BrowserPlus Service Framework This project provides a header-only framework for easy authoring of BrowserPlus services in C++. A very simple demonstration service using this framework may be found at: http://github.com/dgrigsby/bp-helloworld. A more complex service based on this framework may be found at: http://github.com/browserplus/bp-pubsub. To use this framework: 1) Either download the files or setup bp-service-framework as a git submodule of your project. The projects listed above demonstrate the git submodule approach. 2) If you use CMake to build your service, you may find it convenient for your CMakeLists.txt to include build_support/BuildConfigs.cmake to setup some default compiler/linker settings. 3) Create a class for your service and derive it from bplus::service::Service. Add a default (no-arg) constructor to your service. 4) Add an invokation of: BP_SERVICE( YourClassName ) in your class declaration. 5) Use BP_SERVICE_DESC, ADD_BP_METHOD, ADD_BP_METHOD_ARG, and END_BP_SERVICE_DESC macros to setup the C API of your service. 6) Use Service::log() as needed. 7) If you want to hook the load/unload of your service's dynamic library to do work before any instances are allocated and/or after they are all destroyed, then override Service::onServiceLoad/Unload() with static member methods with the proper signature. If present, your method(s) will be called. 8) Use Service::context() to access information about an instance's client. Note you can't call this from your constructor, you must call it from an override of finalConstruct() or from another of your non-static methods. 9) Use Transaction::complete() and Transaction::error() to indicate method completion. 10) Use Transaction::invokeCallback() to invoke progress callbacks. 11) Use utility classes and functions from the bputil directory as needed.
