##Dependencies

• libuv - Cross platform layer, mainly using Network IO and thread.
• jansson - JSON encode and decode library.

##Usage

###Create a client instance

// create a client instance.
pc_client_t *client = pc_client_new();
  

###Add listeners

  // add some event callback.
  pc_add_listener(client, "onHey", on_hey);
  pc_add_listener(client, PC_EVENT_DISCONNECT, on_close);

###Listener definition

// disconnect event callback.
void on_close(pc_client_t *client, const char *event, void *data) {
  printf("client closed: %d.\n", client->state);
}

###Pomelo defined listeners

#define PC_EVENT_DISCONNECT "disconnect"
#define PC_EVENT_TIMEOUT "timeout"
#define PC_EVENT_KICK "onKick"

###Connect to server

  struct sockaddr_in address;

  memset(&address, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
  address.sin_family = AF_INET;
  address.sin_port = htons(port);
  address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(ip);

  // try to connect to server.
  if(pc_client_connect(client, &address)) {
    printf("fail to connect server.\n");
    pc_client_destroy(client);
    return 1;
  }

###Send a notify

// notified callback
void on_notified(pc_notify_t *req, int status) {
 if(status == -1) {
   printf("Fail to send notify to server.\n");
 } else {
   printf("Notify finished.\n");
 }

 // release resources
 json_t *msg = req->msg;
 json_decref(msg);
 pc_notify_destroy(req);
}

// send a notify
void do_notify(pc_client_t *client) {
 // compose notify.
 const char *route = "connector.helloHandler.hello";
 json_t *msg = json_object();
 json_t *json_str = json_string("hello");
 json_object_set(msg, "msg", json_str);
 // decref json string
 json_decref(json_str);

 pc_notify_t *notify = pc_notify_new();
 pc_notify(client, notify, route, msg, on_notified);
}

###Send a request

// request callback
void on_request_cb(pc_request_t *req, int status, json_t *resp) {
 if(status == -1) {
   printf("Fail to send request to server.\n");
 } else if(status == 0) {
   char *json_str = json_dumps(resp, 0);
   if(json_str != NULL) {
     printf("server response: %s\n", json_str);
     free(json_str);
   }
 }

 // release relative resource with pc_request_t
 json_t *msg = req->msg;
 pc_client_t *client = req->client;
 json_decref(msg);
 pc_request_destroy(req);

 // stop client
 pc_client_stop(client);
}

// send a request
void do_request(pc_client_t *client) {
 // compose request
 const char *route = "connector.helloHandler.hi";
 json_t *msg = json_object();
 json_t *str = json_string("hi~");
 json_object_set(msg, "msg", str);
 // decref for json object
 json_decref(str);

 pc_request_t *request = pc_request_new();
 pc_request(client, request, route, msg, on_request_cb);
}

##Build

###Prerequisite

Install GYP.

###Mac

./pomelo_gyp
xcodebuild -project pomelo.xcodeproj

###IOS

./pomelo_gyp -DTO=ios
./build_ios

###IOS Simulator

./pomelo_gyp -DTO=ios
./build_iossim

###Linux

./pomelo_gyp
make

###Windows in your libpomelo project root directory
open git bash and type in

mkdir -p build
git clone https://github.com/martine/gyp.git build/gyp

then open cmd shell in windows and cd to your libpomelo project root directory
and type in

build\gyp\gyp.bat --depth=. pomelo.gyp -Dlibrary=static_library -DTO=pc 

then open pomelo.sln in visual studio and you can build libpomelo in windows

###Cocos2d-x
####Android
just put libpomelo in ${COCOS2DX-ROOT}/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/prebuild path
then in your cocos2d-x android project's root and type in

./build_native.sh  

it will build libpomelo into a .so file and then you can use it in your android application

###ChatDemo
pomelo-cocos2dchat you can find more information about using libpomelo in different platforms

##Notice

There is a worker thread inside libpomelo to run the libuv loop and handle the IO events. So all the callback functions are fired in the worker thread. And the application should take care the synchronization between the main thread (such as UI thread) and the libpomelo worker thread.
