Macrina

Saint Macrina, patron of Robotics, ora pro nobis

UNDER CONSTRUCTION! It's still a rough draft that I'm ripping to shreds constantly. LMK if you'd like this to change

• CoAP binary request encoding and decoding (RFC 7253.3)
• Endpoint
  • can receive and decode messages
  • started with arbitrary handler function for processing messages

Overview

Macrina.Endpoint

A thin GenServer wrapper around :gen_udp. Given an IP and port, any incoming UDP packets at that port will be sent to the Endpoint. This is done via GenServer's built-in handle_info functionality.

Macrina.Connection.Server

A GenServer that represents a connection from the local Endpoint that started it to some other Endpoint. Given an IP, port, and Handler module, this process serves two important functions:

• general message handling
  • receiving {:coap, binary()} messages
  • decoding those messages
  • using the given Handler module to process the message and generate any CoAP responses
  • sending those responses via :gen_udp
• client message handling
  • the included Macrina.Client uses this process to send requests
  • clients use a GenServer.call to do this, which returns the response from the requested endpoint or times out

Macrina.Message

Used for encoding and decoding CoAP messages, defining a struct for in memory representation
