<h1>ItemSerializerPlugin Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.akonadi import *</code>
<p>

Namespace: <a href="../akonadi/Akonadi.html">Akonadi</a><br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<dl class="abstract" compact><dt><b>Abstract class:</b></dt>
<dd>This class can be used as a base class for new classes, but can not be instantiated directly.</dd></dl>
<p>The base class for item type serializer plugins.
</p>
<p>
Serializer plugins convert between the payload of Akonadi.Item objects and
a textual or binary representation of the actual content data.
This allows to easily add support for new types to Akonadi.
</p>
<p>
The following example shows how to implement a serializer plugin for
a new data type PimNote.
</p>
<p>
The PimNote data structure:
<pre class="fragment">
 typedef struct {
   QString author;
   QDateTime dateTime;
   QString text;
 } PimNote;
</pre>
</p>
<p>
The serializer plugin code:
<pre class="fragment">
 #include &lt;QtCore/qplugin.h&gt;

 class SerializerPluginPimNote : public QObject, public Akonadi.ItemSerializerPlugin
 {
   Q_OBJECT
   Q_INTERFACES( Akonadi.ItemSerializerPlugin )

   public:
     bool deserialize( Akonadi.Item&amp; item, const QByteArray&amp; label, QIODevice&amp; data, int version )
     {
       // we don't handle versions in this example
       Q_UNUSED( version );

       // we work only on full payload
       if ( label != Akonadi.Item.FullPayload )
         return false;

       QDataStream stream( &amp;data );

       PimNote note;
       stream &gt;&gt; note.author;
       stream &gt;&gt; note.dateTime;
       stream &gt;&gt; note.text;

       item.setPayload&lt;PimNote&gt;( note );

       return true;
     }

     void serialize( const Akonadi.Item&amp; item, const QByteArray&amp; label, QIODevice&amp; data, int &amp;version )
     {
       // we don't handle versions in this example
       Q_UNUSED( version );

       if ( label != Akonadi.Item.FullPayload || !item.hasPayload&lt;PimNote&gt;() )
         return;

       QDataStream stream( &amp;data );

       PimNote note = item.payload&lt;PimNote&gt;();

       stream &lt;&lt; note.author;
       stream &lt;&lt; note.dateTime;
       stream &lt;&lt; note.text;
     }
 };
