DMaggot:

Lets use this wiki entry tu discuss future plans for Kig. From the discussion here, we can create a feature list for KDE 4.9 and start working on that. Some of the ideas that have been collected so far are:

* Add support for hyperbolic geometries, but this is a large topic and would take a good amount of work. Here is some work on [http://raoul.koalatux.ch/sites/hyperbolic_geometry/hyperbolic_geometry.html building an asymptote package for drawing in the Poincare disk].
* More work on Asy and Tikz/PGF exporters, fixing bugs and fill out the remaining holes.
* Improve XFig exporter, at present it does not support loci, generic conics and cubics
* More flexible grids. We do not have any export options for polar grids. Maybe make grids more like the geometric objects.
* Allow the user some control over drawing precision (specifically when drawing loci) and/or when exporting to files that do not directly support all geometric objects (e.g. XFig).
* Review edge cases in file parsing
* Review bugs in windows
* Check this [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122443 KFormula integration request], interesting
* Implement a CAS backend for coordinates in Kig, maybe [http://www.ginac.de/ GiNaC]?
* [http://www.geogebra.org Geogebra] support

DMaggot: Updating status of some ideas and adding one new idea about CAS

== Maintaining Source Compatibility == 


With KDE 4.9, '''Nepomuk''' moved out out kdelibs into its own repository. KDE libs is required to maintain source compatibility with earlier releases, and therefore we could not just remove the nepomuk components from kdelibs.


A new repository called [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/nepomuk-core nepomuk-core] was introduced which contains all the main components of nepomuk. This included vasts parts of kdelibs/nepomuk and kde-runtime/nepomuk. Another repository called [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/nepomuk-widgets nepomuk-widgets] has also been introduced for 4.10.

== Porting to Nepomuk2 == 


Nepomuk2 is predominantly just a namespace change from Nepomuk to Nepomuk2. Additionally, the deprecated components of '''Nepomuk''' have been removed. In order to make porting easier, a simple script has been provided -


<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
#!/bin/sh
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/Nepomuk::/Nepomuk2::/g'
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/#include <Nepomuk\//#include <Nepomuk2\//'
egrep -lRZ "nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/#include <nepomuk\//#include <nepomuk2\//'
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/namespace Nepomuk/namespace Nepomuk2/g'
egrep -lRZ "resourceType" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/\.resourceType/\.type/g'
egrep -lRZ "resourceUri" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/\.resourceUri/\.uri/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_INCLUDE_DIR" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/NEPOMUK_INCLUDE_DIR/NEPOMUK_CORE_INCLUDE_DIR/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_LIBRARIES" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/NEPOMUK_LIBRARIES/NEPOMUK_CORE_LIBRARY/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_QUERY_LIBRARIES" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/${NEPOMUK_QUERY_LIBRARIES}//g'
</syntaxhighlight>


This script should cover all the source code changes, and most of the cmake changes.

== CMake Changes == 


Depending on whether you require the GUI components you'll require the following includes


<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
find_package(NepomukCore)
find_package(NepomukWidgets)
</syntaxhighlight>


With NepomukCore, the following CMake variables are declared -


<syntaxhighlight lang='cmake'>
#
# NEPOMUK_CORE_LIB_DIR : The nepomuk-core library directory
# NEPOMUK_CORE_INCLUDE_DIR : The nepomuk-core include directory
# NEPOMUK_CORE_VERSION : The nepomuk-core version
# NEPOMUK_CORE_ONTOLOGY_DIR : The nepomuk-core ontologies location
# NEPOMUK_CORE_DBUS_INTERFACES_DIR : The nepomuk-core DBUS Interfaces dir
# NEPOMUK_CORE_LIBRARY : The nepomukcore library
#
</syntaxhighlight>


With NepomukWidgets, the following CMake variables are declared -


<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
#
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_LIB_DIR : The nepomuk-widgets library directory
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_INCLUDE_DIR : The nepomuk-widgets include directory
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_VERSION : The nepomuk-widgets version
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_LIBRARY : The nepomuk-widgets library

Notice that, previously, <code>find_package(Nepomuk)</code> would internally call <code>find_package(Soprano)</code>, but since <code>find_package(NepomukCore)</code> does not, you would additionally have to find Soprano explicitly to be able to use Soprano CMake macros, e.g., <code>include(SopranoAddOntology)</code>.

== Migration Notes ==
=== Thing vs Resource ===
The ''Thing'' is an abstract concept in the ontologies that certain real-world stuff is derived from. We used to have special handling for it in Nepomuk, but since we never used it in anything that was shipped, we decided to remove it, and in Nepomuk2, any previous instance of it can be replaced with a ''Resource''.

The Vocabularies stay the same, e.g. <code>Nepomuk2::Vocabulary::PIMO::Thing()</code> , so they shouldn't be removed.

== Maintaining Source Compatibility == 


With KDE 4.9, '''Nepomuk''' moved out out kdelibs into its own repository. KDE libs is required to maintain source compatibility with earlier releases, and therefore we could not just remove the nepomuk components from kdelibs.


A new repository called [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/nepomuk-core nepomuk-core] was introduced which contains all the main components of nepomuk. This included vasts parts of kdelibs/nepomuk and kde-runtime/nepomuk. Another repository called [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/nepomuk-widgets nepomuk-widgets] has also been introduced for 4.10.

== Porting to Nepomuk2 == 


Nepomuk2 is predominantly just a namespace change from Nepomuk to Nepomuk2. Additionally, the deprecated components of '''Nepomuk''' have been removed. In order to make porting easier, a simple script has been provided -


<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
#!/bin/sh
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/Nepomuk::/Nepomuk2::/g'
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/#include <Nepomuk\//#include <Nepomuk2\//'
egrep -lRZ "nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/#include <nepomuk\//#include <nepomuk2\//'
egrep -lRZ "Nepomuk" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/namespace Nepomuk/namespace Nepomuk2/g'
egrep -lRZ "resourceType" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/\.resourceType/\.type/g'
egrep -lRZ "resourceUri" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/\.resourceUri/\.uri/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_INCLUDE_DIR" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/NEPOMUK_INCLUDE_DIR/NEPOMUK_CORE_INCLUDE_DIR/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_LIBRARIES" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/NEPOMUK_LIBRARIES/NEPOMUK_CORE_LIBRARY/g'
egrep -lRZ "NEPOMUK_QUERY_LIBRARIES" . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/${NEPOMUK_QUERY_LIBRARIES}//g'
</syntaxhighlight>


This script should cover all the source code changes, and most of the cmake changes.

== CMake Changes == 


Depending on whether you require the GUI components you'll require the following includes


<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
find_package(NepomukCore)
find_package(NepomukWidgets)
</syntaxhighlight>


With NepomukCore, the following CMake variables are declared -


<syntaxhighlight lang='cmake'>
#
# NEPOMUK_CORE_LIB_DIR : The nepomuk-core library directory
# NEPOMUK_CORE_INCLUDE_DIR : The nepomuk-core include directory
# NEPOMUK_CORE_VERSION : The nepomuk-core version
# NEPOMUK_CORE_ONTOLOGY_DIR : The nepomuk-core ontologies location
# NEPOMUK_CORE_DBUS_INTERFACES_DIR : The nepomuk-core DBUS Interfaces dir
# NEPOMUK_CORE_LIBRARY : The nepomukcore library
#
</syntaxhighlight>


With NepomukWidgets, the following CMake variables are declared -


<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
#
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_LIB_DIR : The nepomuk-widgets library directory
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_INCLUDE_DIR : The nepomuk-widgets include directory
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_VERSION : The nepomuk-widgets version
# NEPOMUK_WIDGETS_LIBRARY : The nepomuk-widgets library
#
</syntaxhighlight>
== Migration Notes ==
=== Thing vs Resource ===
The ''Thing'' is an abstract concept in the ontologies that certain real-world stuff is derived from. We used to have special handling for it in Nepomuk, but since we never used it in anything that was shipped, we decided to remove it, and in Nepomuk2, any previous instance of it can be replaced with a ''Resource''.

name=Creating an Akonadi PIM data Resource|

pre=[http://mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html C++], [http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/ Qt], [[Getting_Started/Build|KDE development environment]]|

next=|

reading=[[Development/Tutorials/CMake|CMake]], [[Development/Architecture/KDE4/Akonadi|Akonadi Architecture]], [[Projects/PIM/Akonadi/Development_Tools|Akonadi Development Tools]]
}}

This tutorial will guide you through the steps of creating an Akonadi resource, an agent program which transports PIM data between the Akonadi system and a storage backend.

See the [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html#_details Resource related API documentation] for developer information not covered in this tutorial.

The resource developed in this tutorial will use a directory on the local file system as its backend and handle contact data, i.e. address book entries.

For other real-life examples of akonadi resources see projects in [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdepim-runtime/repository/revisions/master/show/resources /kdepim-runtime/resources] KDE source directory.

{{improve|Add error handling to resource code snippets}}

== Prerequisites ==

{{improve|Describe required versions and build setup}}

== Preparation ==

The KDE client library for Akonadi provides a base class, [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html Akonadi::ResourceBase], which already implements most of the low level communication between resource and Akonadi server, letting the resource developer concentrate on communication with the backend.

We can kick-start the resource by using '''KAppTemplate''', which can be found as '''KDE template generator''' in the development section of the K-menu, or by running '''kapptemplate''' in a terminal window.

First, we select the '''Akonadi Resource Template''' in the C++ section of the program, give our project a name and continue through the following pages to complete the template creation.

[[Image:KAppTemplate1.png]]

A look at the generated project directory shows us the following files:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
akonadi-resources.png
Messages.sh
settings.kcfgc
vcarddirresource.desktop
vcarddirresource.kcfg
CMakeLists.txt
README
vcarddirresource.cpp
vcarddirresource.h
</syntaxhighlight>

At this stage it is already possible to compile the resource, so we can already check if our development environment is setup correctly by creating the build directory and having CMake either generate Makefiles or a KDevelop project file.

=== Generating Makefiles ===

From within the generated source directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ..
</syntaxhighlight>
and run the build using make as usual.

Note: if after running cmake you receive error like: "Could NOT find KdepimLibs (missing: KdepimLibs_CONFIG)", try running cmake with additional parameter:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DKdepimLibs_DIR=/usr/lib64/cmake/KdepimLibs ..
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Generating a KDevelop project file ===

From within the generated source directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -G KDevelop3 ..
</syntaxhighlight>
and open the generated project with KDevelop and run the build process from there.

=== Adjusting the resource description file ===

The capabilities of the resource need to be described in both human understable and machine interpretable form.
This is achieved through a so-called desktop file, similar to those installed by applications.

Since the '''vcarddirresource.desktop''' file generated by KAppTemplate contains only example values, we need to edit it:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Akonadi VCardDir Resource
Comment=Resource for a directory containing contact data files

Type=AkonadiResource
Exec=akonadi_vcarddir_resource
Icon=text-directory

X-Akonadi-MimeTypes=text/directory
X-Akonadi-Capabilities=Resource
X-Akonadi-Identifier=akonadi_vcarddir_resource
</syntaxhighlight>

'''Name''' and '''Comment''' are strings visible to the user and can be translated. Since our resource will serve contact data, the example valued for '''Icon''' and '''X-Akonadi-MimeTypes''' fields are conveniently correct.

== Resource Configuration ==

Since the backend of our resource will be a file system directory, we need a way to let the user configure it and a way to persistantly store this configuration.

KDE has a nice framework for this called [[Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT| KConfig XT]] which enabled us developers to specify our config options as an XML file and have the code for storage and retrieval auto-generated.

The template we are basing our resource on already contains such a file, '''vcarddirresource.kcfg''', and we only have to add a new option for our base directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kcfg xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
xmlns:kcfg="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0
http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd" >
<group name="General">
<entry name="Path" type="Path">
<label>Path to a folder containing vCard files.</label>
<default></default>
</entry>
<entry name="ReadOnly" type="Bool">
<label>Do not change the actual backend data.</label>
<default>false</default>
</entry>
</group>
</kcfg>
</syntaxhighlight>

To enable the user to change this properties, we need to create and show a config dialog. Since we are using KConfig XT this is pretty easy, but for the scope of this tutorial we make our lives even easier and just use a {{class|KFileDialog}}

{{warning|This simplification has the side effect that the passed window ID cannot be used as it should. See FAQ section at the end of the tutorial.}}

First we need to add two new include directives at the beginning of our source file '''vcarddirresource.cpp''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <kfiledialog.h>
#include <klocalizedstring.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

To show the dialog on the user's request, we need to modify the resource method <tt>configure</tt> which currently has an empty implementation.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::configure( WId windowId )
{
Q_UNUSED( windowId );

const QString oldPath = Settings::self()->path();
KUrl url;
if ( !oldPath.isEmpty() )
url = KUrl::fromPath( oldPath );
else
url = KUrl::fromPath( QDir::homePath() );

const QString title = i18nc( "@title:window", "Select vCard folder" );
const QString newPath = KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory( url, 0, title );

if ( newPath.isEmpty() )
return;

if ( oldPath == newPath )
return;

Settings::self()->setPath( newPath );

Settings::self()->writeConfig();

synchronize();
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The call to <tt>synchronize</tt> at the end tells Akonadi to start retrieving the new data from our resource.

{{tip|Since there can be more than one resource of a certain type, it is recommended to change the resource name to something that makes them distiguishable. In the case of this example resource it could be the name of the base directory or part of its path}}

== Data Retrieval ==

In this section of the tutorial we will implement the data retrieval methods of our resource, i.e. the method which Akonadi will call to get the contact data our resource is providing.

=== Retrieving Collections ===

The first thing Akonadi will ask for are our collections. Resources can organize their data in a tree of collections, similar to how files are organized in a tree of directories on the file system.

For now we only want to support one directory so we only need one collection.
{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Extend this to map a tree of vCard directories into Akonadi.}}

Retrieval of collections is handled in <tt>retrieveCollections</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::retrieveCollections()
{
Collection c;
c.setParent( Collection::root() );
c.setRemoteId( Settings::self()->path() );
c.setName( name() );

QStringList mimeTypes;
mimeTypes << QLatin1String("text/directory");
c.setContentMimeTypes( mimeTypes );

Collection::List list;
list << c;
collectionsRetrieved( list );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The code creates a top level collection, i.e. its parent collection is Akonadi's root collection, sets the configured path as its remote identifier (so we could eventually map it back to our "backend" location) and uses our resource name as the user visible collection name.

Since our resource will be providing contact data, we need to set the respective MIME type to indicate which kind of data our collection will hold.

Finally the fully set up collection is sent to Akonadi.

{{tip|You can customize visualization properties of the collection, e.g. icon, by using the [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1EntityDisplayAttribute.html EntityDisplayAttribute] class}}

=== Retrieving Items ===

Retrieving items for a specific collection is similar to listing the files of a specific directory.
Conveniently our backend is a directory, so we can map this directly.

There are several methods to implement item retrieval, e.g. synchronous or asynchronous, all items in one go or in patches, etc.
For the scope of the tutorial we choose the easiest combination, i.e. synchronously provide all items in one go.
{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Use {{class|KDirLister}} to do this asynchronously and in patches.}}

First we need another include directive:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <QtCore/QDir>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then we implement <tt>retrieveItems</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::retrieveItems( const Akonadi::Collection &collection )
{
// our collections have the mapped path as their remote identifier
const QString path = collection.remoteId();

QDir dir( path );

QStringList filters;
filters << QLatin1String( "*.vcf" );
const QStringList fileList = dir.entryList( filters, QDir::Files );

Item::List items;
foreach( const QString &file, fileList ) {
Item item( QLatin1String( "text/directory" ) );
item.setRemoteId( path + QLatin1Char( '/' ) + file );

items << item;
}

itemsRetrieved( items );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Our earlier decision to use the directory's path as the collection's remote identifier conveniently allows us to retrieve the path from the given collection.

We then list all vCard files in that directory and create one Akonadi item for each one, this time using the path plus the file's name as the remote identifier.

{{note|This rather primitive implementation assumes that all files with the extension <tt>vcf</tt> are indeed vCard files and contain only one vCard each.}}

Finally the whole list of items is sent to Akonadi.

=== Retrieving Item Data ===

Continuing our file system analogy, retrieving a specific item's data is similar to reading a specific file's data or its associated meta data.
So we have again the convenience of a direct mapping between Akonadi and backend functionality.

Since our backend items are vCard files, we need to parse them into data structures which we can then use as item payloads.

KDE's class for holding contact data is [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kabc/html/classKABC_1_1Addressee.html KABC::Addressee] and we can use [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kabc/html/classKABC_1_1VCardConverter.html KABC::VCardConverter] for file parsing.

First we need another set of includes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <kabc/addressee.h>
#include <kabc/vcardconverter.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then we implement the <tt>retrieveItem</tt> method:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
bool VCardDirResource::retrieveItem( const Akonadi::Item &item, const QSet<QByteArray> &parts )
{
Q_UNUSED( parts );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

QFile file( fileName );
if ( !file.open( QFile::ReadOnly ) )
return false;

const QByteArray data = file.readAll();
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return false;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
KABC::Addressee addressee = converter.parseVCard( data );
if ( addressee.isEmpty() )
return false;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

itemRetrieved( newItem );
return true;
}
</syntaxhighlight>

And additionally we need to edit '''CMakeLists.txt''' to make it link the library for the <tt>KABC</tt> classes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
target_link_libraries(akonadi_vcarddir_resource ${KDE4_AKONADI_LIBS} ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTDBUS_LIBRARY} ${KDE4_KDECORE_LIBS} ${KDE4_KABC_LIBS})
</syntaxhighlight>

Again aided by our decision what to use as the item's remote identifier, we can directly use it to open the respective vCard file.
After parsing the data we create a new item object, use the given item to initialize it, set the contact data object as its payload and send it to Akonadi.

{{note|Since we need the full vCard data for parsing, we ignore the <tt>parts</tt> parameter and always retrieve the full payload.}}

== Item Changes ==

All Akonadi clients, e.g. end user applications, agents, etc., can at any time add items to collections, change item data and remove items from collections. If such a change happens in the collection tree of a resource, the resource should properly make the respective change on its backend.

By default, resources are only notified about which items have been changed and which of the parts have been modified.
To automatically the get the updated payload we only have to enable this operation mode on the resource's change recorder.

To do that we need another two include directives

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <akonadi/itemfetchscope.h>
#include <akonadi/changerecorder.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

and an additional line in the resource's constructor

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
changeRecorder()->itemFetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
</syntaxhighlight>

This tells the base implementation that each item change should be fetched with full payload before delivering it to the methods covered in the following subsections.

{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Add handling for collection changes, e.g. create subdirectories when child collections have been created.}}

=== Adding Items ===

In order to handle items being added to one of our collections, we need to implement the method <tt>itemAdded</tt>.

First we need another include directive for a helper class:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <krandom.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

Now we can implement <tt>itemAdded</tt> like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemAdded( const Akonadi::Item &item, const Akonadi::Collection &collection )
{
const QString path = collection.remoteId();

KABC::Addressee addressee;
if ( item.hasPayload<KABC::Addressee>() )
addressee = item.payload<KABC::Addressee>();

if ( addressee.uid().isEmpty() )
addressee.setUid( KRandom::randomString( 10 ) );

QFile file( path + QLatin1Char( '/' ) + addressee.uid() + QLatin1String( ".vcf" ) );

if ( !file.open( QFile::WriteOnly ) )
return;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
file.write( converter.createVCard( addressee ) );
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setRemoteId( file.fileName() );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

changeCommitted( newItem );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

As usual we get the path of the directory a specific collection maps to from the collection's remote identifier.

Then we check if the newly added item is already equiped with a payload, in our case a KABC::Addressee object.
In either case we ensure that the object has an unique identifier by which we then use as the base name for the vCard file.

Finally we let Akonadi know that we have processed the item change and which remote identifier our backend has assigned to it.

=== Modifying Items ===

In our case handling item modifications is almost the same as handling item adding, however more sophisticated resource will most likely do different things depending on the <tt>parts</tt> parameter.

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemChanged( const Akonadi::Item &item, const QSet<QByteArray> &parts )
{
Q_UNUSED( parts );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

KABC::Addressee addressee;
if ( item.hasPayload<KABC::Addressee>() )
addressee = item.payload<KABC::Addressee>();

if ( addressee.uid().isEmpty() )
addressee.setUid( KRandom::randomString( 10 ) );

QFile file( fileName );

if ( !file.open( QFile::WriteOnly ) )
return;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
file.write( converter.createVCard( addressee ) );
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

changeCommitted( newItem );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Removing Items ===

Since we have a one-to-one mapping of items to files, an item removal is as simple as removing the respective file:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemRemoved( const Akonadi::Item &item )
{
Q_UNUSED( item );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

QFile::remove( fileName );

changeCommitted( item );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Backend Changes ==

Of course changes to collections and items might also happen on the backend and in cases where the backend can send out change notifications, the resource can map these changes directly into its collection tree.

The APIs for that are exactly the same which any other client would use, i.e. Akonadi's job classes.

{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Use {{class|KDirWatch}} to get notified about file and directory changes and modify the Akonadi storage accordingly.}}

== Testing ==

The [[Projects/PIM/Akonadi/Testing|Akonadi Test Framework]] allows to create self-contained test environments so developers do not risk impacting their normal Akonadi setup.

To install new resource to system run (might need root):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
make install
</syntaxhighlight>

or copy built files manually to the following locations:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$KDEDIRS/bin/akonadi_vcarddir_resource
$KDEDIRS/share/akonadi/agents/vcarddirresource.desktop
</syntaxhighlight>

where $KDEDIRS points to your KDE installation prefix.

Then run Akonadi Configuration (search by this keyword in kickoff launcher) and click "Add..." button to add new resource - new resource should be there; or in KAddressBook add new address book - new resource should be available as address book type (restarting akonadi server might help if it does not get into this list immediately).

{{improve|Create tutorial about using the test suite.}}

== Frequently Asked Questions and Tips ==

=== Base Class Methods ===

==== When is configure() called ====

[http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1AgentBase.html#88a08911cd0a69934207ef1a154a23ba ResourceBase::configure()] is called under two circumstances.
* as part of the resource's creation process: when the Akonadi control process creates a resource, it will also call the resource's '''configure()''' method through D-Bus once the resource has registered itself.

* when another program explicitly requests it: since '''configure()''' is exposed as a D-Bus method, any other program can call it to request a resource's reconfiguration. End user applications might offer this functionality to allow the user to change resource specific settings.

==== What is the purpose of the window ID parameter of configure()? ====

The resource is a program on its own, i.e. it is not the same process as the end user application working with the data provided by the resource.

In an in-process scenario any configuration UI can specify one of the application's top level widgets as its parent, thus associating the configuration UI with that window.

Window managing systems such as KDE's KWin use this information to keep new windows from interrupting the user unless they are very likely a consequence of a user's action.

To make such an association across process boundaries, the calling application can send a platforms specific window identifier over to the resource which in tunr can then use it to specify it as a "parent" for its configuration UI like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
ConfigDialog dialog;
KWindowSystem::setMainWindow( &dialog, windowId );
</syntaxhighlight>

See {{class|KWindowSystem}}

==== Is retrieveItem() called in the order retrieveItems() passes the items? ====

The purpose of [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html#38d7c3713ed54dedf885d437de1ca11d ResourceBase::retrieveItem()] is to deliver additional item data, i.e. data not yet available in the Akonadi cache.

This can happen due to several different reasons, only one of them is '''retrieveItems()''' delivering just basic items.

An implementation should therefore '''always''' treat an invocation of this method as a single incidence unrelated to anything else.

}}

This tutorial will guide you through the steps of creating an Akonadi resource, an agent program which transports PIM data between the Akonadi system and a storage backend.

See the [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html#_details Resource related API documentation] for developer information not covered in this tutorial.

The resource developed in this tutorial will use a directory on the local file system as its backend and handle contact data, i.e. address book entries.

For other real-life examples of akonadi resources see projects in [https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdepim-runtime/repository/revisions/master/show/resources /kdepim-runtime/resources] KDE source directory.

{{improve|Add error handling to resource code snippets}}

== Prerequisites ==

{{improve|Describe required versions and build setup}}

== Preparation ==

The KDE client library for Akonadi provides a base class, [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html Akonadi::ResourceBase], which already implements most of the low level communication between resource and Akonadi server, letting the resource developer concentrate on communication with the backend.

We can kick-start the resource by using '''KAppTemplate''', which can be found as '''KDE template generator''' in the development section of the K-menu, or by running '''kapptemplate''' in a terminal window.

First, we select the '''Akonadi Resource Template''' in the C++ section of the program, give our project a name and continue through the following pages to complete the template creation.

[[Image:KAppTemplate1.png]]

A look at the generated project directory shows us the following files:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
akonadi-resources.png
Messages.sh
settings.kcfgc
vcarddirresource.desktop
vcarddirresource.kcfg
CMakeLists.txt
README
vcarddirresource.cpp
vcarddirresource.h
</syntaxhighlight>

At this stage it is already possible to compile the resource, so we can already check if our development environment is setup correctly by creating the build directory and having CMake either generate Makefiles or a KDevelop project file.

=== Generating Makefiles ===

From within the generated source directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ..
</syntaxhighlight>
and run the build using make as usual.

Note: if after running cmake you receive error like: "Could NOT find KdepimLibs (missing: KdepimLibs_CONFIG)", try running cmake with additional parameter:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DKdepimLibs_DIR=/usr/lib64/cmake/KdepimLibs ..
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Generating a KDevelop project file ===

From within the generated source directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -G KDevelop3 ..
</syntaxhighlight>
and open the generated project with KDevelop and run the build process from there.

=== Adjusting the resource description file ===

The capabilities of the resource need to be described in both human understable and machine interpretable form.
This is achieved through a so-called desktop file, similar to those installed by applications.

Since the '''vcarddirresource.desktop''' file generated by KAppTemplate contains only example values, we need to edit it:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Akonadi VCardDir Resource
Comment=Resource for a directory containing contact data files

Type=AkonadiResource
Exec=akonadi_vcarddir_resource
Icon=text-directory

X-Akonadi-MimeTypes=text/directory
X-Akonadi-Capabilities=Resource
X-Akonadi-Identifier=akonadi_vcarddir_resource
</syntaxhighlight>

'''Name''' and '''Comment''' are strings visible to the user and can be translated. Since our resource will serve contact data, the example valued for '''Icon''' and '''X-Akonadi-MimeTypes''' fields are conveniently correct.

== Resource Configuration ==

Since the backend of our resource will be a file system directory, we need a way to let the user configure it and a way to persistantly store this configuration.

KDE has a nice framework for this called [[Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT| KConfig XT]] which enabled us developers to specify our config options as an XML file and have the code for storage and retrieval auto-generated.

The template we are basing our resource on already contains such a file, '''vcarddirresource.kcfg''', and we only have to add a new option for our base directory:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kcfg xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
xmlns:kcfg="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0
http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd" >
<group name="General">
<entry name="Path" type="Path">
<label>Path to a folder containing vCard files.</label>
<default></default>
</entry>
<entry name="ReadOnly" type="Bool">
<label>Do not change the actual backend data.</label>
<default>false</default>
</entry>
</group>
</kcfg>
</syntaxhighlight>

To enable the user to change this properties, we need to create and show a config dialog. Since we are using KConfig XT this is pretty easy, but for the scope of this tutorial we make our lives even more easier and just use a {{class|KFileDialog}}

{{warning|This simplification has the side effect that the passed window ID cannot be used as it should. See FAQ section at the end of the tutorial.}}

First we need to add two new include directives at the beginning of our source file '''vcarddirresource.cpp''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <kfiledialog.h>
#include <klocalizedstring.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

To show the dialog on the user's request, we need to modify the resource method <tt>configure</tt> which currently has an empty implementation.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::configure( WId windowId )
{
Q_UNUSED( windowId );

const QString oldPath = Settings::self()->path();
KUrl url;
if ( !oldPath.isEmpty() )
url = KUrl::fromPath( oldPath );
else
url = KUrl::fromPath( QDir::homePath() );

const QString title = i18nc( "@title:window", "Select vCard folder" );
const QString newPath = KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory( url, 0, title );

if ( newPath.isEmpty() )
return;

if ( oldPath == newPath )
return;

Settings::self()->setPath( newPath );

Settings::self()->writeConfig();

synchronize();
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The call to <tt>synchronize</tt> at the end tells Akonadi to start retrieving the new data from our resource.

{{tip|Since there can be more than one resource of a certain type, it is recommended to change the resource name to something that makes them distiguishable. In the case of this example resource it could be the name of the base directory or part of its path}}

== Data Retrieval ==

In this section of the tutorial we will implement the data retrieval methods of our resource, i.e. the method which Akonadi will call to get the contact data our resource is providing.

=== Retrieving Collections ===

The first thing Akonadi will ask for are our collections. Resources can organize their data in a tree of collections, similar to how files are organized in a tree of directories on the file system.

For now we only want to support one directory so we only need one collection.
{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Extend this to map a tree of vCard directories into Akonadi.}}

Retrieval of collections is handled in <tt>retrieveCollections</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::retrieveCollections()
{
Collection c;
c.setParent( Collection::root() );
c.setRemoteId( Settings::self()->path() );
c.setName( name() );

QStringList mimeTypes;
mimeTypes << QLatin1String("text/directory");
c.setContentMimeTypes( mimeTypes );

Collection::List list;
list << c;
collectionsRetrieved( list );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The code creates a top level collection, i.e. its parent collection is Akonadi's root collection, sets the configured path as its remote identifier (so we could eventually map it back to our "backend" location) and uses our resource name as the user visible collection name.

Since our resource will be providing contact data, we need to set the respective MIME type to indicate which kind of data our collection will hold.

Finally the fully set up collection is sent to Akonadi.

{{tip|You can customize visualization properties of the collection, e.g. icon, by using the [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1EntityDisplayAttribute.html EntityDisplayAttribute] class}}

=== Retrieving Items ===

Retrieving items for a specific collection is similar to listing the files of a specific directory.
Conveniently our backend is a directory, so we can map this directly.

There are several methods to implement item retrieval, e.g. synchronous or asynchronous, all items in one go or in patches, etc.
For the scope of the tutorial we choose the easiest combination, i.e. synchronously provide all items in one go.
{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Use {{class|KDirLister}} to do this asynchronously and in patches.}}

First we need another include directive:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <QtCore/QDir>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then we implement <tt>retrieveItems</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::retrieveItems( const Akonadi::Collection &collection )
{
// our collections have the mapped path as their remote identifier
const QString path = collection.remoteId();

QDir dir( path );

QStringList filters;
filters << QLatin1String( "*.vcf" );
const QStringList fileList = dir.entryList( filters, QDir::Files );

Item::List items;
foreach( const QString &file, fileList ) {
Item item( QLatin1String( "text/directory" ) );
item.setRemoteId( path + QLatin1Char( '/' ) + file );

items << item;
}

itemsRetrieved( items );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Our earlier decision to use the directory's path as the collection's remote identifier conveniently allows us to retrieve the path from the given collection.

We then list all vCard files in that directory and create one Akonadi item for each one, this time using the path plus the file's name as the remote identifier.

{{note|This rather primitive implementation assumes that all files with the extension <tt>vcf</tt> are indeed vCard files and contain only one vCard each.}}

Finally the whole list of items is sent to Akonadi.

=== Retrieving Item Data ===

Continuing our file system analogy, retrieving a specific item's data is similar to reading a specific file's data or its associated meta data.
So we have again the convenience of a direct mapping between Akonadi and backend functionality.

Since our backend items are vCard files, we need to parse them into data structures which we can then use as item payloads.

KDE's class for holding contact data is [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kabc/html/classKABC_1_1Addressee.html KABC::Addressee] and we can use [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kabc/html/classKABC_1_1VCardConverter.html KABC::VCardConverter] for file parsing.

First we need another set of includes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <kabc/addressee.h>
#include <kabc/vcardconverter.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then we implement the <tt>retrieveItem</tt> method:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
bool VCardDirResource::retrieveItem( const Akonadi::Item &item, const QSet<QByteArray> &parts )
{
Q_UNUSED( parts );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

QFile file( fileName );
if ( !file.open( QFile::ReadOnly ) )
return false;

const QByteArray data = file.readAll();
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return false;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
KABC::Addressee addressee = converter.parseVCard( data );
if ( addressee.isEmpty() )
return false;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

itemRetrieved( newItem );
return true;
}
</syntaxhighlight>

And additionally we need to edit '''CMakeLists.txt''' to make it link the library for the <tt>KABC</tt> classes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
target_link_libraries(akonadi_vcarddir_resource ${KDE4_AKONADI_LIBS} ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTDBUS_LIBRARY} ${KDE4_KDECORE_LIBS} ${KDE4_KABC_LIBS})
</syntaxhighlight>

Again aided by our decision what to use as the item's remote identifier, we can directly use it to open the respective vCard file.
After parsing the data we create a new item object, use the given item to initialize it, set the contact data object as its payload and send it to Akonadi.

{{note|Since we need the full vCard data for parsing, we ignore the <tt>parts</tt> parameter and always retrieve the full payload.}}

== Item Changes ==

All Akonadi clients, e.g. end user applications, agents, etc., can at any time add items to collections, change item data and remove items from collections. If such a change happens in the collection tree of a resource, the resource should properly make the respective change on its backend.

By default, resources are only notified about which items have been changed and which of the parts have been modified.
To automatically the get the updated payload we only have to enable this operation mode on the resource's change recorder.

To do that we need another two include directives

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <akonadi/itemfetchscope.h>
#include <akonadi/changerecorder.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

and an additional line in the resource's constructor

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
changeRecorder()->itemFetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
</syntaxhighlight>

This tells the base implementation that each item change should be fetched with full payload before delivering it to the methods covered in the following subsections.

{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Add handling for collection changes, e.g. create subdirectories when child collections have been created.}}

=== Adding Items ===

In order to handle items being added to one of our collections, we need to implement the method <tt>itemAdded</tt>.

First we need another include directive for a helper class:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
#include <krandom.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

Now we can implement <tt>itemAdded</tt> like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemAdded( const Akonadi::Item &item, const Akonadi::Collection &collection )
{
const QString path = collection.remoteId();

KABC::Addressee addressee;
if ( item.hasPayload<KABC::Addressee>() )
addressee = item.payload<KABC::Addressee>();

if ( addressee.uid().isEmpty() )
addressee.setUid( KRandom::randomString( 10 ) );

QFile file( path + QLatin1Char( '/' ) + addressee.uid() + QLatin1String( ".vcf" ) );

if ( !file.open( QFile::WriteOnly ) )
return;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
file.write( converter.createVCard( addressee ) );
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setRemoteId( file.fileName() );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

changeCommitted( newItem );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

As usual we get the path of the directory a specific collection maps to from the collection's remote identifier.

Then we check if the newly added item is already equiped with a payload, in our case a KABC::Addressee object.
In either case we ensure that the object has an unique identifier by which we then use as the base name for the vCard file.

Finally we let Akonadi know that we have processed the item change and which remote identifier our backend has assigned to it.

=== Modifying Items ===

In our case handling item modifications is almost the same as handling item adding, however more sophisticated resource will most likely do different things depending on the <tt>parts</tt> parameter.

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemChanged( const Akonadi::Item &item, const QSet<QByteArray> &parts )
{
Q_UNUSED( parts );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

KABC::Addressee addressee;
if ( item.hasPayload<KABC::Addressee>() )
addressee = item.payload<KABC::Addressee>();

if ( addressee.uid().isEmpty() )
addressee.setUid( KRandom::randomString( 10 ) );

QFile file( fileName );

if ( !file.open( QFile::WriteOnly ) )
return;

KABC::VCardConverter converter;
file.write( converter.createVCard( addressee ) );
if ( file.error() != QFile::NoError )
return;

Item newItem( item );
newItem.setPayload<KABC::Addressee>( addressee );

changeCommitted( newItem );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Removing Items ===

Since we have a one-to-one mapping of items to files, an item removal is as simple as removing the respective file:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void VCardDirResource::itemRemoved( const Akonadi::Item &item )
{
Q_UNUSED( item );

const QString fileName = item.remoteId();

QFile::remove( fileName );

changeCommitted( item );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Backend Changes ==

Of course changes to collections and items might also happen on the backend and in cases where the backend can send out change notifications, the resource can map these changes directly into its collection tree.

The APIs for that are exactly the same which any other client would use, i.e. Akonadi's job classes.

{{tip|'''Exercise:''' Use {{class|KDirWatch}} to get notified about file and directory changes and modify the Akonadi storage accordingly.}}

== Testing ==

The [[Projects/PIM/Akonadi/Testing|Akonadi Test Framework]] allows to create self-contained test environments so developers do not risk impacting their normal Akonadi setup.

To install new resource to system run (might need root):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
make install
</syntaxhighlight>

or copy built files manually to the following locations:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$KDEDIRS/bin/akonadi_vcarddir_resource
$KDEDIRS/share/akonadi/agents/vcarddirresource.desktop
</syntaxhighlight>

where $KDEDIRS points to your KDE installation prefix.

Then run Akonadi Configuration (search by this keyword in kickoff launcher) and click "Add..." button to add new resource - new resource should be there; or in KAddressBook add new address book - new resource should be available as address book type (restarting akonadi server might help if it does not get into this list immediately).

{{improve|Create tutorial about using the test suite.}}

== Frequently Asked Questions and Tips ==

=== Base Class Methods ===

==== When is configure() called ====

[http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1AgentBase.html#88a08911cd0a69934207ef1a154a23ba ResourceBase::configure()] is called under two circumstances.
* as part of the resource's creation process: when the Akonadi control process creates a resource, it will also call the resource's '''configure()''' method through D-Bus once the resource has registered itself.

* when another program explicitly requests it: since '''configure()''' is exposed as a D-Bus method, any other program can call it to request a resource's reconfiguration. End user applications might offer this functionality to allow the user to change resource specific settings.

==== What is the purpose of the window ID parameter of configure()? ====

The resource is a program on its own, i.e. it is not the same process as the end user application working with the data provided by the resource.

In an in-process scenario any configuration UI can specify one of the application's top level widgets as its parent, thus associating the configuration UI with that window.

Window managing systems such as KDE's KWin use this information to keep new windows from interrupting the user unless they are very likely a consequence of a user's action.

To make such an association across process boundaries, the calling application can send a platforms specific window identifier over to the resource which in tunr can then use it to specify it as a "parent" for its configuration UI like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
ConfigDialog dialog;
KWindowSystem::setMainWindow( &dialog, windowId );
</syntaxhighlight>

See {{class|KWindowSystem}}

==== Is retrieveItem() called in the order retrieveItems() passes the items? ====

The purpose of [http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html#38d7c3713ed54dedf885d437de1ca11d ResourceBase::retrieveItem()] is to deliver additional item data, i.e. data not yet available in the Akonadi cache.

This can happen due to several different reasons, only one of them is '''retrieveItems()''' delivering just basic items.

An implementation should therefore '''always''' treat an invocation of this method as a single incidence unrelated to anything else.

Schedules/KDE4/4.9 Feature Plan

2012-04-13T03:38:06Z

DMaggot: /* kdeedu */

KigPlans

DMaggot:

Lets use this wiki entry tu discuss future plans for Kig. From the discussion here, we can create a feature list for KDE 4.9 and start working on that. Some of the ideas that have been collected so far are:

* Better Undo/Cancel Construction implementatinos (see [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229558 bug 229558], [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297484 bug 297484])
* Antialiasing (see [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122376 bug 122376]). This is actually a one-line patch, the real question is who's against and why.
* Add support for hyperbolic geometries, but this is a large topic and would take a good amount of work. Here is some work on [http://raoul.koalatux.ch/sites/hyperbolic_geometry/hyperbolic_geometry.html building an asymptote package for drawing in the Poincare disk].
* More work on Asy and Tikz/PGF exporters, fixing bugs and fill out the remaining holes.
* More flexible grids. We do not have any export options for polar grids. Maybe make grids more like the geometric objects.
* Review edge cases in file parsing
* Review bugs in windows
* Check this [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122443 KFormula integration request], interesting
