## Signals

      "changed"                                        : No Recursion

## Description

An ESource (or "data source") is a description of a file or network location where data can be obtained (such as a mail account), or a description of a resource at that location (such as a mail folder).

In more concrete terms, it's an interface for a key file. All such key files have a main group named [Data Source]. The keys in a [Data Source] group map to GObject properties in an ESource.

Additional groups in the key file are referred to as "extensions". ESourceExtension serves as the base class for writing interfaces for these additional key file groups. The keys in one of these key file groups map to GObject properties in some custom subclass of ESourceExtension which was written specifically for that key file group. For example, a key file might include a group named [Calendar], whose keys map to GObject properties in an extension class named ESourceCalendar.

Each ESource contains an internal dictionary of extension objects, accessible by their key file group name. `e_source_get_extension()` can look up extension objects by name.

An ESource is identified by a unique identifier string, or "UID", which is also the basename of the corresponding key file. Additional files related to the ESource, such as cache files, are usually kept in a directory named after the UID of the ESource. Similarly, the password for an account described by an ESource is kept in GNOME Keyring under the UID of the ESource. This makes finding these additional resources simple.

Several extensions for common information such as authentication details are built into libedataserver (ESourceAuthentication, for example). Backend modules may also define their own extensions for information and settings unique to the backend. ESourceExtension subclasses written for specific backends are generally not available to applications and shared libraries. This is by design, to try and keep backend-specific knowledge from creeping into places it doesn't belong.

## Details

### struct ESource

    struct ESource;

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

Since 3.6

### e_source_new ()

    ESource *           e_source_new                        (GDBusObject *dbus_object,
                                                             GMainContext *main_context,
                                                             GError **error);

Creates a new ESource instance.

The "changed" signal will be emitted from `main_context` if given, or else from the thread-default GMainContext at the time this function is called.

The only time the function should be called outside of ESourceRegistry is to create a so-called "scratch" ESource for editing in a Properties window or an account setup assistant.

FIXME: Elaborate on scratch sources.

`dbus_object` : | a GDBusObject or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`main_context` : | a GMainContext or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`error` : | return location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new ESource, or `NULL` on error

Since 3.6

### e_source_new_with_uid ()

    ESource *           e_source_new_with_uid               (const gchar *uid,
                                                             GMainContext *main_context,
                                                             GError **error);

Creates a new "scratch" ESource with a predetermined unique identifier.

The "changed" signal will be emitted from `main_context` if given, or else from the thread-default GMainContext at the time this function is called.

`uid` : | a new unique identifier string
`main_context` : | a GMainContext or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`error` : | return location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new scratch ESource, or `NULL` on error

Since 3.6

### e_source_hash ()

    guint               e_source_hash                       (ESource *source);

Generates a hash value for `source`. This function is intended for easily hashing an ESource to add to a GHashTable or similar data structure.

`source` : | an ESource
Returns : | a hash value for `source`.

Since 3.6

### e_source_equal ()

    gboolean            e_source_equal                      (ESource *source1,
                                                             ESource *source2);

Checks two ESource instances for equality. ESource instances are equal if their unique identifier strings are equal.

`source1` : | the first ESource
`source2` : | the second ESource
Returns : | `TRUE` if `source1` and `source2` are equal

Since 3.6

### e_source_changed ()

    void                e_source_changed                    (ESource *source);

Emits the "changed" signal from an idle callback in `source`'s "main-context".

This function is primarily intended for use by ESourceExtension when emitting a "notify" signal on one of its properties.

`source` : | an ESource

Since 3.6

### e_source_get_uid ()

    const gchar *       e_source_get_uid                    (ESource *source);

Returns the unique identifier string for `source`.

`source` : | an ESource
Returns : | the UID for `source`

Since 3.6

### e_source_dup_uid ()

    gchar *             e_source_dup_uid                    (ESource *source);

Thread-safe variation of `e_source_get_uid()`. Use this function when accessing `source` from multiple threads.

The returned string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

`source` : | an ESource
Returns : | a newly-allocated copy of "uid"

Since 3.6

### e_source_get_parent ()

    const gchar *       e_source_get_parent                 (ESource *source);

Returns the unique identifier string of the parent ESource.

`source` : | an ESource

### e_source_get_enabled ()

    gboolean            e_source_get_enabled                (ESource *source);

Returns `TRUE` if `source` is enabled.

An application should try to honor this setting if at all possible, even if it does not provide a way to change the setting through its user interface. Disabled data sources should generally be hidden.

### Note

This function does not take into account `source`'s ancestors in the ESource hierarchy, each of which have their own enabled state. If any of `source`'s ancestors are disabled, then `source` itself should be treated as disabled. Use `e_source_registry_check_enabled()` to easily check for this.

`source` : | an ESource
Returns : | whether `source` is enabled

Returns whether new resources can be created on a remote server by calling `e_source_remote_create()` on `source`.

Generally this is only `TRUE` if `source` has an ESourceCollection extension, which means there is an ECollectionBackend in the D-Bus service that can handle create requests. If `source` does not have this capability, calls to `e_source_remote_create()` will fail.

`source` : | an ESource
Returns : | whether `source` can create remote resources

Since 3.6

Returns whether the resource represented by `source` can be deleted from a remote server by calling `e_source_remote_delete()`.

Generally this is only `TRUE` if `source` is a child of an ESource which has an ESourceCollection extension, which means there is an ECollectionBackend in the D-Bus service that can handle delete requests. If `source` does not have this capability, calls to `e_source_remote_delete()` will fail.

Returns an instance of some ESourceExtension subclass which registered itself under `extension_name`. If no such instance exists within `source`, one will be created. It is the caller's responsibility to know which subclass is being returned.

If you just want to test for the existence of an extension within `source` without creating it, use `e_source_has_extension()`.

Extension instances are owned by their ESource and should not be referenced directly. Instead, reference the ESource instance and use this function to fetch the extension instance as needed.

Asynchronously obtains the OAuth 2.0 access token for `source` along with its expiry in seconds from the current time (or 0 if unknown).

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `e_source_get_oauth2_access_token_finish()` to get the result of the operation.

`source` : | an ESource
`cancellable` : | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`callback` : | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied. [scope async]
`user_data` : | data to pass to the callback function. [closure]

## Signal Details

### The `"changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (ESource *source,

The ::changed signal is emitted when a property in `source` or one of its extension objects changes. A common use for this signal is to notify a GtkTreeModel containing data collected from ESources that it needs to update a row.

`source` : | the ESource that received the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
