Establishing a WAMP session

wamp::AsioContext ioctx;
wamp::Session session(ioctx);
wamp::spawn(
    ioctx,
    [&](wamp::YieldContext yield)
    {
        auto tcp = wamp::TcpHost("localhost", 8001).withFormat(wamp::json);
        session.connect(tcp, yield).value();
        auto sessionInfo = session.join(wamp::Realm("myrealm"), yield).value();
        std::cout << "Client joined. Session ID = "
                  << sessionInfo.id() << "\n";
        // etc.
        });
ioctx.run();

Registering a remote procedure

wamp::spawn(
    ioctx,
    [&](wamp::YieldContext yield)
    {
        :::
        session.enroll(wamp::Procedure("add"),
                       wamp::simpleRpc<int, int, int>(
                           [](int n, int m) -> int {return n+m;}),
                       yield).value();
        :::
    });

Calling a remote procedure

auto result = session.call(wamp::Rpc("add").withArgs(2, 2), yield).value();
std::cout << "2 + 2 is " << result[0].to<int>() << "\n";

Subscribing to a topic

void sensorSampled(float value)
{
    std::cout << "Sensor sampled, value = " << value << "\n";
}

wamp::spawn(
    ioctx,
    [&](wamp::YieldContext yield)
    {
        :::
        session.subscribe(wamp::Topic("sensorSampled"),
                          wamp::simpleEvent<float>(&sensorSampled),
                          yield).value();
        :::
    });

Publishing an event

float value = std::rand() % 10;
session.publish(wamp::Pub("sensorSampled").withArgs(value));

Usage Examples Using Asynchronous Callbacks

Establishing a WAMP session

class App : public std::enable_shared_from_this<App>
{ 
public:
    App(wamp::AnyIoExecutor exec)
        : session_(std::move(exec))
    {}

    void start(wamp::ConnectionWish where)
    {
        // `self` is used to ensure the App instance still exists
        // when the callback is invoked.
        auto self = shared_from_this();

        // Perform the connection, then chain to the next operation.
        session_.connect(
            where,
            [this, self](wamp::ErrorOr<size_t> result)
            {
                // 'result' contains the index of the connector used to
                // establish the connection, or an error
                result.value(); // Throws if result contains an error
                onConnect();
            });
    }

private:
    void onConnect()
    {
        auto self = shared_from_this();
        session_.join(
            wamp::Realm("myrealm"),
            [this, self](wamp::ErrorOr<wamp::SessionInfo> info)
            {
                onJoin(info.value());
            });
    }

    void onJoin(wamp::SessionInfo info)
    {
        std::cout << "Client joined. Session ID = "
                  << info.id() << "\n";
        // etc...
    }

    wamp::Session session_;
};

int main()
{
    wamp::AsioContext ioctx;
    App app(ioctx.get_executor());
    app.start(wamp::TcpHost("localhost", 8001).withFormat(wamp::json);
    ioctx.run();
}

    void onConnect(); // As above

    void onJoin(wamp::SessionInfo)
    {
        auto self = shared_from_this();
        session_.enroll(
            wamp::Procedure("add"),
            wamp::simpleRpc<int, int, int>(&App::add),
            [this, self](wamp::ErrorOr<Registration> reg)
            {
                onRegistered(reg.value());
            });
    }

    void onRegistered(wamp::Registation reg)
    {
        // etc
    }

    wamp::Session session_;
};

Calling a remote procedure

    {
        auto self = shared_from_this();
        session_.call(
            wamp::Rpc("add").withArgs(2, 2),
            [this, self](wamp::ErrorOr<wamp::Result> sum)
            {
                onAdd(sum.value());
            });
    }

    void onAdd(wamp::Result result)
    {
        std::cout << "2 + 2 is " << result[0].to<int>() << "\n";
    }

    wamp::Session session_;

Header-Only Installation

CppWAMP supports header-only usage. You may simply add the include directories of CppWAMP and its dependencies into your project's include search path. On GCC/Clang, this can be done with the -isystem compiler flag. You'll also need to link to the necessary Boost libraries.

You may use CppWAMP's CMake scripts to fetch and build dependencies. The following commands will clone the CppWAMP repository, build the third-party dependencies, and install the headers and CMake package config:

git clone https://github.com/ecorm/cppwamp
cd cppwamp
cmake -DCPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE -DCPPWAMP_OPT_HEADERS_ONLY -S . -B ./_build
cmake --build ./_build
cmake --install ./_build --prefix ./_stage/cppwamp

Two subdirectories will be generated as a result:

You may then use the following GCC/Clang compiler flags:

-isystem path/to/cppwamp/_stage/boost/include
-isystem path/to/cppwamp/_stage/cppwamp/include
-isystem path/to/cppwamp/_stage/jsoncons/include

as well as the following GCC/Clang linker flags:

-Lpath/to/cppwamp/_stage/boost/lib
-lboost_coroutine -lboost_context -lboost_thread -lboost_system

Note that only -lboost_system is necessary if you're not using the coroutine API.

You may omit the -DCPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE option if you want to use the third-party libraries installed on your system. You may provide hints to their location via the following CMake configuration options:

Compiling the library, tests, and examples

The steps are similar to the above Header-Only Installation, except that the -DCPPWAMP_OPT_HEADERS_ONLY option is omitted.

git clone https://github.com/ecorm/cppwamp
cd cppwamp
cmake -DCPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE=On -S . -B ./_build
cmake --build ./_build
cmake --install ./_build --prefix ./_stage/cppwamp

The necessary compiler flags to use in your project are the same as the above Header-Only Installation, with the following extra needed linker flags:

-L path/to/cppwamp/_stage/cppwamp/lib
-lcppwamp-core

Consult the root CMakeLists.txt file for a list of CPPWAMP_OPT_<option> cache variables that control what's included in the build.

Integrating CppWAMP into a CMake-based Project

With add_subdirectory

The following example CMakeLists.txt shows how to include CppWAMP via add_subdirectory:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.12)
project(MyApp)

if(allow_cppwamp_to_download_and_build_dependencies)
    option(CPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE "" ON)
else()
    option(CPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE "" OFF)
    # If the following are not set, CppWAMP will use the default
    # search paths of CMake's find_package() to find its dependencies.
    set(Boost_ROOT /path/to/boost)
    set(jsoncons_ROOT /path/to/jsoncons)
endif()

add_subdirectory(cppwamp)
add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp
    PRIVATE CppWAMP::coro-headers)

Any of the CppWAMP::* targets will automatically add the basic usage requirements of CppWAMP into your app's generated compiler/linker flags.

Please consult CppWAMP's root CMakeLists.txt file for a complete list of targets that you may specify for your app's target_link_libraries.

With FetchContent

You can use CMake's FetchContent to download CppWAMP and its dependencies at configuration time from within your project's CMakeLists.txt, as shown in the following example.

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.12)
project(MyApp)

if(allow_cppwamp_to_download_and_build_dependencies)
    option(CPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE "" ON)
else()
    option(CPPWAMP_OPT_VENDORIZE "" OFF)
    # If the following are not set, CppWAMP will use the default
    # search paths of CMake's find_package() to find its dependencies.
    set(Boost_ROOT /path/to/boost)
    set(jsoncons_ROOT /path/to/jsoncons)
endif()

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
    cppwamp
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ecorm/cppwamp
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cppwamp)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(myapp
                      PRIVATE CppWAMP::coro-headers)

With find_package

If you do not wish to embed CppWAMP as a subdirectory of your project, you may use find_package instead:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.12)
project(MyApp)

# If the following are not set, CppWAMP will use the default
# search paths of CMake's find_package() to find its dependencies.
set(Boost_ROOT /path/to/boost)
set(jsoncons_ROOT /path/to/jsoncons)

find_package(CppWAMP
             REQUIRED coro-headers
             CONFIG
             PATHS /path/to/cppwamp_installation
             NO_DEFAULT_PATH)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp
    PRIVATE CppWAMP::coro-headers)

This method requires that CppWAMP be previously built (either as header-only, or compiled) and installed so that its CMake package config (i.e. CppWAMPConfig.cmake) is generated. This can either be done outside of your project or via your project's CMake scripts (for example by using ExternalProject_add or FetchContent).
