IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT YOU STILL NEED THIS GUIDE. -> -> THIS GUIDE WILL BE REMOVED IN A NEAR FUTURE - - -The ***binding*** interface evolved from version 1 to version 2 -for the following reasons: - -- integration of the security requirements within the bindings -- simplification of the API (after developer feedbacks) -- removal of obscure features, cleanup - -The ***binder*** can run ***bindings*** v1 and/or v2 in any combination. -Thus moving from v1 to v2 is not enforced, there is no real need. - -More, it is possible to write a dual ***binding***: - -- a ***binding*** that implements the version 1 and the version 2. - -However, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO SWITCH TO ONLY VERSION 2: - -- any new development SHOULD start using ***binding*** V2 -- existing ***bindings*** SHOULD migrate to the version 2 - -This guide covers the migration of bindings from version 1 to version 2. - -It also explains some of the rationale taken when migrating from version 1 to version 2. - -In the future, if ***binding*** api evolves to fresh versions (3, 4, ...) -it might be necessarily to write bindings implementing more than -just one version. -For example: - -- a ***binding*** being v2 AND v3 will resolve the issue of running on older and newer version of AGL. - -This should always be possible even if more complicated. - -Important things to known when migrating ----------------------------------------- - -One of the most important change when migrating from v1 to v2 is -that many functions use an hidden *common* variable. -This affects the functions of the following classes: - -- functions of class **daemon**: - - functions starting with **afb_daemon_...** - - functions for logging: **ERROR**, **WARNING**, **NOTICE**, **INFO**, **DEBUG** -- functions of class **service**: - - functions starting with **afb_service_...** -- callback functions: - - the register function (that is removed) - - the service init function - - the onevent function - -For these functions, the first parameter is now implicit. - -Let takes an example. -For ***binding*** v1 you had to write: - -```C - afb_daemon_broadcast_event(afbitf->daemon, reason, description); -``` - -For ***binding*** v2, you simply write: - -```C - afb_daemon_broadcast_event(reason, description); -``` - -This simplification is possible because the header files included for the bindings -now provide a common variable for storing the **daemon** and **service** data. - -As a programmer, you shouldn't care much about that hidden variable. -It simplifies the job, that's all and that is the reason of the change. - -An other important difference is between the version 1 and the version 2 is -on how the ***binding***'s **API** is documented. -The version 2 emphasis the **OpenAPI v3** description of the **API**. -For this reason, to avoid duplication of descriptions, only one description is expected: - -- The **OpenAPI** one. - -Task list for the migration ---------------------------- - -This task list is: - -1. Enforce use of binding v2 by setting **AFB_BINDING_VERSION** -1. Rewrite the main structure and the list of exported verbs -1. Adapt the init and callback functions -1. Removes the first parameter of functions of classes **daemon** and **service** -1. Consider where to emit logs for requests -1. Take care of store/unstore changes -1. Consider use of synchronous (sub)call requests -1. Optionally, removes explicit struct - -The remaining chapters explain these task with more details. - -Enforce use of binding v2 by setting AFB_BINDING_VERSION --------------------------------------------------------- - -By defining **AFB_BINDING_VERSION** to **2** you switch to version 2. -This is done as below. - -```C -#define AFB_BINDING_VERSION 2 -#include <afb/afb-binding.h> -``` - -After that you will get many errors when compiling. - -Rewrite the main structures and the list of exported verbs ---------------------------------------------------------- - -The structures describing the ***binding** changed from version 1 to version 2. - -The structure for describing verbs changed to include security -requirements. - -In version 1 it was: - -```C -struct afb_verb_desc_v1 -{ - const char *name; /* name of the verb */ - enum afb_session_flags_v1 session; /* authorization and session requirements of the verb */ - void (*callback)(struct afb_req req); /* callback function implementing the verb */ - const char *info; /* textual description of the verb */ -}; -``` - -In version 2 it becomes: - -```C -struct afb_verb_v2 -{ - const char *verb; /* name of the verb */ - void (*callback)(struct afb_req req); /* callback function implementing the verb */ - const struct afb_auth *auth; /* required authorization */ - uint32_t session; /* authorization and session requirements of the verb */ -}; - -``` - -The migration of instances of that structure requires the following actions: - -- rename field **name** to **verb** -- remove field **info** -- adapt field **session** if needed -- set field **auth** to NULL - -Example: - -```C - { .name= "new", .session= AFB_SESSION_NONE, .callback= new, .info= "Starts a new game" } -``` - -Becomes - -```C - { .verb = "new", .session = AFB_SESSION_NONE, .callback = new, .auth = NULL } -``` - -The field **auth** can be set to a value describing the requested -authorization. - -The main describing structure also changed. - -In version 1 it was: - -```C -struct afb_binding_desc_v1 -{ - const char *info; /* textual information about the binding */ - const char *prefix; /* required prefix name for the binding */ - const struct afb_verb_desc_v1 *verbs; /* array of descriptions of verbs terminated by a NULL name */ -};

-``` - -Might become: - -```C - AFB_REQ_INFO(req, "method 'new' called for boardid %d", board->id); -``` - -Take care of store/unstore change ---------------------------------- - -For efficiency, the version 2 redefined how storing/un-storing of -requests works. -Storing request is needed for asynchronous handling of requests. - -For ***bindings*** version, the signature of the functions were: - -```C -struct afb_req *afb_req_store(struct afb_req req); -struct afb_req afb_req_unstore(struct afb_req *req); -``` - -For version 2 it becomes - -```C -struct afb_stored_req *afb_req_store(struct afb_req req); -struct afb_req afb_req_unstore(struct afb_stored_req *sreq); -``` - -Where the structure ```struct afb_stored_req``` is opaque. - -It should require few code change. - -Also check the following chapter that explain that asynchronous (sub)calls -can be replaced by synchronous one, avoiding the need to store/unstore -requests. - -Consider use of synchronous (sub)call requests ----------------------------------------------- - -***Bindings*** can emit requests for themselves (calls) or for -their clients (subcalls). -With ***bindings*** version 2 comes also synchronous requests for both cases. - -So when migrating to bindings version 2, a developer can consider -to replace the asynchronous requests (with asynchronous call back) -by synchronous ones. - -See functions ***afb_service_call_sync*** and ***afb_req_subcall_sync***. - -Optionally, removes explicit struct ------------------------------------ - -The new definitions now includes **typedefs** for common -structures, as shown on below sample: - -```C -typedef struct afb_daemon afb_daemon; -typedef struct afb_event afb_event; -typedef struct afb_arg afb_arg; -typedef struct afb_req afb_req; -typedef struct afb_service afb_service; -``` - -So you can remove the keyword **struct** if it bores you. - -Example: - -```C -static void verb(struct afb_req req) -{ - ... -} -``` - -Might become: - -```C -static void verb(afb_req req) -{ - ... -} -``` - -Example of migration --------------------- - -The first ***binding*** that migrated from v1 to v2 was the sample **HelloWorld**. -Here is shown the differences between the version 1 and the version 2. - -```diff -diff --git a/bindings/samples/HelloWorld.c b/bindings/samples/HelloWorld.c -index c6fa779..505aee3 100644 ---- a/bindings/samples/HelloWorld.c -+++ b/bindings/samples/HelloWorld.c -@@ -21,9 +21,9 @@ - - #include <json-c/json.h> - -+#define AFB_BINDING_VERSION 2 - #include <afb/afb-binding.h> - --const struct afb_binding_interface *interface;
