Add example for converting nested objects

[ve3jrw]

Sorry, this isn't and issue but I don't know how else to contact you to ask this.

I've got converters that work well for flat data structures in a class and structures, but was wondering if it is possible to setup a converter for nested objects such that the javaObject ends up with the data at a reference like x.y.z ?

E.g. a converter that can convert to a javaScript object like this:

var building = { name : "Home", address : "1234 main street", size : { width : 100, depth: 50, height: 20 } }

Can the converter specify something like this? If so, could you provide a simple example?

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that the library is working very well for us. I was initially looking at using Autobahn|CPP but I'm finding cppWamp is a much better fit for us. The prototyping has gone well and we are near finalization of the technologies we want to use.

There is a CppWAMP mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cppwamp. I get instant notifications when someone posts there.

We do conversions to nested structures all the time here at work. All you need to do is define a convertible nested structure. I suppose I should add an example in the documentation. I'll use this issue as a reminder to add such an example.

Here's an example based on your JSON snippet:

struct BuildingSize
{
    float width;
    float depth;
    float height;
};

template <typename TConverter>
void convert(TConverter& conv, BuildingSize& size)
{
    conv("width",  size.width)
        ("depth",  size.depth)
        ("height", size.height);
}

struct Building
{
    std::string name;
    std::string address;
    BuildingSize size;
};

template <typename TConverter>
void convert(TConverter& conv, Building& building)
{
    conv("name",    building.name)
        ("address", building.address)
        ("size",    building.size);
}

or, alternatively:

template <typename TConverter>
void convert(TConverter& conv, BuildingSize& size)
{
    conv("width",  size.width)
        ("depth",  size.depth)
        ("height", size.height);
}

I'm glad to hear the library is working well for you. :-)

Great, I appreciate that and I'll get hooked up with the mailing list.

Thanks for all your help!
