Trait DelegateInterface

pub trait DelegateInterface {
    // Required method
    fn process(
        parameters: Parameters<'static>,
        attested: Option<&'static [u8]>,
        message: InboundDelegateMsg<'_>,
    ) -> Result<Vec<OutboundDelegateMsg>, DelegateError>;
}

A Delegate is a webassembly code designed to act as an agent for the user on Freenet. Delegates can:

• Store private data on behalf of the user
• Create, read, and modify contracts
• Create other delegates
• Send and receive messages from other delegates and user interfaces
• Ask the user questions and receive answers

Example use cases:

• A delegate stores a private key for the user, other components can ask the delegate to sign messages, it will ask the user for permission
• A delegate monitors an inbox contract and downloads new messages when they arrive

Required Methods

fn process( parameters: Parameters<'static>, attested: Option<&'static [u8]>, message: InboundDelegateMsg<'_>, ) -> Result<Vec<OutboundDelegateMsg>, DelegateError>

Process inbound message, producing zero or more outbound messages in response. All state for the delegate must be stored using the secret mechanism.

Arguments

• attested: an optional identifier for the client of this function. Usually will be a ContractInstanceId.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
