Protocols

This was taken straight from the objc.io book “Advanced Swift.” It’s so damn useful, that I have it made into a standard tool.

The original design was done by Ole Begemann and Chris Eidhof. I have modified it slightly; but not much.

It is fast all git-go.

A type that can efficiently “enqueue” and “dequeue” elements. It works on one element at a time. You cannot dequeue groups of elements.

If you conform to this protocol, you get a few basic Sequence attributes for free.

You’ll need to set up a sequence_contents Array (read/write), and set the Element type, and that’s about all.

This also gives you a read-only subscript.

This cannot be applied to enums, as it requires a stored property.

This is a protocol that describes the basic transport abstraction for our bluetooth device connection. It will be specialized for Classic or BLE.

This protocol is an optional protocol that implements a “state machine,” where an instance can go from “unitialized,” to “initialized.”

This an internal extension to the public protocol

A base protocol for vendors.

This is the base protocol for command interpreters. It defines an Array of String, which is used to match the interpreter with the PID it is applied to.

The sequence conformance allows us to act as a sequence of String

This protocol is for delegates for OBD devices.

This is a specialization for the common ELM327 chipset.

This is a protocol for classes, structs or enums that want to “subscribe” to a device.

This is a “base” subscriber protocol for accessing driver elements.

We require that subscribers be classes, so they will be referenced.

This is the delegate for the driver instance. You should definitely do this.

This represents the public face of a “property,” which maps to a bluetooth “characteristic.”

This protocol allows aggregated instances to report stuff through the main driver, without breaking the fourth wall.
