RFC to add new declaration : variable(char *, char *) about arest HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello Charles,

Thanks for reaching out! Happy to hear that you enjoy using my library.

I think I got what you want to do here, basically use an element of the
linked list as a variable right? I think it would be more like:

rest.variable(me->name, me->value, "element");

As you always need to give a name to the variable you are using. Can you
tell me which library you are using for linked lists? I will check if it
doesn't raise the memory footprint of the library too much.

Cheers,
Marco Schwartz

Marco,
just started to play with your lib today on a ESP8266, I love it :-)

I'm also using another lib, in this lib I've got a linked list of data.
Each linked list entry contains a pointer to a variable name and another to
variable value (+ another on next item entry if any). both are char *
Would it be possible to have the option to create variable(char *, char *)
? To be able as a stupid example to do something like that :

MyLinkedList * me = Entry;
rest.variable(me->name, me->value);

I could have done it, but I'm very old school, and I like to know exactly
what my code is doing. And to be honest, String class always provided so
much pain (mainly because I'm far away for expert in C++) that when I can
avoid them I do. All my var affectation and management is done in the other
lib, I just need to pass to rest the pointer to the pair of name/values.

Hope this makes sense

Charles

Marco,
You got it, and we're lucky, because on my linked list, the me->name element is already the variable name I want to expose, so it's fine. My problem is on the 2nd element which in my case is a char * instead of a string.

The library I'm using is a custom one I created (and currently working on), I will push it on github soon (need to check compilation is fine with other targets), lot of stuff to do.

By the way, I modified your lib to allow char *, as 2nd param, seems to work fine but I will be more confortable if you want to check what I done because you know your lib far better than me. I used new command code 'c' 'seems it was not used. Once I will validate I will do a push request, I've just forked your repo ;-)
Talk to you soon
Cheers,
