Member Function Documentation

◆ DeleteProperty()

void nt::Topic::DeleteProperty ( std::string_view name )

inline

Deletes a property.

Has no effect if the property does not exist.

Parameters

name	property name

◆ Exists()

bool nt::Topic::Exists ( ) const

inline

Determines if the topic is currently being published.

Returns: True if the topic exists, false otherwise.

◆ GenericPublish()

GenericPublisher nt::Topic::GenericPublish	(	std::string_view	typeString,
		const PubSubOptions &	options = `kDefaultPubSubOptions`
	)

Create a new publisher to the topic.

The publisher is only active as long as the returned object is not destroyed.

Note: It is not possible to publish two different data types to the same topic. Conflicts between publishers are typically resolved by the server on a first-come, first-served basis. Any published values that do not match the topic's data type are dropped (ignored). To determine if the data type matches, use the appropriate Topic functions.

Parameters

typeString	type string
options	publish options

Returns: publisher

◆ GenericPublishEx()

GenericPublisher nt::Topic::GenericPublishEx	(	std::string_view	typeString,
		const wpi::json &	properties,
		const PubSubOptions &	options = `kDefaultPubSubOptions`
	)

Create a new publisher to the topic, with type string and initial properties.

The publisher is only active as long as the returned object is not destroyed.

Note: It is not possible to publish two different data types to the same topic. Conflicts between publishers are typically resolved by the server on a first-come, first-served basis. Any published values that do not match the topic's data type are dropped (ignored). To determine if the data type matches, use the appropriate Topic functions.

Parameters

typeString	type string
properties	JSON properties
options	publish options

Returns: publisher

◆ GenericSubscribe() [1/2]

GenericSubscriber nt::Topic::GenericSubscribe ( const PubSubOptions & options = kDefaultPubSubOptions )

Create a new subscriber to the topic.

The subscriber is only active as long as the returned object is not destroyed.

Parameters

options subscribe options

Returns: subscriber

◆ GenericSubscribe() [2/2]

GenericSubscriber nt::Topic::GenericSubscribe	(	std::string_view	typeString,
		const PubSubOptions &	options = `kDefaultPubSubOptions`
	)

Create a new subscriber to the topic.

The subscriber is only active as long as the returned object is not destroyed.

Note: Subscribers that do not match the published data type do not return any values. To determine if the data type matches, use the appropriate Topic functions.

Parameters

typeString	type string
options	subscribe options

Returns: subscriber

◆ GetGenericEntry() [1/2]

GenericEntry nt::Topic::GetGenericEntry ( const PubSubOptions & options = kDefaultPubSubOptions )

Create a new generic entry for the topic.

Entries act as a combination of a subscriber and a weak publisher. The subscriber is active as long as the entry is not destroyed. The publisher is created when the entry is first written to, and remains active until either Unpublish() is called or the entry is destroyed.

Note: It is not possible to use two different data types with the same topic. Conflicts between publishers are typically resolved by the server on a first-come, first-served basis. Any published values that do not match the topic's data type are dropped (ignored), and the entry will show no new values if the data type does not match. To determine if the data type matches, use the appropriate Topic functions.

Parameters

options publish and/or subscribe options

Returns: entry

◆ GetGenericEntry() [2/2]

GenericEntry nt::Topic::GetGenericEntry	(	std::string_view	typeString,
		const PubSubOptions &	options = `kDefaultPubSubOptions`
	)

Create a new generic entry for the topic.

Entries act as a combination of a subscriber and a weak publisher. The subscriber is active as long as the entry is not destroyed. The publisher is created when the entry is first written to, and remains active until either Unpublish() is called or the entry is destroyed.

Note: It is not possible to use two different data types with the same topic. Conflicts between publishers are typically resolved by the server on a first-come, first-served basis. Any published values that do not match the topic's data type are dropped (ignored), and the entry will show no new values if the data type does not match. To determine if the data type matches, use the appropriate Topic functions.

Parameters

typeString	type string
options	publish and/or subscribe options

Returns: entry

◆ GetHandle()

NT_Topic nt::Topic::GetHandle ( ) const

inline

Gets the native handle for the topic.

Returns: Native handle

◆ GetInfo()

TopicInfo nt::Topic::GetInfo ( ) const

inline

Gets combined information about the topic.

Returns: Instance

◆ GetName()

std::string nt::Topic::GetName ( ) const

inline

Gets the name of the topic.

Returns: the topic's name

◆ GetProperties()

wpi::json nt::Topic::GetProperties ( ) const

Gets all topic properties as a JSON object.

Each key in the object is the property name, and the corresponding value is the property value.

Returns: JSON object

◆ GetProperty()

wpi::json nt::Topic::GetProperty ( std::string_view name ) const

Gets the current value of a property (as a JSON object).

Parameters

name	property name

Returns: JSON object; null object if the property does not exist.

◆ GetType()

NetworkTableType nt::Topic::GetType ( ) const

inline

Gets the type of the topic.

Returns: the topic's type

◆ GetTypeString()

std::string nt::Topic::GetTypeString ( ) const

inline

Gets the type string of the topic.

This may have more information than the numeric type (especially for raw values).

Returns: the topic's type

◆ IsPersistent()

bool nt::Topic::IsPersistent ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the value is persistent through server restarts.

Returns: True if the value is persistent.

◆ IsRetained()

bool nt::Topic::IsRetained ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the topic is retained by server when there are no publishers.

Returns: True if the topic is retained.

◆ operator bool()

nt::Topic::operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicit

Determines if the native handle is valid.

Returns: True if the native handle is valid, false otherwise.

◆ operator==()

bool nt::Topic::operator== ( const Topic & ) const

default

Equality operator.

Returns true if both instances refer to the same native handle.

◆ SetPersistent()

void nt::Topic::SetPersistent ( bool persistent )

inline

Make value persistent through server restarts.

Parameters

persistent True for persistent, false for not persistent.

◆ SetProperties()

bool nt::Topic::SetProperties ( const wpi::json & properties )

inline

Updates multiple topic properties.

Each key in the passed-in object is the name of the property to add/update, and the corresponding value is the property value to set for that property. Null values result in deletion of the corresponding property.

Parameters

properties JSON object with keys to add/update/delete

Returns: False if properties is not an object

◆ SetProperty()

void nt::Topic::SetProperty	(	std::string_view	name,
		const wpi::json &	value
	)

Sets a property value.

Parameters

name	property name
value	property value

◆ SetRetained()

void nt::Topic::SetRetained ( bool retained )

inline

Make the server retain the topic even when there are no publishers.
