Roverlib
The roverlib is an abstract notion of a library that is used by a service to interface with official ASE tooling for various tasks, such as logging, tuning and communication over streams.
Concrete instances of the roverlib are created and published for specific programming languages. When we talk about a/the roverlib this includes the specific implementations for all languages. All roverlib implementations operate on the injected bootspec of a service's runtime.
Installation
The recommended approach to using any roverlib is to set up your service using roverctl.
- Go
- Python
- C
- C++
roverctl service init go --name go-example --source github.com/author/go-example
Alternatively, you can integrate the library using go get. Read how to do so here.
roverctl service init python --name python-example --source github.com/py-example
Alternatively, you can integrate the library using pip. Read how to do so here.
roverctl service init c --name c-example --source github.com/author/c-example
Alternatively, you can integrate the library by downloading its source code. Read how to do so here.
roverctl service init cpp --name cpp-example --source github.com/author/cpp-example
Alternatively, you can integrate the library by downloading its source code. Read how to do so here.
Usage
We recommend exploring how the roverlib works by viewing our service template for your language of choice. These services work out of the box on the Rover and can be run right away. They will familiarize you with the basic API that all roverlibs provide: accessing service identity, reading from other services, writing to other services and using tuning values.
Each roverlib implementations and template follow the same source code and file structure, so you can quickly switch between languages.
