  18         <h2>06 - Storage Module</h2>
  19
  20         <p>In this section we start implementing the Storage module. The storage module stores non-sensitive data required to re-generate
  21         passwords. We use a simple SQLITE database in this module, but nothing prevents us replacing it with a more complex storage
  22         module in the future.</p>
  23
  24         <h3>iStorage interface</h3>
  25
  26         <p>Once again, we start by defining the interface for the module and create the file <tt>istorage.h</tt> in the
  27         <tt>src/apps/PswGen/Storage</tt> directory:</p>
  28
  29         <pre class="hl"><span class="hl com">/**</span>
  30 <span class="hl com"> * &#64;file PswGen/Storage/istorage.h</span>
  31 <span class="hl com"> */</span>
  32
  33 <span class="hl ppc">#ifndef __PSWGEN_STORAGE_ISTORAGE_H</span>
  34 <span class="hl ppc">#  define __PSWGEN_STORAGE_ISTORAGE_H</span>
  35 <span class="hl ppc">#endif</span> <span class="hl slc">// istorage.h</span></pre>
  36
  37         <p>Include Qt header files for <tt>QObject</tt> and <tt>QString</tt> as they are almost always needed. In additon, we are going to
  38         include headers for <tt>QSharedData</tt> and <tt>QExplicitlySharedDataPointer</tt>. We need a container for the data that
  39         we store and making it shared data object with the benefit of automatic reference counting and memory management makes sense.</p>
  40
  41         <pre class="hl"><span class="hl ppc">#include &lt;QObject&gt;</span>
  42 <span class="hl ppc">#include &lt;QString&gt;</span>
  43 <span class="hl ppc">#include &lt;QSharedData&gt;</span>
  44 <span class="hl ppc">#include &lt;QExplicitlySharedDataPointer&gt;</span></pre>
  45
  46         <p>Use the <tt>eVaf::PswGen</tt> namespace:</p>
  47
  48         <pre class="hl"><span class="hl kwa">namespace</span> eVaf <span class="hl opt">{</span>
  49 <span class="hl kwa">namespace</span> PswGen <span class="hl opt">{</span>
  50
  51 <span class="hl opt">}</span> <span class="hl slc">// namespace eVaf::PswGen</span>
  52 <span class="hl opt">}</span> <span class="hl slc">// namespace eVaf</span></pre>
  53
  54         <p>The container class for stored data has the following attributes:</p>
  55         <ul>
  56             <li>Name -- Name of the generated password</li>
  57             <li>Length -- Length of the password</li>
  58             <li>Options -- Additional parameters for the password generator</li>
  59         </ul>
  60
  61         <p>The container class belongs to the Storage module and we use the <tt>eVaf::PswGen::Storage</tt> namespace for it:</p>
  62
  63         <pre class="hl"><span class="hl kwa">namespace</span> Storage <span class="hl opt">{</span>
  64
  65 <span class="hl kwc">class</span> Data <span class="hl opt">:</span> <span class="hl kwc">public</span> QSharedData

  71     <span class="hl kwb">int</span> mLength<span class="hl opt">;</span>
  72     uint mFlags<span class="hl opt">;</span>
  73
  74 <span class="hl opt">};</span>
  75
  76 <span class="hl opt">}</span> <span class="hl slc">// eVaf::PswGen::Storage</span></pre>
  77
  78         <p>The extra attribute - <tt>mModified</tt> - is used to detect unsaved modifications in the data object.</p>
  79
  80         <p>Add constructors for the shared data class. Creating a data object without name makes no sense and we include the
  81         name attribute in all our constructors:</p>
  82
  83         <pre class="hl"><span class="hl kwc">public</span><span class="hl opt">:</span>
  84
  85     <span class="hl kwd">Data</span><span class="hl opt">(</span>QString <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">&amp;</span> name<span class="hl opt">)</span>

  99     <span class="hl opt">{}</span></pre>
 100
 101     <p>Fianlly, we add getter and setter methods:</p>
 102
 103     <pre class="hl">
 104     QString <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">&amp;</span> <span class="hl kwd">name</span><span class="hl opt">()</span> <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">{</span> <span class="hl kwa">return</span> mName<span class="hl opt">; }</span>

 116     <span class="hl kwb">void</span> <span class="hl kwd">setFlags</span><span class="hl opt">(</span>uint value<span class="hl opt">)</span>
 117     <span class="hl opt">{</span>
 118         <span class="hl kwa">if</span> <span class="hl opt">(</span>mFlags <span class="hl opt">!=</span> value<span class="hl opt">) {</span>
 119             mFlags <span class="hl opt">=</span> value<span class="hl opt">;</span>
 120             mModified <span class="hl opt">=</span> <span class="hl kwa">true</span><span class="hl opt">;</span>
 121         <span class="hl opt">}</span>
 122     <span class="hl opt">}</span>
 123
 124     <span class="hl kwb">bool</span> <span class="hl kwd">modified</span><span class="hl opt">()</span> <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">{</span> <span class="hl kwa">return</span> mModified<span class="hl opt">; }</span>
 125
 126     <span class="hl kwb">void</span> <span class="hl kwd">reset</span><span class="hl opt">() {</span> mModified <span class="hl opt">=</span> <span class="hl kwa">false</span><span class="hl opt">; }</span></pre>
 127
 128     <p>The <tt>reset()</tt> method resets the <tt>modified</tt> attribute.</p>
 129
 130     <p>Continue with the <tt>iStorage</tt> interface:</tt>
 131
 132     <pre class="hl"><span class="hl kwb">struct</span> iStorage
 133 <span class="hl opt">{</span>
 134
 135 <span class="hl opt">};</span></pre>
 136
 137     <p>According to the specification, we need functions to store and query data:</p>
 138
 139     <pre class="hl">
 140     <span class="hl kwc">virtual</span> <span class="hl kwb">bool</span> <span class="hl kwd">save</span><span class="hl opt">(</span>QString <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">&amp;</span> name<span class="hl opt">,</span> QExplicitlySharedDataPointer<span class="hl opt">&lt;</span>Storage<span class="hl opt">::</span>Data<span class="hl opt">&gt;</span> data<span class="hl opt">) =</span> <span class="hl num">0</span><span class="hl opt">;</span>
 141
 142     <span class="hl kwc">virtual</span> QExplicitlySharedDataPointer<span class="hl opt">&lt;</span>Storage<span class="hl opt">::</span>Data<span class="hl opt">&gt;</span> <span class="hl kwd">query</span><span class="hl opt">(</span>QString <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">&amp;</span> name<span class="hl opt">)</span> <span class="hl kwb">const</span> <span class="hl opt">=</span> <span class="hl num">0</span><span class="hl opt">;</span></pre>
 143
 144     <p>The specification also mentions partial matches where entering "fa" would offer "facebook.com" if it exists. This could be done by
 145     using the <tt>QCompleter</tt> class that provides auto completion in Qt widgets like <tt>QLineEdit</tt> and <tt>QComboBox</tt>. The
 146     <tt>QCompleter<tt> class needs a <tt>QAbstractItemModel</tt> for the auto completion word list and we can provide it
 147     from our <tt>Storage</tt> module:</tt>
 148
 149     <pre class="hl">
 150     <span class="hl kwc">virtual</span> QAbstractItemModel <span class="hl opt">*</span> <span class="hl kwd">autoCompletionModel</span><span class="hl opt">() =</span> <span class="hl num">0</span><span class="hl opt">;</span></pre>
 151
 152     <p><tt>QAbstractItemModel</tt> is not known at this moment and we need to add a forward class declaration to the beginning of the
 153     <tt>istorage.h</tt> file:</p>
 154
 155     <pre class="hl">
 156     <span class="hl kwc">class</span> QAbstractItemModel<span class="hl opt">;</span></pre>
 157
 158     <p>At the the end of the <tt>istorage.h</tt> file, we declare the <tt>iStorage</tt> interface:</p>
 159
 160     <pre class="hl"><span class="hl kwd">Q_DECLARE_INTERFACE</span><span class="hl opt">(</span>eVaf<span class="hl opt">::</span>PswGen<span class="hl opt">::</span>iStorage<span class="hl opt">,</span> <span class="hl str">&quot;eVaf.PswGen.iStorage/1.0&quot;</span><span class="hl opt">)</span></pre>
 161
 162     <p>This is the complete <tt>istorage.h</tt> file:</p>

 270     <h3>Storage module</h3>
 271
 272     <p>The <tt>Storage<tt> module is simple enough to be derived directly from the <tt>Plugins::iPlugin</tt> interface and needs only one
 273     header/source file. In general, I personally prefer short source files and follow the <i>one-class-per-file</i> rule. Only when classes
 274     are very simple and closely related I put the into the same source file.</p>
 275
 276     <p>Create the <tt>module.h</tt> header file in the <tt>src/apps/PswGen/Storage</tt> directory. Include <tt>istorage.h</tt> and
 277     <tt>Plugins/iPlugin</tt> header files. We use the <tt>eVaf::PswGen::Storage</tt> namespace for public classes and
 278     <tt>eVaf::PswGen::Storage::Internal<tt> namespace for private classes.</p>

 301     <p>We use the same name <tt>Module</tt> for the class that implements the module. This class is public and goes to the

 324
 325     <p>This module needs more complex initialization that the <tt>Generator</tt> module and we use the <tt>mReady</tt> flag to
 326     indicate that the module is fully initialized:</p>
 327

 332
 333     <p>The <tt>StorageImpl</tt> class is the internal implementation of the <tt>iStorage</tt> interface:</p>

 335     <pre class="hl">

 337
 338     <p>We could declare the <tt>Internal::StorageImpl</tt> class before the <tt>Module</tt> class, but as I like starting with more
 339     generic (public) classes and then go into the details, we add a forward declaration to the beginning of the file:</p>
 340
 341     <pre class="hl">

 345
 346     <p>The declaration of the <tt>StorageImpl</tt> class goes into the <tt>eVaf::PswGen::Storage::Internal</tt> namespace and the class
 347     shall be derived both from <tt>QObject</tt> and <tt>iStorage</tt>. However, since we also need to implement the
 348     <tt>QAbstractItemModel</tt> data model for the <tt>iStorage::autoCompletionModel()</tt> method, we derive it from the
 349     <tt>QAbstractListModel</tt> class instead. We use the <tt>QAbstractListModel</tt> class because it meets our requirements
 350     to return a list of auto completion words.</p>

 370     <p>First, we implement pure virtual methods found in the <tt>iStorage</tt> interface:</p>

 382
 383     <p>Since the <tt>QAbstractItemModel</tt> data model is implemented by the same class, we can simply return <tt>this</tt> in the
 384     <tt>autoCompletionModel()</tt> model.</p>
 385
 386     <p>The <tt>QAbstractListModel</tt> class also has pure virtual methods that need to be implemented:</p>

 396
 397     <p><tt>mData</tt> here is a container with all the stored data objects, which we add to the <tt>private</tt> section. We use
 398     a <tt>QMap&lt;QString, QExplicitlySharedDataPointer&lt;Storage::Data&gt; &gt;</tt> for this purpose as it allows fast lookups
 399     by the name string.</p>
 400
 401     <pre class="hl">

 405
 406     <p>Permanent data storage is done using a SQLITE database. We add the database object and a methods to load data from the database. We
 407     also need a method to create database tables if they do not exist yet:</p>
 408
 409     <pre class="hl">

 414     <span class="hl kwb">bool</span> <span class="hl kwd">loadData</span><span class="hl opt">();</span></pre>
 415
 416     <p>The database object needs names for the connection and for the database, which we can add as constants to the class:</p>
 417
 418     <pre class="hl">
 419     <span class="hl kwb">static char const</span> <span class="hl opt">*</span> <span class="hl kwb">const</span> DbConnectionName<span class="hl opt">;</span>

 422
 423     <p>The database needs to be opened and closed, and the list of data objects populated with data from the database. For this purpose
 424     we add <tt>init()</tt> and <tt>done()</tt> methods to the public section of the class. The <tt>init()</tt> method can return
 425     <tt>false</tt> if the initialization fails.</p>
