2022-09-04Streamline event typesAlexey Rusakov
This commit introduces a few things to further reduce the boilerplate across event type definitions: - Event type is no more separately stored in Event and therefore no more passed to base event constructors. Until the previous commit, it was used by is() to quickly match the event type; with the new event metatype class, the same is achieved even quicker by comparing metatype pointers. - EventTemplate is a generalisation of StateEvent for all event types providing common constructor signatures and content() for (most) leaf event types. StateEvent therefore has become a partial specialisation of EventTemplate for types derived from StateEventBase; as the known client code base does not use it directly, a compatibility alias is not provided. Also, DEFINE_SIMPLE_EVENT now expands into a class deriving from EventTemplate. - On top of StateEvent->EventTemplate specialisation, KeyedStateEventBase and KeylessStateEventBase types are introduced with appropriate constructor signatures (with or without state_key, respectively) to allow `using` of them from derived event types. To facilitate writing of constraints, concepts for keyed and keyless state event types are also introduced; RoomStateView, e.g., makes use of those to provide appropriate method signatures. - typeId(), unknownEventTypeId(), UnknownEventTypeId are no more provided - they weren't used throughout the known code base (Quaternion, NeoChat), and the concept of "unknown event types" is hereby eliminated entirely. - RoomKeyEvent no more accepts senderId as a parameter; it has never been a good practice as the sender is assigned by Connection anyway.
2022-07-11Add QUOTIENT_API to RoomStateViewAlexey Rusakov
Fixing link errors at non-template RoomStateView::get() when building with libQuotient as a shared object. There's also a test in quotest.cpp now to cover that case.
2022-01-23RoomStateViewAlexey Rusakov
This class is called to provide an arbitrary snapshot of a room state; as the first step, Room::currentState() returns an instance of this class that stores, well, the current state. Implelementation-wise it's the same hash map of two-part state event keys to const event pointers; however, RoomStateView provides additional operations: - get(), that deprecates Room::getCurrentState(), returns a pointer to a particular event if the current state has it. Unlike the original method, the pointer returned from this one can be nullptr; this is done to get rid of stubbed state events that have to be created everytime a "state miss" occurred (i.e., when getCurrentState() does not find an existing event in the current state). - eventsOfType() - this is a new place for Room::stateEventsOfType() introduced recently. - query() - this is a way to specify a piece of the state content that you need to retrieve by passing a member function or a function object that retrieves it. That is especially convenient with member functions of the event class; just pass the pointer to this member function, and query() will parse the event type it has to retrieve out of it and call that member function on the event object. Returns an Omittable<>; if the respective piece of state doesn't exist, you'll get `Quotient::none` (the same as `std::nullopt`). - queryOr() - the same but with the fallback value; instead of an Omittable<>, the fallback value will be returned if the needed event is not found.
