Exporter Interface

The exporter interface is used for including exporters derived of GtAbstractExporter. With these external data can be written into the GTlab datamodel.

#include "gt_moduleinterface.h"
#include "gt_exporterinterface.h"

class MyModule: public QObject, public GtModuleInterface, GtExporterInterface
{
    [...]

    Q_INTERFACES(GtDatamodelInterface)
    Q_INTERFACES(GtExporterInterface)

    [...]

    /**

    * @return Identification string of exporter.

    QList<QMetaObject> exporter() const override;

• QList<QMetaObject> exporter()

Each GTlab module that implements the Exporter interface must provide a corresponding exporter() function. This function enables the execution of the exporter with a right-click on the target datamodel object.

By using the GT_METADATA macro, the exporter class can be transformed into a QMetaObject, facilitating integration with the Qt framework. If there are no exporters an empty QList can be returned.

QList<QMetaObject> retval;
retval << GT_METADATA(YourExporter);
return retval;
