dbus-async-derive

dbus-async-derive is a proc derive macro to implement the dbus_async::Handler. This crate should be used to create a DBus service.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dbus-async-derive = "2.0"
dbus-async = "2.0"
dbus-message-parser = "3.1"
async-trait = "0.1"

Example

The following example show how to create a DBus sevice with the interface org.example.interface. This interface has a method ExampleMethod and a property ExampleProperty. The object is avaiable at /org/example/object/path.

use dbus_async::{Binder, DBus};
use dbus_async_derive::Handler;
use dbus_message_parser::{Error, MessageHeader};
use std::convert::TryInto;

#[derive(Handler)]
#[interface(
    "org.example.interface",
    method("ExampleMethod", method),
    property("ExampleProperty", "s", get_property = "get", set_property = "set")
)]
struct DBusObject {
    property: String,
}

impl DBusObject {
    async fn method(
        &mut self,
        dbus: &DBus,
        _msg_header: &MessageHeader,
    ) -> Result<(), (Error, String)> {
        // The code of the method
        println!(
            "The DBus socket where the message came from: {}",
            dbus.get_address()
        );
        // ...
        Ok(())
    }

    async fn get_property(
        &mut self,
        _dbus: &DBus,
        _msg_header: &MessageHeader,
    ) -> Result<String, (Error, String)> {
        Ok(self.property.clone())
    }

    async fn set_property(
        &mut self,
        _dbus: &DBus,
        _msg_header: &MessageHeader,
        new_value: String,
    ) -> Result<(), (Error, String)> {
        self.property = new_value;
        Ok(())
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (dbus, _connection_join_handle) = DBus::session(true)
        .await
        .expect("failed to get the DBus object");
    // Create the object
    let dbus_object = DBusObject {
        property: "".to_string(),
    };
    let object_path = "/org/example/object/path".try_into().unwrap();
    // Bind the same object to the second object path
    dbus_object
        .bind(dbus, object_path)
        .await
        .expect("Something went wrong");
}
