Importer Interface

The importer interface is used for including importers derived of GtAbstractImporter. With these external data can be written into the GTlab datamodel.

#include "gt_moduleinterface.h"
#include "gt_importerinterface.h"

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

    Q_INTERFACES(GtImporterInterface)

    [...]

    /**
    * @brief Returns identification string of importer.
    * @return Identification string of importer.
    */
    QList<QMetaObject> importer() const override;

    [...]

• QList<QMetaObject> importer()

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

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

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