CODE

Model

The app's model is represented by the "State" class, and "Menu" objects are the corresponding views. "State" is a simple container for various properties, and menus connect to those properties' changed() signals to know when the view needs to be refreshed.

As one can see in main.c, the app's very simple flow is to instantiate a state and its properties, build menus that correspond to the state, and export the menus on DBus.

Because State is a simple aggregate of its components (such as a "Clock" or "Planner" object to get the current time and upcoming appointments, respectively), one can plug in live components for production and mock components for unit tests. The entire backend can be mix-and-matched by adding the desired test-or-production components.

Start with:
include/datetime/state.h
include/datetime/clock.h
include/datetime/locations.h
include/datetime/planner.h
include/datetime/settings.h
include/datetime/timezones.h

Implementations:
include/datetime/settings-live.h
include/datetime/locations-settings.h
include/datetime/planner-eds.h
include/datetime/timezones-live.h

View

Menu is a mostly-opaque class to wrap GMenu code. Its subclasses contain the per-profile logic of which sections/menuitems to show and which to hide. Menus are instantiated via the MenuFactory, which takes a state and profile.

Actions is a mostly-opaque class to wrap our GActionGroup. Its subclasses contain the code that actually executed when an action is triggered (ie, LiveActions for production and MockActions for testing).

Exporter exports the Actions and Menus onto the DBus, and also emits a signal if/when the busname is lost so ayatana-indicator-datetime-service knows when to exit.
