QProtobufMessagePointer constructByName(const QString &messageType)

Detailed Description

Provides access to the properties of a message, using setProperty() and property(), without depending on what the message is.

Member Function Documentation

[static] QProtobufMessagePointer QProtobufMessage::constructByName(const QString &messageType)

Constructs QProtobufMessage using messageType. Returns a pointer to the constructed QProtobufMessage.

This function attempts to create a message whose type matches messageType. If messageType is unknown, the function returns nullptr. If the message is not found in the registry, the function returns nullptr. Ownership of the constructed message is given to the function caller.

QVariant QProtobufMessage::property(QAnyStringView propertyName) const

Get the value of the property propertyName.

If the propertyName isn't known then the returned QVariant is invalid.

See also setProperty().

bool QProtobufMessage::setProperty(QAnyStringView propertyName, const QVariant &value)

Set the property propertyName to the value stored in value.

If the propertyName isn't a part of the known fields then the value will not be written and the function returns false.

Returns false if it failed to store the value on the property. Otherwise true.

See also property().

[since 6.6] bool QProtobufMessage::setProperty(QAnyStringView propertyName, QVariant &&value)

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.6.

[since 6.7] QList<QByteArray> QProtobufMessage::unknownFieldData(qint32 field) const

Returns the unknown field values sorted as they were received from the wire.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.7.

[since 6.7] QList<qint32> QProtobufMessage::unknownFieldNumbers() const

Returns the field numbers that were not known to QtProtobuf during deserialization.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.7.
