Detailed Description

Defines the base interface for all server-side controllers.

This class provides a contract for handling incoming server requests. Subclasses must implement the endpoint(), canProcessRequest() and processRequest() methods. A generic data source can be associated with the controller using setDataSource(), the RestLink SQL plugin will set a QSqlDatabase instance for example.

Member Function Documentation

◆ endpoint()

QString RestLink::AbstractController::endpoint ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the base endpoint this controller is responsible for.

◆ canProcessRequest()

bool RestLink::AbstractController::canProcessRequest ( const ServerRequest & request ) const

virtual

Determines whether the controller can process the given request.

Reimplemented in RestLink::AbstractResourceController.

◆ processRequest()

void RestLink::AbstractController::processRequest	(	const ServerRequest &	request,
		ServerResponse *	response
	)

pure virtual

Processes the incoming request and writes the response.

Implemented in RestLink::AbstractResourceController.

◆ dataSource()

void * RestLink::AbstractController::dataSource ( ) const

Returns the data source associated with this controller.

◆ setDataSource()

void RestLink::AbstractController::setDataSource ( void * source )

Sets the data source for the controller.

Parameters

source A generic pointer to a data source, typically used by the controller to retrieve or manipulate data.
