ITCB_Device_Protocol

public protocol ITCB_Device_Protocol

This just has a couple of common properties.

  • This is the device name.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var name: String { get }

  • This is any errors that may have occurred. It may be nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var error: ITCB_Errors! { get }

  • This is a “faux Equatable” method. It allows us to compare something that is expressed only as a protocol instance with ourselves, without the need to be Equatable.

    The reason for doing this, is that I don’t want to have to conform to the whole Equatable protocol. We just need a quick identity test, and this will give it to us without requiring anything too fancy.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func amIThisDevice(_ inDevice: ITCB_Device_Protocol) -> Bool

    Parameters

    inDevice

    The device that we are comparing.

    Return Value

    True, if we are the device.

  • This allows the user of an SDK to reject a connection attempt by another device (either a question or an answer).

    The reason that we have this, as opposed to a function return from the observer, is because I think observer should be one-way. Outgoing only.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func rejectConnectionBecause(_ reason: ITCB_RejectionReason!)

    Parameters

    reason

    The reason for the rejection. It may be nil. If nil, .unkownError is assumed, with no error associated value.
