IoRouter

public class IoRouter : Controller

Base IO router class for context-driven routing of IO values.

This router implements the base logic of routing. It observes IO nodes that are associated with the router’s IO context and manages routes for the IO sources and actors of these nodes.

This router implements a basic routing algorithm where all compatible pairs of IO sources and IO actors are associated. An IO source and an IO actor are compatible if both define equal value types in equal data formats. You can define your own custom compatibility check on value types in a subclass by overriding the areValueTypesCompatible method.

To implement context-specific routing strategies extend this class and implement the methods marked with the fatal error: “This method must be overridden”

Note that this router makes its IO context available for discovery (by core type, object type, or object Id) and listens for Update-Complete events on its IO context, triggering onIoContextChanged automatically.

This base router class requires the following controller options:

  • ioContext: the IO context for which this router is managing routes (mandatory) Otherwise a fatalError is thrown

Overridden Controller lifecycle methods.
