Changes

The purpose of this page is Gramps was originally written as a GTK application intended to facilitate only be used in a discussion on graphical environment. Over time, support has been added for other user interfaces (CLI and web). In order to reduce unnecessary dependencies between the various interfaces, the organization software architecture is being organized into 5 main categories of the source files for Gramps. All code should reside - each in one their own directory.  The descriptions below provide the general purpose and scope of the four main subdirectorieseach category.

This directory contains the core components of Gramps. The src/gen/ directory shall not have any dependencies on the other top level source directories (src/gui/, src/cli/, src/webwebapp/, etc). The src/gen/ directory also shall not have any dependencies on the gtl gtk library. The word "gen" was chosen because it is short for "general" and "generic" which is a good way to describe code in this directory because it doesn't depend on or require a specific user interface. "gen" is also short for "genealogy" which is also an appropriate term for the code in this directory because it implements the "business logic" that makes Gramps a genealogy application. === src/gen/datehandler/ ===The datehandler directory contains the code for handling dates in different locales.

==== src/gen/filtersplug/report/ ====The filters This directory contains the code base class for filtering objectsreports, constants, and basic utilities. === src/gen/proxy/ ===This directory contains classes to provide proxy access to the Gramps database. === src/gen/simple/ ===This directory contains classes to provide simple access the Gramps database and reports.

=== src/gen/mimeutils/ ===The mime This directory contains the code for handling mime types in Grampsutility functions.

=== src/gui/viewseditors/ ===This directory contains the code for the various graphical "views" object editors used in the GUI. ==== src/gui/editors/displaytabs/ ====This directory contains the code for the tabs used in the GUI editors.

=== src/gui/views/treemodelsfilters/ ===This directory contains the code for the models used in the GUIfilter interface.

==== src/gui/views/selectorsfilters/ sidebar ====This directory contains the code for the object selection dialogs in the GUIsidebar filters.

=== src/gui/editorsglade/ ===This directory contains the code for the object editors used in the GUIGlade user interface definition files.

=== src/gui/editors/displaytabslogger/ ===This directory contains the code for the tabs used in the GUI editorserror logging and reporting.

== src/webwebapp/ ==

=== src/plugins/reportview/ ===This directory contains all the view plugins. === src/plugins/webreport/ ===This directory contains all the web report plugins. === src/plugins/webstuff/ ===This directory contains plugins providing web resources. == Related Gramps Bugs ==* #{{bug|2622}}: File Organization (GEPS 008)* #{{bug|4646}}: reports cannot be run from the command line in a non-GUI environment* #{{bug|2621}}: use python-setuptools instead of make (See [[GEPS 026: Replace 'make' for Gramps build]])
