Development

Introduction

Project structure and codebase in development, it promise to grow. This section would help with understand what is going on, before you start to work with code.

`src/app`

Currently, main application sources located at src/app folder, written by following principles:

Every file implement (extend) one of GTK 4 Widgets, according to the functional subject (e.g. class Browser : public Gtk::ApplicationWindow)
src/app does not contain other class types like models or libraries (another folders and namespaces at src root are reserved for these needs)
Namespaces match filesystem path, where directory namespaces are lowercase
Every file work with it own, 1th level child only, to prevent massive logic levels keeping in mind
All classes (but window) never work with parents (including their dependencies) but may receive system data types as the arguments in constructors
To access any children features, deeper or higher than 1th level of current class, use delegation methods (actions, getters and setters)
One file - one class. If the file requires additional (GTK) component, this component should be placed at similar folder with same name as parent filename. So we have simple hierarchy navigation logic - from app to window, from window to it container, etc.
At this moment, all constants named with uppercase, const everything that not mutable
#include application .hpp files in .cpp. For system libraries, use headers only. Do not place system dependencies in .cpp
App interact SQLite database, where table name match related class namespace, it may contain optional feature postfix (separated with double line)
App class tables in database wanted to store user data between app sessions and must contain only fields that related to this class (e.g. private and public variable values); also may contain primary key fields, to their parent (table) according to the namespace hierarchy
