CommandableGrpcController

Abstract controller that receives commands via the gRPC protocol.

Extends: GrpcController

See also CommandableGrpcClient, GrpcController

Description

Abstract controller that receives commands via gRPC protocol to operations automatically generated for commands defined in ICommandable.

Important points

  • Each command is exposed as an Invoke method that receives a command name and parameters.
  • Commandable controllers require only 3 lines of code to implement a robust external gRPC-based remote interface.

Configuration parameters

  • dependencies:
    • endpoint: override for HTTP Endpoint dependency
    • controller: override for Controller dependency
  • connection(s):
    • discovery_key: (optional) key to retrieve the connection from IDiscovery
    • protocol: connection protocol: http or https
    • host: host name or IP address
    • port: port number
    • uri: resource URI or connection string with all parameters in it

References

  • *:discovery:*:*:1.0 - (optional) IDiscovery services
  • *:logger:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
  • *:counters:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ICounters components to pass collected measurements as specified by the counter’s source.
  • *:endpoint:grpc:*:1.0 - (optional) GrpcEndpoint reference

Constructors

Creates a new instance of the controller.

CommandableGrpcController(String name)

  • name: String - controller’s name.

Instance methods

register

Registers all controller routes in a gRPC endpoint.

@override

void register()

Examples

class MyCommandableGrpcController extends CommandableGrpcController {
   MyCommandableGrpcController():super('mydata') {
      _dependencyResolver.put(
          "controller",
          Descriptor("mygroup","controller","*","*","1.0")
      );
   }
}

var controller = MyCommandableGrpcController();
controller.configure(ConfigParams.fromTuples([
    "connection.protocol", "http",
    "connection.host", "localhost",
    "connection.port", 8080
]));

controller.setReferences(References.fromTuples([
    Descriptor("mygroup","controller","default","default","1.0"), controller
]));

await controller.open("123");
print("The GRPC controller is running on port 8080");
