Convert String to Component #57

Closed krulci closed 2 years ago

After creating a deviceId, how do you convert it back if you know the conponents of builder? I am trying to create a client and server communication.

This depends on which implementation of IDeviceIdFormatter and IDeviceIdComponentEncoder that you use.

Out of the box, it's a one-way process and you can't go back. Think of it like a hash.

But you could implement your own reversible version if you want - just implement IDeviceIdFormatter and pass it to your builder with the .UseFormatter method.
