Observer
========
Overview
********
The ``lv_observer`` module implements a standard `Observer pattern <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern>`__.
It consists of
- subjects: each containing a value
- observers: attached to subjects to be notified on value change
A typical use case looks like this:
.. code:: c
//It's a global variable
lv_subject_t my_subject;
/*-------
* main.c
*-------*/
extern lv_subject_t my_subject;
void main(void)
{
//Initialize the subject as integer with the default value of 10
lv_subject_init_int(&my_subject, 10);
some_module_init();
}
/*--------------
* some_module.c
*--------------*/
extern lv_subject_t some_subject;
//Will be called when the related subject's value changes
static void some_observer_cb(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_observer_t * observer)
{
int32_t v = lv_subject_get_int(subject);
do_something(v);
}
void some_module_init(void)
{
//Subscribe to a subject
lv_subject_add_observer(&some_subject, some_observer_cb, NULL);
}
/*--------------
* some_system.c
*--------------*/
extern lv_subject_t some_subject;
void some_event(void)
{
//Set the subject's value to 30. It will notify `some_observer_cb`
lv_subject_set_int(&some_subject, 30);
}

Subject initialization
----------------------
Subjects have to be static or global :c:expr:`lv_subject_t` type variables.
To initialize a subject use :c:expr:`lv_subject_init_<type>(&subject, <params>, init_value)`.
The following initializations exist for types:
- **Integer** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_init_int(lv_subject_t * subject, int32_t value)`
- **String** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_init_string(lv_subject_t * subject, char * buf, char * prev_buf, size_t size, const char * value)`
- **Pointer** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_init_pointer(lv_subject_t * subject, void * value)`
- **Color** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_init_color(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_color_t color)`
- **Group** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_init_group(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_subject_t * list[], uint32_t list_len)`
Set subject value
-----------------
The following functions can be used to set a subject's value:
- **Integer** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_set_int(lv_subject_t * subject, int32_t value)`
- **String** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_copy_string(lv_subject_t * subject, char * buf)`
- **Pointer** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_set_pointer(lv_subject_t * subject, void * ptr)`
- **Color** :c:expr:`void lv_subject_set_color(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_color_t color)`
Get subject's value
-------------------
The following functions can be used to get a subject's value:
- **Integer** :c:expr:`int32_t lv_subject_get_int(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **String** :c:expr:`const char * lv_subject_get_string(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **Pointer** :c:expr:`const void * lv_subject_get_pointer(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **Color** :c:expr:`lv_color_t lv_subject_get_color(lv_subject_t * subject)`
Get subject's previous value
----------------------------
The following functions can be used to get a subject's previous value:
- **Integer** :c:expr:`int32_t lv_subject_get_previous_int(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **String** :c:expr:`const char * lv_subject_get_previous_string(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **Pointer** :c:expr:`const void * lv_subject_get_previous_pointer(lv_subject_t * subject)`
- **Color** :c:expr:`lv_color_t lv_subject_get_previous_color(lv_subject_t * subject)`
Observer

Subscribe to a subject
----------------------
to subscribe to a subject the following function can be used:
.. code:: c
lv_observer_t * observer = lv_subject_add_observer(&some_subject, some_observer_cb, user_data);
Where the observer callback should look like this:
.. code:: c
static void some_observer_cb(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_observer_t * observer)
{
...
}
It's also possible to save a target widget when subscribing to a subject.
In this case when widget is deleted, it will automatically unsubscribe from the subject.
In the observer callback ``lv_observer_get_target(observer)`` can be used to get the saved widget.
.. code:: c
lv_observer_t * observer = lv_subject_add_observer_obj(&some_subject, some_observer_cb, obj, user_data);
In more generic case any pointer can be saved a target:
.. code:: c
lv_observer_t * observer = lv_subject_add_observer_with_target(&some_subject, some_observer_cb, some_pointer, user_data);
Unsubscribe from a subject
--------------------------
.. code:: c
lv_observer_remove(observer)
To unsubscribe from a subject with all widgets you can use:
.. code:: c
lv_subject_remove_obj(subject, obj)
Subject groups
**************
There are cases when a subject changes, the value of some other subjects are also required.
As practical example imagine an instrument which measures either voltage or current.
To display the measured value on a label 3 things are required:
1. What we measure (current or voltage)?
2. What is the measured value?
3. What is the unit (mV, V, mA, A)?
What any of these 3 parameters changes the label needs to be updated,
and it needs to know all 3 parameters to compose its text.
For these kind of scenarios subject groups can be created.
For the above example it looks like this:
.. code:: c
lv_subject_t subject_mode; //Voltage or Current
lv_subject_t subject_value; //Measured value
lv_subject_t subject_unit; //The unit
lv_subject_t subject_all; //It will be the subject group
lv_subject_t subject_list[3] = {&subject_mode, &subject_value, &subject_unit}; //The elements of the group
lv_subject_init_int(&subject_mode, 0); //Let's say 0 is Voltage, 1 is Current
lv_subject_init_int(&subject_value, 0);
lv_subject_init_pointer(&subject_unit, "V");
lv_subject_init_group(&subject_all, subject_list, 3);
lv_subject_add_observer(&subject_all, all_observer_cb, some_label, NULL);
...
static void some_observer_cb(lv_subject_t * subject, lv_observer_t * observer)
{
lv_obj_t * label = lv_observer_get_target(observer);
lv_subject_t * subject_mode = lv_subject_get_group_element(subject, 0)
lv_subject_t * subject_value = lv_subject_get_group_element(subject, 1)
lv_subject_t * subject_unit = lv_subject_get_group_element(subject, 2)
int32_t mode = lv_subject_get_int(subject_mode);
int32_t value = lv_subject_get_int(subject_value);
const char * unit = lv_subject_get_pointer(subject_unit);
lv_label_set_text_fmt(label, "%s: %d %s, mode ? "Current" : "Voltage", value, unit);
}
Widget binding
**************
Base object
-----------
Set an object flag if an integer subject's value is equal to a reference value, clear the flag otherwise
.. code:: c
observer = lv_obj_bind_flag_if_eq(obj, &subject, LV_OBJ_FLAG_*, ref_value);
Set an object flag if an integer subject's value is not equal to a reference value, clear the flag otherwise
.. code:: c
observer = lv_obj_bind_flag_if_not_eq(obj, &subject, LV_OBJ_FLAG_*, ref_value);
Set an object state if an integer subject's value is equal to a reference value, clear the flag otherwise
.. code:: c
observer = lv_obj_bind_state_if_eq(obj, &subject, LV_STATE_*, ref_value);
Set an object state if an integer subject's value is not equal to a reference value, clear the flag otherwise
.. code:: c
observer = lv_obj_bind_state_if_not_eq(obj, &subject, LV_STATE_*, ref_value);
Button
------
Set an integer subject to 1 when a button is checked and set it 0 when unchecked.
.. code:: c
observer = lv_button_bind_checked(obj, &subject);
Label
-----
Bind an integer, string, or pointer (pointing to a string) subject to a label.
An optional format string can be added with 1 format specifier (e.g. "%d °C")
If the format string is NULL the value will be used directly. In this case on string ans pointer type subjects can be used.
.. code:: c
observer = lv_label_bind_text(obj, &subject, format_string);
Arc
---
Bind an integer subject to an arc's value.
.. code:: c
observer = lv_arc_bind_value(obj, &subject);
Slider
------
Bind an integer subject to a slider's value
.. code:: c
observer = lv_slider_bind_value(obj, &subject);
Roller
------
Bind an integer subject to a roller's value
.. code:: c
observer = lv_roller_bind_value(obj, &subject);
Drop-down
---------
Bind an integer subject to a drop-down's value
.. code:: c
observer = lv_dropdown_bind_value(obj, &subject);
