The application offers the following features: + + * Tab-based browsing experience using QTabWidget. + * Download manager using a QProgressBar and QWebEngineDownloadItem. + * Bookmark manager using QTreeView. + +.. image:: images/tabbedbrowser.png + +The application's code is organized in several parts for ease of maintenance. For example, +:code:`DownloadWidget` provides a widget to track progress of a download item. In the following +sections, these different parts are discussed briefly to help you understand the Python code behind +them a little better. + +BookmarkWidget or :code:`bookmarkwidget.py` +=========================================== + +This widget docks to the left of the main window by default. It inherits QTreeView and +loads a default set of bookmarks using a QStandardItemModel. The model is populated at startup +from a JSON file, which is updated when you add or remove bookmarks from the tree view. + +.. automodule:: bookmarkwidget + :members: + +DownloadWidget or :code:`downloadwidget.py` +============================================= + +The widget tracks progress of the download item. It inherits QProgressBar to display +progress of the QWebEngineDownloadItem instance, and offers a context-menu with actions such as Launch, +Show in folder, Cancel, and Remove. + +.. automodule:: downloadwidget + :members: + +BrowserTabWidget or :code:`browsertabwidget.py` +=============================================== + +The widget includes a QWebEngineView to enable viewing web content. It docks to the right +of BookmarkWidget in the main window. + +.. automodule:: browsertabwidget + :members: + +MainWindow or :code:`main.py` +============================= + +This is the parent window that collates all the other widgets together to offer the complete package. + +.. automodule:: main + :members: + + +Try running the example to explore it further. |
