But ... - -In the face to face meeting in Karlsruhe it was decided to remove support -of bindings v1 and to deprecate the use of bindings v2. - -So at the end, **IT IS HIGHLY NEEDED TO SWITCH TO VERSION 3** - -This guide covers the migration of bindings from version 2 to version 3. - -The migration from version 1 is not treated here because bindings version 1 -are very old and probably do not exist anymore. If needed you can refer -to the old [guide to migrate bindings from v1 to v2](legacy/afb-migration-v1-to-v2.html). - - -Differences between version 2 and version 3 -------------------------------------------- - -### in v3 all is api - -The version 3 introduces the concept of "API" that gather what was called before -the daemon and the service. This is the new concept that predates the 2 others. - -The concept of API is intended to allow the definition of multiple APIs -by a same "binding" (a dynamically loaded library). - -Because there is potentially several "API", the functions that were without -context in bindings version 2 need now to tell what API is consumer. - -To be compatible with version 2, bindings v3 still have a default hidden -context: the default API named **afbBindingV3root**. - -To summarize, the functions of class **daemon** and **service** use the default -hidden API. - -It is encouraged to avoid use of functions of class **daemon** and **service**. -You should replace these implicit calls to explicit **api** calls that -reference **afbBindingV3root**. - -Same thing for the logging macros: **AFB_ERROR**, **AFB_WARNING**, -**AFB_NOTICE**, **AFB_INFO**, **AFB_DEBUG** that becomes respectively -**AFB_API_ERROR**, **AFB_API_WARNING**, **AFB_API_NOTICE**, **AFB_API_INFO**, -**AFB_API_DEBUG**. - -Example of 2 equivalent writes: - -```C - AFB_NOTICE("send stress event"); - afb_daemon_broadcast_event(stressed_event, NULL); -``` - -or - -```C - AFB_API_NOTICE(afbBindingV3root, "send stress event"); - afb_api_broadcast_event(afbBindingV3root, stressed_event, NULL); -``` - -### the reply mechanism predates success and fail - -### subcall has more power - -Task list for the migration ---------------------------- - -This task list is: - -1. Use the automatic migration procedure described below -2. Adapt the functions **preinit**, **init** and **onevent** -3. Consider use of the new reply -4. Consider use of the new (sub)call -5. Consider use of event handlers - -The remaining chapters explain these task with more details. - -Automatic migration! --------------------- - -A tiny **sed** script is intended to perform a first pass on the code that -you want to upgrade.

To achieve it, an unified -reply function's family is introduced: - -```C -void afb_req_reply(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info); -void afb_req_reply_v(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info, va_list args); -void afb_req_reply_f(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info, ...); -``` - -The functions **success** and **fail** are still supported. -These functions are now implemented as the following macros: - - -```C -#define afb_req_success(r,o,i) afb_req_reply(r,o,NULL,i) -#define afb_req_success_f(r,o,...) afb_req_reply_f(r,o,NULL,__VA_ARGS__) -#define afb_req_success_v(r,o,f,v) afb_req_reply_v(r,o,NULL,f,v) -#define afb_req_fail(r,e,i) afb_req_reply(r,NULL,e,i) -#define afb_req_fail_f(r,e,...) afb_req_reply_f(r,NULL,e,__VA_ARGS__) -#define afb_req_fail_v(r,e,f,v) afb_req_reply_v(r,NULL,e,f,v) -``` - -This is a decision of the developer to switch to the new family -**afb_req_reply** or to keep the good old functions **afb_req_fail** -adn **afb_req_success**. - -Consider use of the new (sub)call ---------------------------------- - -The new call and subcall (the functions **afb_api_call**, **afb_api_call_sync**, -**afb_req_subcall** and **afb_req_subcall_sync**) functions are redesigned -to better fit the new reply behaviour. In most case the developer will benefit -of the new behavior that directly gives result and error without enforcing -to parse the JSON object result. - -The subcall functions are also fully redesigned to allow precise handling -of the context and event subscriptions. The new design allows you to specify: - - - whether the subcall is made in the session of the caller or in the session - of the service - - whether the credentials to use are those of the caller or those of the - service - - whether the caller or the service or both or none will receive the - eventually events during the subcall. - -See [calls](reference-v3/func-api.html#calls-and-job-functions) and -[subcalls](reference-v3/func-req.html#subcall-functions). - -The table below list the changes to apply: - -| Name in Version 2 | New name of Version 3 -|:----------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------: -| afb_req_subcall | afb_req_subcall_legacy -| afb_req_subcall_sync | afb_req_subcall_sync_legacy -| afb_service_call | afb_service_call_legacy -| afb_service_call_sync | afb_service_call_sync_legacy -| afb_req_subcall_req | afb_req_subcall_req (same but obsolete) - - -Consider use of event handlers ------------------------------- - -Binding V3 brings new ways of handling event in services. You can register -functions that will handle specific events and that accept closure arguments. - -See [**afb_api_event_handler_add** and **afb_api_event_handler_del**](reference-v3/func-api.html#event-functions) |
