Crate ice_rs

Quick Start

This quick start guide will cover a client for the ZeroC Ice Minimal Sample. Create a binary application with cargo new minimal-client and add ice-rs to your [build-dependencies]and [dependencies]. Now add a build.rs file with the following content:

use ice_rs::slice::parser;
use std::path::Path;
 
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
  println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=build.rs");
  let ice_files = vec![
      String::from("<path/to/Hello.ice>")
  ];
  let root_module = parser::parse_ice_files(&input, ".")?;
  root_module.generate(Path::new("./src/gen"))
}

Now add the following to you main.rs:

use ice_rs::communicator::Communicator;
use ice_rs::iceobject::IceObject;
 
mod gen;
use crate::gen::demo::{Hello, HelloPrx};
 
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let comm = Communicator{};
    let proxy = comm.string_to_proxy("hello:default -h localhost -p 10000")?;
    let mut hello_prx = HelloPrx::checked_cast(proxy)?;
 
    hello_prx.say_hello()
}
