[Feature] Extend function calls #11

Closed tlindener closed 3 years ago

tlindener commented 10 years ago

Hi,

thanks for this great library. It works quite well even with UIPEthernet instead of Wiznet Ethernet...

Are you still working on extending the capabilities of the function api? I would like to implement the basic REST pattern based on functions but that doesn't seem to work currently.

I would like to do something like this: http://host/lamp/1/on with a single function instead of defining a function for every lamp and using the "params" to pass the action (on/off).

Hello, thanks for trying out my library! Great to hear that it is working even with hardware I didn't tested at all yet!

Sure, I definitely plan to extend the library for more RESTful operations. My initial source of inspiration was the REST API example of the Arduino Yun and also the API of the SparkCore (https://www.spark.io/).

Your idea sound great indeed. So what you suggest would be to be able to create some objects with properties and functions in the CRUD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delete) sense? Do you already have some code written for this new feature ?

Hello, you welcome! I was quite happy to have this! I'm relatively new to the whole arduino programming (I'm more of a C# guy ;) ) Yeah I would prefer something in the CRUD sense. You got that completely right :-) Unfortunately I don't have any code on this. I still trying to wrap my head about the basics of arduino programming.

No problem, I marked on the features request list and will be working on it in the next couple of weeks. Will keep you informed !
