Revision as of 23:10, 26 October 2014

Gramps was originally written as a GTK application intended to only be used in a 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, from Gramps 4.x onwards the software architecture has been organized into 5 main categories of code - each in their own directory.

The descriptions below provide the general purpose and scope of each category.

Contents

gramps/

This is the top level Gramps folder, in it you will find Gramps' source code. There are a lot of sub-folders, which are explained in the following sections.

In most folders, there is an __init__.py file. You may find some explanations there about the package.

gramps/data/

You will find here various data files used by gramps : manpages, icons...

gramps/debian/

You will find here various files used by Debian?

gramps/docs/

You will find here various files used to generate Gramps Developer Documentation? Sphinx..

gramps/example/

You will find here various example genealogy data-files files used by Gramps eg: csv, GEDCOM, Gramps XML....

gramps/help/

You will find here help?

gramps/images/

You will find here various image files eg: icons, webstuff?

gramps/mac/

You will find here various files used by mac?

gramps/po/

You will find here the translation files.

gramps/scripts/

You will find here the script files.

gramps/test/

You will find here the script files eg:GrampsLogger

gramps/windows/

You will find here various files used by MS-Windows eg: builder, nsis?

gramps/gramps/

This folder contains the core of Gramps' source code.

gramps/gramps/gen/

This directory contains the core components of Gramps.

It defines genealogy objects (Person, Place, Note...), database classes, generic plugins, and database access :

  • gramps/gramps/gen/db : Gramps Database Handling
  • gramps/gramps/gen/lib : The core library of Gramps objects
  • gramps/gramps/gen/proxy : Proxy class for the Gramps databases. This is a very powerful tool used to propose a filtered view of the database : Objects which are not marked private, (not) living persons...
  • gramps/gramps/gen/utils : Common utilities for Gramps code (progress monitor dialog, database utilities, callbacks between UI and database code)

Note:The gramps/gramps/gen/ directory shall not have any dependencies on the other top level source directories (gramps/gramps/gui/, gramps/gramps/cli/, gramps/gramps/webapp/, etc). The gramps/gramps/gen/ directory also shall not have any dependencies on the gtk library.

Note: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.

gramps/gramps/gen/datehandler/

The datehandler directory contains the code for handling dates in different locales.

gramps/gramps/gen/db/

The db directory contains the code for manipulating the Gramps database.

gramps/gramps/gen/display/

The display directory contains business logic for displaying database objects in textual form. For example, localized date display and name display code.

gramps/gramps/gen/filters/

The filters directory contains the code for filtering objects.

gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/

The rules directory contains the code for rules used by the filters. The rules are divided into sub-directories according to primary object type:

  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/citation
  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/event
  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/family
  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/media
  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/note
  • gramps/gramps/gen/filters/rules/person
