## Detailed Description

QModelRoleData objects store an item role (which is a value from the Qt::ItemDataRole enumeration, or an arbitrary integer for a custom role) as well as the data associated with that role.

A QModelRoleData object is typically created by views or delegates, setting which role they want to fetch the data for. The object is then passed to models (see QAbstractItemModel::multiData()), which populate the data corresponding to the role stored. Finally, the view visualizes the data retrieved from the model.

See also Model/View Programming and QModelRoleDataSpan.

## Member Function Documentation

### QModelRoleData::QModelRoleData(int role)

Constructs a QModelRoleData object for the given role.

See also Qt::ItemDataRole.

### void QModelRoleData::clearData()

Clears the data held by this object. Note that the role is unchanged; only the data is cleared.

See also data().

### QVariant &QModelRoleData::data()

Returns the data held by this object as a modifiable reference.

See also setData().

### const QVariant &QModelRoleData::data() const

Returns the data held by this object.

See also setData().

### int QModelRoleData::role() const

Returns the role held by this object.

See also Qt::ItemDataRole.

### template <typename T> void QModelRoleData::setData(T &&value)

Sets the data held by this object to value. value must be of a datatype which can be stored in a QVariant.

See also data(), clearData(), and Q_DECLARE_METATYPE.
