## Properties

      "db"                       RhythmDB*             : Read / Write / Construct Only
      "entry-type"               RhythmDBEntryType*    : Read / Write / Construct Only
      "input-model"              RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read
      "output-model"             RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read

## Description

This widget contains a set of RBPropertyViews backed by RhythmDBPropertyModels and constructs a chain of RhythmDBQueryModels to perform filtering of the entries in a source.

It operates on an input query model, containing the full set of entries that may be displayed in the source, and produces an output query model containing those entries that match the current selection.

When the selection in any of the property views changes, or when rb_library_browser_reset or rb_library_browser_set_selection are called to manipulate the selection, the query chain is rebuilt asynchronously to update the property views.

## Property Details

### The `"db"` property

      "db"                       RhythmDB*             : Read / Write / Construct Only

RhythmDB instance

### The `"entry-type"` property

      "entry-type"               RhythmDBEntryType*    : Read / Write / Construct Only

The type of entries to use in the browser.

### The `"input-model"` property

      "input-model"              RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read

This RhythmDBQueryModel defines the set of entries that the browser filters. This property is not writeable. To set a new input query model, use rb_library_browser_set_model.

### The `"output-model"` property

      "output-model"             RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read

This RhythmDBQueryModel contains the filtered set of entries. It is a subset of the entries contained in the input model. This should be used as the model backing the source's entry view.

Sources using this widget should connect to the notify signal for this property, updating their entry view when it changes.
