Detailed Description

A collection of functions to handle paths on MetadataNode instances.

Member Function Documentation

createPath()

static std::shared_ptr<const MetadataNode> iolink::MetadataNodeHelper::createPath ( std::shared_ptr< MetadataNode >  origin, const std::string &  path, std::shared_ptr< VariantDataValue >  value  )

static

Helper allowing to create the given path in given tree origin.

ex: /MRC/ext/pixelSize" or "MRC/ext/pixelSize" The method will only create missing nodes in given tree origin. If specified, the given value will be affected to last node of the given path ("pixelSize" in above example). If the whole path already exists, the last node will be overwritten with a created one containing given value.

Parameters

origin	node from where the path must be created
path	path to create
value	value to affect to the leaf of given path, null by default

Returns

the origin node

exists()

static bool iolink::MetadataNodeHelper::exists ( std::shared_ptr< const MetadataNode >  root, const std::string &  path  )

static

Check if a path exists in the metadata tree.

Parameters

root	The node from which to check the path.
path	The path to test.

getNode()

static std::shared_ptr<const MetadataNode> iolink::MetadataNodeHelper::getNode ( std::shared_ptr< const MetadataNode >  root, const std::string &  path  )

static

Helper returning child node of given root node using a path.

ex: "/MRC/ext/pixelSize"

The following paths are equivalent: "/MRC/ext/pixelSize", "MRC/ext/pixelSize", "\\MRC\\ext\\pixelSize" and "MRC\\ext\\pixelSize"

If child node doesn't exist, nullptr is returned.

Warning: Doesn't support wildcards or regexp.

Parameters

root	root of metadata tree to parse
path	path of nodes to follow to access to the searched one

Returns

searched child node if found (nullptr otherwise)
