Detailed Description

Represents a dynamically implemented object.

This class is primarily intended for wrapping scripting language objects, but could be used for other purposes.

An instance of a DynamicObject can be used to store named properties, and by subclassing hasMethod() and invokeMethod(), you can give your object methods.

Member Function Documentation

clear()

void DynamicObject::clear

(

)

Removes all properties and methods from the object.

clone()

virtual Ptr DynamicObject::clone ( )

virtual

Returns a clone of this object.

The default implementation of this method just returns a new DynamicObject with a (deep) copy of all of its properties. Subclasses can override this to implement their own custom copy routines.

cloneAllProperties()

void DynamicObject::cloneAllProperties

(

)

Calls var::clone() on all the properties that this object contains.

decReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will be deleted.

References jassert.

decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting()

bool ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will not be deleted, but this method will return true, allowing the caller to take care of deletion.

References jassert.

getProperties()

NamedValueSet& DynamicObject::getProperties ( )

inlinenoexcept

Returns the NamedValueSet that holds the object's properties.

getProperty()

virtual const var& DynamicObject::getProperty ( const Identifier &  propertyName ) const

virtual

Returns a named property.

This returns var() if no such property exists.

getReferenceCount()

int ReferenceCountedObject::getReferenceCount ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the object's current reference count.

hasMethod()

virtual bool DynamicObject::hasMethod ( const Identifier &  methodName ) const

virtual

Checks whether this object has the specified method.

The default implementation of this just checks whether there's a property with this name that's actually a method, but this can be overridden for building objects with dynamic invocation.

hasProperty()

virtual bool DynamicObject::hasProperty ( const Identifier &  propertyName ) const

virtual

Returns true if the object has a property with this name.

Note that if the property is actually a method, this will return false.

incReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::incReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Increments the object's reference count.

This is done automatically by the smart pointer, but is public just in case it's needed for nefarious purposes.

invokeMethod()

virtual var DynamicObject::invokeMethod ( Identifier  methodName, const var::NativeFunctionArgs &  args  )

virtual

Invokes a named method on this object.

The default implementation looks up the named property, and if it's a method call, then it invokes it.

This method is virtual to allow more dynamic invocation to used for objects where the methods may not already be set as properies.

removeProperty()

virtual void DynamicObject::removeProperty ( const Identifier &  propertyName )

virtual

Removes a named property.

resetReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::resetReferenceCount ( )

inlineprotectednoexceptinherited

Resets the reference count to zero without deleting the object.

You should probably never need to use this!

setMethod()

void DynamicObject::setMethod	(	Identifier	methodName,
		var::NativeFunction	function
	)

Adds a method to the class.

This is basically the same as calling setProperty (methodName, (var::NativeFunction) myFunction), but helps to avoid accidentally invoking the wrong type of var constructor. It also makes the code easier to read,

setProperty()

virtual void DynamicObject::setProperty ( const Identifier &  propertyName, const var &  newValue  )

virtual

Sets a named property.

writeAsJSON()

virtual void DynamicObject::writeAsJSON ( OutputStream &  , int  indentLevel, bool  allOnOneLine  )

virtual

Writes this object to a text stream in JSON format.

This method is used by JSON::toString and JSON::writeToStream, and you should never need to call it directly, but it's virtual so that custom object types can stringify themselves appropriately.
