# OSCMessage An OSCMessage is an address followed by any number of data. Messages can have mixed data types like an integer followed by a string followed by a float, etc. ## Constructor OSCMessages can be constructed with or without an address. ### `OSCMessage(const char *)` Set the address of the message in the constructor ```C++ OSCMessage msg("/address"); ``` ### `OSCMessage()` An OSCMessage constructed without an address is not valid until it is given an address. ## Add/Set Data ### `OSCMessage& add(int i)` Append an integer to the OSCMessage. ```C++ msg.add(1); ``` ### `OSCMessage& add(float f)` Append a float to the OSCMessage. ### `OSCMessage& add(bool b)` Append a boolean to the OSCMessage. ### `OSCMessage& add(const char * str)` Append a string to the OSCMessage. ```C++ msg.add("hello"); ``` ### `OSCMessage& add(uint8_t * blob, int length)` Append a [blob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_large_object) to the OSCMessage. Pass in the length of the blob as the second argument. ### `OSCMessage& set(int position, Type data)` Replace the data at the given position with the data. `Type` can be any of the supported data types. ```C++ //replace the data at the 0th position with a string msg.set(0, "string"); ``` ### `OSCMessage& set(int position, uint8_t * data, int length)` Set the data at the given position to be a blob of the given length. ### `OSCMessage& add(double d)` Append a double precision floating point value to the OSCMessage. NOTE: double is not supported on most Arduino platforms. It will fall back to float, when double is not supported. ## Get Data ### `int getInt(int position)` Returns the integer at the given position ```C++ //returns the integer at the third position msg.getInt(2); ``` ### `float getFloat(int position)` Returns the float at the given position ### `bool getBoolean(int position)` Returns the boolean at the given position ### `double getDouble(int position)` Returns the double at the given position. NOTE: double is not supported by most Arduino platforms. This will fail silently if double is not supported. ### `int getString(int position, char * str, int length)` Copy `length` number of characters from the given position into the `str` buffer. Returns the number of copied characters. ```C++ char str[8]; //fill str with 8 characters from the 0th datum msg.getString(0, str, 8); ``` ### `int getBlob(int position, uint8_t * blob, int length)` Copy `length` number of bytes from the given position into the `blob` buffer. Returns the number of copied bytes. ### `char getType(int position)` Returns the type of the data at the given position. ```C++ OSCMessage msg("/address"); msg.add(1); msg.getType(0); //-> returns 'i' ``` ## Query Data ### `bool isInt(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is an integer. ### `bool isFloat(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is a float. ### `bool isBoolean(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is a boolean. ### `bool isString(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is a string. ### `bool isBlob(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is a blob. ### `bool isDouble(int position)` Returns `true` when the data at the given position is a double. ### `int size()` Returns the number of data the OSCMessage has. ### `int bytes()` Returns the size of the OSCMessage in bytes (if everything is 32-bit aligned). ## Address ### `OSCMessage& setAddress(const char * address)` Set the address of the OSCMessage. ### `OSCMessage& getAddress(char * str, int offset=0)` Copy the address of the OSCMessage into the `str` buffer. Copy after the given address offset (defaults to 0). ## Send Receive ### `OSCMessage& send(Print &p)` Output the message to the given transport layer which extends Arduino's [Print class](http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Printclass) like the `Serial` out. ```C++ msg.send(SLIPSerial); ``` ### `OSCMessage& fill(uint8_t incomingByte)` Add the incoming byte to the OSCMessage where it will be decoded. ### `OSCMessage& fill(uint8_t * bytes, int length)` Add and decode the array of bytes as an OSCMessage. ## Matching / Routing ### `bool fullMatch( const char * pattern, int offset = 0)` Returns true if the message's address is a full match to the given pattern after the offset. ```C++ OSCMessage msg("/a/0"); msg.fullMatch("/0", 2); // ->returns true ``` ### `int match( const char * pattern, int offset = 0)` Returns the number of matched characters of the message's address against the given pattern (optionally with an offset). Unlike `fullMatch`, `match` allows for partial matches ```C++ OSCMessage msg("/a/0"); msg.match("/a"); // ->returns 2 ``` ### `bool dispatch(const char * pattern, void (*callback)(OSCMessage &), int offset = 0)` Invoke the given callback if the address if a full match with the pattern (after the offset). The message is passed into the callback function. Returns true if the pattern was a match and the callback function was invoked. ### `bool route(const char * pattern, void (*callback)(OSCMessage &, int), int offset = 0)` Invoke the given callback if the address if a match with the pattern (after the offset). The OSCMessage and the address offset is passed into the callback function. Returns true if the pattern was a match and the callback function was invoked. ```C++ //define a callback function for matching messages void routeCallback(OSCMessage & message, int addressOffset){ //do something with the message... //with the message below, the addressOffset will equal 2. } OSCMessage msg("/a/0"); msg.route("/a", routeCallback); ``` ## Address Patterns OSCMessages can be constructed with patterns and later routed or dispatched against addresses. ```C++ OSCMessage msg("/{a,b}/[0-9]"); msg.route("/a/0", a0_callback); //matches the address msg.route("/b/2", b2_callback); //matches the address msg.route("/c/11", c11_callback); //not invoked ``` # OSCBundle A bundle is a group of OSCMessages with a timetag. ## Constructor ### `OSCBundle()` Construct an empty OSCBundle. ### `OSCBundle(osctime_t = zerotime)` Construct the bundle with a timetag. timetag defaults to 0 (immediate). ## Add OSCMessage ### `OSCMessage & add(char * address)` Create a new message with the given address in the bundle. Returns the newly created OSCMessage. ```C++ //create a new OSCMessage and add some data to it bundle.add("/message").add("data"); ``` ## Get OSCMessage ### `OSCMessage * getOSCMessage(int position)` Return the OSCMessage in the bundle at the given position. ```C++ OSCBundle bundle bundle.add("/a"); bundle.add("/b"); bundle.getOSCMessage(0);//returns the OSCMessage with the address "/a". ``` ### `OSCMessage * getOSCMessage(char * address)` Return the OSCMessage in the bundle which matches the given address. ```C++ OSCBundle bundle bundle.add("/a"); bundle.add("/b"); bundle.getOSCMessage("/b");//returns the second OSCMessage in the bundle ``` ## Routing ### `bool dispatch(const char * pattern, void (*callback)(OSCMessage&), int offset = 0)` Invoke the callback function with all messages in the bundle which match the given pattern after the offset. ```C++ bundle.add("/a/0"); bundle.add("/b/0"); bundle.dispatch("/0", dispatchZero, 2); ``` ### `bool route(const char * pattern, void (*callback)(OSCMessage &, int), int offset = 0)` Invoke the callback with all the OSCMessages in the bundle which match the given pattern. `route` allows for partial matches. ## Send/Receive ### `OSCBundle& send(Print &p)` Output the bundle to the given transport layer which extends Arduino's [Print class](http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Printclass) (such as `SLIPSerial` out). ```C++ bundle.send(SLIPSerial); ``` ### `OSCBundle& fill(uint8_t incomingByte)` Add the incoming byte to the OSCBundle where it will be decoded. ### `OSCBundle& fill(uint8_t * bytes, int length)` Add and decode the array of bytes as an OSCBundle. # Chaining Many methods return `this` which enables you to string together multiple commands. This technique allows multiple lines to be condensed into one: ```C++ bundle.add("/address").add("data").add(0).send(SLIPSerial).empty(); ```
