[docs] class BaseConfigurableClass(object): """ A base class defining the API for configurable objects. .. note:: One implicit requisite is that a configurable object must also provide a `meth:`objectName` method which returns the object name. This is typically fulfilled by inheriting from QObject. Using objects that inherit from :class:`BaseConfigurableClass` automates saving and restoring of application settings and also enables the use of perspectives in Taurus GUIs. The basic idea is that each object/widget in your application is responsible for providing a dictionary containing information on its properties (see :meth:`createConfig`). The same object/widget is also responsible for restoring such properties when provided with a configuration dictionary (see :meth:`applyConfig`). For a certain property to be saved/restored it is usually enough to *register* it using :meth:`registerConfigProperty`. When the objects are structured in a hierarchical way (e.g. as the widgets in a Qt application), the parent widget can (should) delegate the save/restore of its children to the children themselves. This delegation is done by registering the children using :meth:`registerConfigDelegate`. Consider the following example: I am creating a groupbox container which contains a :class:`TaurusForm` and I want to save/restore the state of the checkbox and the properties of the form:: # The class looks like this: class MyBox(Qt.QGroupBox, BaseConfigurableClass): def __init__(self): ... self.form = TaurusForm() ... self.registerConfigProperty( self.isChecked, self.setChecked, 'checked' ) # the TaurusForm already handles its own configuration! self.registerConfigDelegate(self.form) ... # and we can retrieve the configuration doing: b1 = MyBox() # checked is a registered property of MyBox class b1.setChecked(True) # modifiableByUser is a registered property of a TaurusForm b1.form.setModifiableByUser(True) # we get the configuration as a dictionary cfg = b1.createConfig() ... b2 = MyBox() # now b2 has the same configuration as b1 when cfg was created b2.applyConfig(cfg) :meth:`createConfig` and :meth:`applyConfig` methods use a dictionary for passing the configuration, but :class:`BaseConfigurableClass` also provides some other convenience methods for working with files (:meth:`saveConfigFile` and :meth:`loadConfigFile`) or as QByteArrays (:meth:`createQConfig` and :meth:`applyQConfig`) Finally, we recommend to use :class:`TaurusMainWindow` for all Taurus GUIs since it automates all the steps for *saving properties when closing* and *restoring the settings on startup*. It also provides a mechanism for implementing "perspectives" in your application.
