void buildJSONCfgPathsFromJSONAndLoad(const std::string& configDir, const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonPaths)
This builds a list of paths to this type of attributes's JSON Config files from the passed jsonPaths array element. It then will load all the configs it finds at each path.
void buildAttrSrcPathsFromJSONAndLoad(const std::string& configDir, const std::string& extType, const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonPaths)
This builds a list of paths to the extType files to use to construct templates derived from the passed jsonPaths array element. It then will load all the configs it finds at each path.
auto buildObjectFromJSONDoc(const std::string& templateName, const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonConfig) -> AttribsPtr override
Parse passed JSON Document for esp::metadata::attributes::AbstractAttributes. It always returns a valid esp::metadata::attributes::AbstractAttributes shared pointer.
void setValsFromJSONDoc(AttribsPtr attribs, const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonConfig) pure virtual
Method to take an existing attributes and set its values from passed json config file.
auto parseUserDefinedJsonVals(const attributes::AbstractAttributes::ptr& attribs, const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonConfig) const -> bool
This function takes the json block specifying user-defined values and parses it into the passed existing attributes.

Protected functions

auto createFromJsonOrDefaultInternal(const std::string& filename, std::string& msg, bool registerObj) -> AttribsPtr
Called intenrally from createObject. This will create either a file based AbstractAttributes or a default one based on whether the passed file name exists and has appropriate string tag/extension for esp::metadata::attributes::AbstractAttributes.
template<class M>
void setEnumStringFromJsonDoc(const io::JsonGenericValue& jsonConfig, const char* jsonTag, const std::string& mapName, bool saveUnspecified, const std::map<std::string, M>& mapToUse, const std::function<void(const std::string&)>& valueSetter)
This function is accessed by various attributes managers during loading. It provides a generic handler to look for a particular jsonTag in the given jsonConfig document, and if it is present it will attempt to find the value in the passed string-keyed mapToUse of enum config values. If the string is present it will return the string, otherwise it will return an empty string. The consumer of the function is responsible for only setting a config value if the string is not empty. The enum class should have the first value defined as Unspecified and given the value ID_UNDEFINED.
auto setHandleFromDefaultTag(const attributes::AbstractAttributes::ptr& attributes, const std::string& srcAssetFilename, const std::function<void(const std::string&)>& filenameSetter) -> bool
Set a filename attribute to hold the appropriate data if the existing attribute's given path contains the sentinel tag value defined at esp::metadata::CONFIG_NAME_AS_ASSET_FILENAME. This will be used in the Scene Dataset configuration file in the "default_attributes" tag for any attributes which consume file names to specify that the name specified as the instanced attributes should also be used to build the name of the specified asset. The tag value will be replaced by the attributes object's simplified handle.

Function documentation

template<class T, ManagedObjectAccess Access>
esp::metadata::managers::AttributesManager<T, Access>::AttributesManager(const std::string& attrType, const std::string& JSONTypeExt)

Construct an attributes manager to manage shared pointers of attributes of type T.

Parameters
attrType A string describing the type of attributes, for
JSONTypeExt The attributes JSON file extension, which must be of the form 'XXXXXX.json', where XXXXXX represents the sub extension specific to the managed type of attributes (i.e. "stage_config.json" for configurations describing stages).

template<class T, ManagedObjectAccess Access>
std::vector<int> esp::metadata::managers::AttributesManager<T, Access>::loadAllFileBasedTemplates(const std::vector<std::string>& tmpltFilenames, bool saveAsDefaults)

Load all file-based templates given string list of template file locations.

Parameters
tmpltFilenames list of file names of templates
saveAsDefaults Set these templates as un-deletable from library.
Returns vector holding IDs of templates that have been added

This will take the list of file names specified and load the referenced templates. It is assumed these files are JSON files currently.

template<class T, ManagedObjectAccess Access>
std::vector<int> esp::metadata::managers::AttributesManager<T, Access>::loadAllJSONConfigsFromPath(const std::string& path, bool saveAsDefaults = false)

Load file-based templates for all JSONTypeExt_ files from the provided file or directory path.

Parameters
path A global path to configuration files or a directory containing such files.
saveAsDefaults Set the templates loaded as undeleteable default templates.
Returns A list of template indices for loaded valid configs

This will take the passed path string and either treat it as a file name or a directory, depending on what is found in the filesystem. If path does not end with JSONTypeExt_, it will append this and check to see if such a file exists, and load it. It will also check if path exists as a directory, and if so will perform a shallow search to find any files ending in JSONTypeExt_ and load those that are found.

template<class T, ManagedObjectAccess Access>
std::vector<int> esp::metadata::managers::AttributesManager<T, Access>::loadAllTemplatesFromPathAndExt(const std::string& path, const std::string& extType, bool saveAsDefaults = false)

Load file-based templates for all extType files from the provided file or directory path.

Parameters
path A global path to configuration files or a directory containing such files.
extType The extension of files to be attempted to be loaded as templates.
saveAsDefaults Set the templates loaded as undeleteable default templates.
Returns A list of template indices for loaded valid configs

This will take the passed path string and either treat it as a file name or a directory, depending on what is found in the filesystem. If path does not end with extType, it will append this and check to see if such a file exists, and load it. It will also check if path exists as a directory, and if so will perform a shallow search to find any files ending in extType and load those that are found.

This function is accessed by various attributes managers during loading. It provides a generic handler to look for a particular jsonTag in the given jsonConfig document, and if it is present it will attempt to find the value in the passed string-keyed mapToUse of enum config values. If the string is present it will return the string, otherwise it will return an empty string. The consumer of the function is responsible for only setting a config value if the string is not empty. The enum class should have the first value defined as Unspecified and given the value ID_UNDEFINED.

Parameters
jsonConfig The source json document
jsonTag The field to look for. If present expected to hold a string
mapName String map name, to be displayed if the value found in json is not found in mapToUse
saveUnspecified
mapToUse String-keyed map of enum values supported for the field that corresponds to jsonTag. See attributes::AttributesEnumMaps.h/cpp.

bool esp::metadata::managers::AttributesManager<T, Access>::setHandleFromDefaultTag(const attributes::AbstractAttributes::ptr& attributes, const std::string& srcAssetFilename, const std::function<void(const std::string&)>& filenameSetter) protected

Set a filename attribute to hold the appropriate data if the existing attribute's given path contains the sentinel tag value defined at esp::metadata::CONFIG_NAME_AS_ASSET_FILENAME. This will be used in the Scene Dataset configuration file in the "default_attributes" tag for any attributes which consume file names to specify that the name specified as the instanced attributes should also be used to build the name of the specified asset. The tag value will be replaced by the attributes object's simplified handle.

Parameters
attributes
srcAssetFilename The given asset's stored filename to be queried for the specified tag. If the tag exists, replace it to build the with the simplified handle given by the attributes (hence copy). If this DNE on disk, add file directory.
filenameSetter The function to set the filename appropriately for the given asset.
Returns Whether or not the final value residing within the attribute's asset filename exists or not.

This will only be called from the specified manager's initNewObjectInternal function, where the attributes is initially built from a default attributes (if such an attributes exists).
