QOF Objects provide the means for describing a QofEntity to allow a storage backend to load and write a QofBook. While an entity can be thought of as an identified instance of some thing, the QOF Object describes how that entity can be created, how to find other entities of the same type, whether the object can be cached in the backend and how to compare entities of the same type.
To work with your own QOF Objects, you can use the QOF Generator to create sample objects and a mini-application with the SQL-type query interface. http://qof-gen.sourceforge.net/
#define QOF_OBJECT_VERSION 4 |
Defines the version of the core object object registration interface. Only object modules compiled against this version of the interface will load properly

void qof_object_foreach | ( | QofIdTypeConst | type_name, |
QofBook * | book, | ||
QofEntityForeachCB | cb, | ||
gpointer | user_data | ||
) |
Invoke the callback 'cb' on every instance ov a particular object type. It is presumed that the 'book' stores or somehow identifies a colllection of instances; thus the callback will be invoked only for those instances stored in the book.
Definition at line 174 of file qofobject.c.

void qof_object_foreach_type | ( | QofForeachTypeCB | cb, |
gpointer | user_data | ||
) |
Invoke the callback 'cb' on every object class definition. The user_data pointer is passed back to the callback.
Definition at line 140 of file qofobject.c.
{ GList *l; if (!cb) return; for (l = object_modules; l; l = l->next) { QofObject *obj = l->data; (cb) (obj, user_data); } }
const gchar* qof_object_get_type_label | ( | QofIdTypeConst | type_name | ) |
Get the printable label for a type. This label is *not* translated; you must use _() on it if you want a translated version.

{ const QofObject *obj; if (!type_name) return NULL; obj = qof_object_lookup (type_name); if (!obj) return NULL; return (obj->type_label); }

const QofObject* qof_object_lookup | ( | QofIdTypeConst | type_name | ) |
Lookup an object definition

gpointer qof_object_new_instance | ( | QofIdTypeConst | type_name, |
QofBook * | book | ||
) |
Create an instance of the indicated type, returning a pointer to that instance. This routine just calls the (*new) callback on the object definition.
