ROS2

Follow the instructions on the Releases page

1. stand up the ed_node instance via the launch file:

   ros2 launch eventdispatch_ros2 example1.launch events_module_path:=/home/charlieyan1/Dev/jim/eventdispatch/ros2 node_name:=example1
   

2. then trigger the example1 ed_node instance via a ROSEvent:

   ros2 topic pub --once /example1/dispatch eventdispatch_ros2_interfaces/msg/ROSEvent "{string_array: ['WorkItemEvent'], int_array: [1]}"
   

3. you can also trigger a service call:

   ros2 service call /example1/dispatch eventdispatch_ros2_interfaces/srv/ROSEvent "{string_array: ['WorkItemEvent'], int_array: [1]}"
   

Issues/Contributing

I do not expect the core module to be volatile much since the mechanism is very straightforward.

Any volatility can arguably be captured in Event or EventDispatch child classes.

Though it may be archived, I do actively maintain this repo. Please open an issue or file a fork+PR if you have any bugs/bugfixes/features!
