Detailed Description

Holds scope attributes such as name, description, icon etc.

The information stored by ScopeMetadata comes from the .ini file for the given scope (for local scopes) or is fetched from the remote server (for scopes running on Smart Scopes Server). Use unity::scopes::Registry to get the metadata for a specific scope or all scopes.

std::vector<std::string> unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::child_scope_ids ( ) const

Return the list of scope identifiers aggregated by this scope.

The list returned by this method comes from the .ini file. The scope author must ensure that it contains all scopes that an aggregator might collect results from. This list may contain scopes that are not currently installed and are optional for proper functioning of the aggregator scope.

Returns
The list of scopes ids aggregated by this scope.
std::string unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::description ( ) const

Get the description for this scope.

Returns
The scope description.

Returns
The hot key.
std::string unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::icon ( ) const

Get the icon for this scope.

Returns
The scope icon.
bool unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::invisible ( ) const

Check if this scope should be hidden in the Dash.

Returns
True if this scope is invisible.
bool unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::is_aggregator ( ) const

Check if this scope is an aggregator.

Returns
True if this scope is an aggregator.
std::set<std::string> unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::keywords ( ) const

Returns
Enum of timeout type.
std::string unity::scopes::ScopeMetadata::scope_directory ( ) const

Get directory where scope config files and .so file lives.

Note that the directory is not set for remote scopes; in such case this method throws unity::scopes::NotFoundException.

Exceptions
unity::scopes::NotFoundExceptionif directory is not set
