## Description

AmtkActionInfoStore contains a set of AmtkActionInfo's. It is add-only, an AmtkActionInfo cannot be removed.

AmtkActionInfoStore is designed so that libraries can provide their own store, to share action information (with translations) and possibly the GAction implementations as well.

A library AmtkActionInfoStore must namespace the action names to not have conflicts when an AmtkActionInfo is added to the AmtkActionInfoCentralStore. Examples of namespaced action names: `"win.amtk-save"` or `"app.amtk-quit"`.

An AmtkActionInfoStore is meant to be something static, created on application startup. See the paragraph about static objects in AmtkFactory. So once an AmtkActionInfo has been added to an AmtkActionInfoStore, it is discouraged to modify it afterwards; an exception is to call `amtk_action_info_set_accels()` with several accelerators after using `amtk_action_info_store_add_entries()` (because an AmtkActionInfoEntry can contain only one accelerator).

## Functions

### amtk_action_info_store_new ()

    AmtkActionInfoStore *
    amtk_action_info_store_new (void);

#### Returns

a new AmtkActionInfoStore.

Since: 3.0

### amtk_action_info_store_add ()

    void
    amtk_action_info_store_add (AmtkActionInfoStore *store,
                                AmtkActionInfo *info);

Inserts `info` into `store` and into the AmtkActionInfoCentralStore. Both the `store` and central store must not already contain an AmtkActionInfo with the same action name. The stores take their own reference on `info` .

#### Parameters

store | an AmtkActionInfoStore. |
info | an AmtkActionInfo. |

Since: 2.0

### amtk_action_info_store_add_entries ()

    void
    amtk_action_info_store_add_entries (AmtkActionInfoStore *store,
                                        const AmtkActionInfoEntry *entries,
                                        gint n_entries,
                                        const gchar *translation_domain);

Calls `amtk_action_info_store_add()` for each entry.

If `translation_domain` is not `NULL`, `g_dgettext()` is used to translate the `label` and `tooltip` of each entry before setting them to the AmtkActionInfo.

An API similar to `g_action_map_add_action_entries()`.

#### Parameters

store | an AmtkActionInfoStore. |
entries | a pointer to the first item in an array of AmtkActionInfoEntry structs. | [array length=n_entries][element-type AmtkActionInfoEntry]
n_entries | the length of `entries` , or -1 if `entries` is `NULL`-terminated. |
translation_domain | a gettext domain, or `NULL`. | [nullable]

Since: 2.0

### amtk_action_info_store_lookup ()

    AmtkActionInfo *
    amtk_action_info_store_lookup (AmtkActionInfoStore *store,
                                   const gchar *action_name);

#### Parameters

store | an AmtkActionInfoStore. |
action_name | an action name. |

#### Returns

the found AmtkActionInfo, or `NULL`.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.0

### amtk_action_info_store_set_all_accels_to_app ()

    void
    amtk_action_info_store_set_all_accels_to_app
                                   (AmtkActionInfoStore *store,
                                    GtkApplication *application);

Calls `gtk_application_set_accels_for_action()` for all AmtkActionInfo's part of `store` with the accelerators returned by `amtk_action_info_get_accels()`. This function does *not* call `amtk_action_info_mark_as_used()`, because if it did it would not be possible to detect dead code in `store` with `amtk_action_info_store_check_all_used()`.

This function is not recommended if `store` is provided by a library, because a future version of the library may add accelerators that are not wanted in the application. So for a library store, you should let AmtkFactory call `gtk_application_set_accels_for_action()`.

This function can be convenient for an application store, in combination with `AMTK_FACTORY_IGNORE_ACCELS_FOR_APP` (and/or having a `NULL` GtkApplication in AmtkFactory). It has the advantage that `gtk_application_set_accels_for_action()` is called only once per action, not each time that a GtkApplicationWindow is created.

This function can also be useful if – for some actions – the objects are not created directly with AmtkFactory on application startup, but are created later, on demand. For example to create a GtkShortcutsWindow with AmtkFactory, containing information about actions that are not added to any menu or toolbar.

#### Parameters

store | an AmtkActionInfoStore. |
application | a GtkApplication. |

Since: 5.0

### amtk_action_info_store_check_all_used ()

    void
    amtk_action_info_store_check_all_used (AmtkActionInfoStore *store);

Checks for each AmtkActionInfo of `store` that it has been used (see `amtk_action_info_has_been_used()`). If an AmtkActionInfo has not been used, a warning is printed and might indicate dead code.

You probably want to call this function on the application store after creating the menu and toolbar. But it can also be useful for a store provided by a library, to easily see which actions are not used by the application.

#### Parameters

store | an AmtkActionInfoStore. |

Since: 2.0

## Types and Values

### struct AmtkActionInfoStore

    struct AmtkActionInfoStore;
