## Detailed Description

The Node class is the base class of all nodes in the node hierarchy.

The nodes are arranged in a tree where leaves are FileNodes and non-leaves are FolderNodes A Project is a special Folder that manages the files and normal folders underneath it.

The Watcher emits signals for structural changes in the hierarchy. A Visitor can be used to traverse all Projects and other Folders.

See also ProjectExplorer::FileNode, ProjectExplorer::FolderNode, ProjectExplorer::ProjectNode, and ProjectExplorer::NodesWatcher.

## Member Type Documentation

### enum Node::PriorityLevel

## Member Function Documentation

### `[protected]` Node::Node(NodeType nodeType, const Utils::FileName &filePath, int line = -1)

Default constructs an instance of Node.

### `[virtual]` Node::~Node()

Destroys the instance of Node. The destructor is virtual.

### `[virtual]` ContainerNode *Node::asContainerNode()

### `[virtual]` const ContainerNode *Node::asContainerNode() const

### `[virtual]` FileNode *Node::asFileNode()

### `[virtual]` const FileNode *Node::asFileNode() const

### `[virtual]` FolderNode *Node::asFolderNode()

### `[virtual]` const FolderNode *Node::asFolderNode() const

### `[virtual]` ProjectNode *Node::asProjectNode()

### `[virtual]` const ProjectNode *Node::asProjectNode() const

### `[virtual]` QString Node::displayName() const

### const Utils::FileName &Node::filePath() const

The path of the file or folder in the filesystem the node represents.

### `[static]` FileType Node::fileTypeForFileName(const Utils::FileName &file)

### `[static]` FileType Node::fileTypeForMimeType(const Utils::MimeType &mt)

### bool Node::isEnabled() const

### bool Node::isGenerated() const

Returns `true` if the file is automatically generated by a compile step.

See also setIsGenerated().

### int Node::line() const

### bool Node::listInProject() const

Returns `true` if the Node should be listed as part of the projects file list.

See also setListInProject().

### ProjectNode *Node::managingProject()

### const ProjectNode *Node::managingProject() const

### NodeType Node::nodeType() const

### FolderNode *Node::parentFolderNode() const

The parent in the node hierarchy.

See also setParentFolderNode().

### ProjectNode *Node::parentProjectNode() const

The project that owns and manages the node. It is the first project in the list of ancestors.

### int Node::priority() const

See also setPriority().

### void Node::setAbsoluteFilePathAndLine(const Utils::FileName &filePath, int line)

### void Node::setEnabled(bool enabled)

See also isEnabled().

### `[protected]` void Node::setIsGenerated(bool g)

See also isGenerated().

### void Node::setListInProject(bool l)

See also listInProject().

### void Node::setParentFolderNode(FolderNode *parentFolder)

See also parentFolderNode().

### `[protected]` void Node::setPriority(int priority)
