25 * Represents a "shard" of a person from a single source (a single
26 * {@link Backend}), such as an XMPP contact from Telepathy or a vCard contact
27 * from evolution-data-server. All the personas belonging to one physical person
28 * are aggregated to form a single {@link Individual} representing that person.
30 public abstract class Folks.Persona : Object
33 * The internal ID used to represent the Persona within its {@link Backend}.
35 * This should not be used by client code.
37 public string iid { get; construct; }
40 * The universal ID used to represent the Persona outside its {@link Backend}.
42 * For example: `foo@@xmpp.example.org`.
44 * This is the canonical way to refer to any Persona. It is guaranteed to be
45 * unique within the Persona's {@link PersonaStore}.
47 public string uid { get; construct; }
50 * The {@link PersonaStore} which contains this Persona.
52 public weak PersonaStore store { get; construct; }
55 * The names of the properties of this Persona which are linkable.
57 * If a property name is in this list, and the Persona is from a
58 * {@link PersonaStore} whose trust level is {@link PersonaStoreTrust.FULL},
59 * the {@link IndividualAggregator} should be able to reliably use the value
60 * of the property from a given Persona instance to link the Persona with
61 * other Personas and form {@link Individual}s.
63 * Note that {@link Persona.uid} is always implicitly a member of this list,
64 * and doesn't need to be added explicitly.
66 * This list will have no effect if the Persona's {@link PersonaStore} trust
67 * level is not {@link PersonaStoreTrust.FULL}.
