Detailed Description

The AlarmModel is a simple container of Alarm definitions stored in the alarm collection. The data provided by the model are read only, adding, modifying or removing data is only possible through Alarm functions. Any modification on the alarms or any new alarm added to the collection will refresh all the model instances. This also means that the delegates visualizing the model elements will also be re-created.

Example usage:

import QtQuick 2.4
import Ubuntu.Components 1.2
import Ubuntu.Components.ListItems 1.0
ListView {
model: AlarmModel {}
width: units.gu(80)
height: units.gu(100)
delegate: Subtitled {
text: message
subText: Qt.formatDateTime(date)
}
}

The model defines the same roles as the Alarm properties. Note that the use of enabled role in delegates may be ambiguous. Therefore the model defines the additional role called model, which represents the Alarm object from the index the delegate is showing the data, so the enabled role can then be accessed by simply dereferencing the model i.e. model.enabled.

Example:

ListView {
model: AlarmModel{}
delegate: Standard {
text: message
control: Switch {
checked: model.enabled
}
}
}

The number of alarm events can be obtained from the count property. To get a specific alarm event data from the model, use the get() function.

As the get() function returns the alarm object from the given index. Combined with the alarm functions the alarms can be updated in place.

Example:

ListView {
model: AlarmModel{
id: alarmModel
}
delegate: Standard {
text: message
control: Switch {
checked: model.enabled
onCheckedChanged: {
if (checked != model.enabled) {
var data = alarmModel.get(index);
data.enabled = checked;
data.save();
}
}
}
}
}

In this kind of "in place" updates using the model role would give the same result:

ListView {
model: AlarmModel{
id: alarmModel
}
delegate: Standard {
text: message
control: Switch {
checked: model.enabled
onCheckedChanged: {
if (checked != model.enabled) {
model.enabled = checked;
model.save();
}
}
}
}
}

Property Documentation

The number of data entries in the model.

Method Documentation

Returns the reference of the alarm event at index in the model. This allows the alarm data to be modified and updated either through normal component binding or in Javascript functions.

Component.onCompleted: {
var alarm = alarmModel.get(0);
alarm.message += " updated";
alarm.save();
}

This Javascript code returns the alarm properties from the first index of the model, updates its message and updates the alarm. Note that the alarm must be saved in order to have the changes visible. The follwoing code will not update the alarm in the model/collection:

Component.onCompleted: {
alarmModel.get(0).message += " updated";
alarm.message += " updated";
}

Note: The returned object is not guarantied to remain valid, it should not be used in property bindings. Also, reset() should not be called either as the call will clear the alarm data from the cache.

See also Alarm.

The function refreshes the model by invalidating the alarm cache. Use this function only if the refresh is absolutely required, otherwise it will cause performance problems.
