Detailed Description

Helper class for readers and importer that need to load more than one resource.

Introduction

vtkURILoader is a class that will load URIs, giving vtkResourceStreams from resolved resource. URI logic (parsing, resolution) is implemented in vtkURI.

Some formats, such as GLTF, may refer to external resources through URIs. This URI loader can be used to solve this problem.

vtkURILoader provides "file" and "data" URIs loading. "file" URIs loading only supports localhost. More schemes may be supported in future versions.

Base URI

Base URI, specified in RFC3986#5, is a concept that enable URIs to refer to relative resources from a base resource. For example, you can have a file that needs to look for another file next to it. The best way to implement this, is to have the first file as the base URI, and the referenced file as a relative reference.

To set a local file as base URI, you should use SetBaseFileName, and for a local directory, you should use SetBaseDirectory. These functions generate a "file" URI from given path. For example, calling SetBaseFileName(".") will generate the following URI: "file:///<absolute-current-working-directory>/.". These functions should be used because they handle some platform specific details, such as adding a / at the beginning of the path on Windows, percent-encoding, resolving relative paths, "." and "..", checking that path exists and actual filesystem entry type is coherent.

If the loader has no base URI, it can only load full URIs. See vtkURI for more information.

Basic usage

Here is a basic example of vtkURILoader usage:

vtkNew<vtkURILoader> loader;
loader->SetBaseFileName("."); // Set current working directory as the base URI
// This Load call will parse the string to a vtkURI. In that case, the URI only has a path.
// Then it will be resolved from base URI. In that case, the current working directory:
// "file:///<cwd>/." + "example.txt" == "file:///<cwd>/example.txt"
// Then it will call the `DoLoad` function. This DoLoad function will check URI scheme,
// here "file", and call the right loading function. In that case LoadFile will be called.
// LoadFile will create a vtkFileResourceStream and open it on URI path.
auto stream = loader->Load("example.txt");
// stream is opened on ./example.txt... Or it is null, in case of error.
 
// When loading a full URI, base URI is ignored (see vtkURI::Resolve and RFC specs)
auto other = loader->Load("data:;base64,AAAA");
// other is a vtkMemoryResourceStream on the decoded base64 data. Here, 3 bytes, all equal to 0.

Note that in previous example, loader->Load() actually returns a vtkResourceStream, the real type can be accessed through SafeDownCast.

Usage in readers

When implementing a reader, you should use vtkURILoader if the format can contain URIs. Here are the global guidelines of URI loader support in a reader:

The function should be named SetURILoader.
Depending on the format, the reader may require an URI loader, or just optionally use it.
The reader may use a default constructed URI loader by default. This would enable full URI loading, such as "data" URIs.
When reading from a file name, using SetFileName function, the reader should internally open a vtkFileResourceStream on the file and create a vtkURILoader with a base URI set to FileName, then use the same code as the resource stream based reading. This prevents code duplication.

Extension

vtkURILoader::DoLoad is responsible of actually loading a full URI. It is a virtual function, so it can be reimplemented to let the user support additional schemes. In case you want do support additional scheme, URI scheme and host should be case-insensitive as specified in RFC3986#6.2.2.1.

vtkURILoader::LoadFile and vtkURILoader::LoadData are the actual implementation of "file" and "data" URI loading.

◆ SetBaseURI() [1/2]

bool vtkURILoader::SetBaseURI ( const std::string & uri )

Set base URI to use.

URI must be an absolute URI. It will be used by Resolve and Load(const vtkURI*) functions to resolve relative references.

It may be nullptr. HasBaseURI is a more explicit way to check that.

SetBaseURI(const std::string& uri) parses the URI from a string and then do the same as SetBaseURI(vtkURI* uri).

Base URI is manipulated as a non-const vtkURI because loader keep a owning reference on it.

Parameters

uri	A string to parse, or an existing URI. Empty string is the same as nullptr. Existing URI Reference count will be increased.

Returns: true if uri is a suitable base URI (i.e. is absolute).

◆ SetBaseURI() [2/2]

bool vtkURILoader::SetBaseURI ( vtkURI * uri )

Set base URI to use.

URI must be an absolute URI. It will be used by Resolve and Load(const vtkURI*) functions to resolve relative references.

It may be nullptr. HasBaseURI is a more explicit way to check that.

SetBaseURI(const std::string& uri) parses the URI from a string and then do the same as SetBaseURI(vtkURI* uri).

Base URI is manipulated as a non-const vtkURI because loader keep a owning reference on it.

Parameters

uri	A string to parse, or an existing URI. Empty string is the same as nullptr. Existing URI Reference count will be increased.

Returns: true if uri is a suitable base URI (i.e. is absolute).

◆ GetBaseURI()

vtkURI * vtkURILoader::GetBaseURI ( ) const

◆ SetBaseFileName()

bool vtkURILoader::SetBaseFileName ( VTK_FILEPATH const std::string & filepath )

Higher level way to set the base URI to an existing file.

Returns: true if filename can be resolved, false otherwise

◆ SetBaseDirectory()

bool vtkURILoader::SetBaseDirectory ( VTK_FILEPATH const std::string & dirpath )

Higher level way to set the base URI to an existing directory.

This generates a file URI on the absolute path of the specified directory "." file. path must refer to an existing directory.

Parameters

dirpath File path to use as base URI. dirpath may be relative, it will be automatically transformed into an absolute path.

Returns: true if path can be resolved, false otherwise
