adhadse / bookx Goto Github PK

Currently, the structure looks janky. My engineering skills should help me little bit.
Structure right now:

• library: handles internal state of library
• settings: global setting module
• ui: handles everything related to UI.

Changes afterward:

• models: module for model/data of individual components or entity here book, annotation, bookmark, how is it structured
• views: how that model is going to be read to become usable for widgets.
• widgets: forward facing module interacting with gtk widgets.

Take Read It Later as inspiration.

• This will store BookxLibraryBookData struct storing:
  • identifier: id of book
  • _type: the type of book
  • storage: path to book
  • cache: cache dir for book
  • cover_path: cover path for book
  • view_set
  • annotations_map: annotations mapping from cfi to color
  • annotations_list: Liststore.
• Method to implement:
  • load_data(): function to load data about book
  • add_annotation(): add annotations to book
  • remove_annotation(): remove annotations
  • add_bookmark(): add bookmark
  • remove_bookmark(): remove bookmark
  • add_view(): add view to view_set
  • delete_view(): delete view from view_set
  • save_cover(): save cover as png file to cache dir

For reference use this not working code.

• Change pages dir to library.

Implement:

• data/ui/library_book_box.ui
• data/ui/library_book_image.ui
• data/com.adhadse.Bookx.gresource.xml

• What kind of error is with loading a book?

The title says it all.

• When the user hasn't begun reading anything just provoke him to read with good message.
• Otherwise, tell user to continue the book where he left.

Something to do before releasing it for public use.
