Hi Vala world, I'm trying to make some kind of description loader. I have a base class like so:
class Concept : Object { string name { get; construct; } string desc { get; construct; } } And one or more classes, e.g.: class Component : Concept { uint size { get; construct; } uint cost { get; construct; } } class Weapon : Component { uint damage { get; construct; } } My goal is to parse some text file like so: [Blaster I] type = Weapon desc = A simple blaster. size = 20 cost = 200 damage = 1 Then the parser class will provide a collection of Concept objects indexable by name and type. My question is, how do I best do this? Gtk.Buildable seems to approximate what I want, so I suppose I need to figure out how that works. My initial research seems to suggest that I need to use GLib.Type somehow, but my understanding is that the exact type does not get created until it is used. It seems to me that I'd need code like: var p = new MyTextFileParser(); p.register(typeof(Component)); p.register(typeof(Weapon)); // ... and so on ... Thanks in advance.
