset.
Returns
The AssetDescription for the added asset.

◆ DeleteAsset()

MAXON_METHOD Result<AssetDescription> DeleteAsset ( const Id aid)

Deletes the asset given by the identifier #aid. The previous versions still exist in the repository, this method just stores a delete marker so that FindAssets doesn't take those versions into account unless the ASSET_FIND_MODE::WITH_DELETED flag is given. For a complete removal of a specific version use EraseAsset.

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset to delete.
Returns
The AssetDescription which represents the delete marker.

◆ EraseAsset()

MAXON_METHOD Result<void> EraseAsset ( const AssetDescription &  asset)

Permanently erases an asset version. Unlike DeleteAsset which marks an asset as deleted but keeps all previous versions this method completely removes any data of the given asset version.

Observers of ObservableAssetErased of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]assetThe asset version to erase from this repository.

◆ CopyAsset()

MAXON_METHOD Result<AssetDescription> CopyAsset ( const Id aid,
const AssetDescription &  source,
Bool  addEncryption = false,
Bool  overwrite = false

Observers of ObservableAssetStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]aidThe asset identifier to use.
[in]sourceThe source asset to copy.
[in]addEncryptionTrue if the copy shall be stored in an encrypted way. The encryption has to be handled by the AssetType.

const InternedId metaId,
const Url source,
AssetMetaDataInterface::KIND  kind 
)

Copies the file or directory source as meta data for the meta data attribute #metaId of the given #asset. The value of the meta data attribute will be a Url which points to the local copy within the asset (i.e., not to source) of the form {meta:///assetid/metaid.kind.extension}, so the file name extension of source gets preserved. Observers of ObservableMetaDataStored of this repository and its derived repositories are informed.

Parameters
[in]assetThe asset for which a meta data value shall be set.
[in]metaIdThe identifier of the meta data attribute.
