Convert Hashmap<String, u64> to MessageItem about dbus-rs HOT 8 CLOSED

You probably want to send this argument as a dict? Something like this:

let d = dbus::arg::Dict::new(total_published_count.iter());
let m3 = m3.append1(d);

from dbus-rs.

Oh Thanks. Can I add a dict signal example to examples? Also Is there a way to create a tree using XMLs and then register it ? Code might look cleaner that way.

Sure you can! Contributions are welcome.

Do you mean introspection XML?

Either way, I believe the answer is "no". I have had thoughts about it (see issue #53 e g) but it's not there yet.

Btw, if you have a good example of how you wish your code to look like? I could use some inspiration.

Oh, and I just implemented some traits on HashMap so in the next release of dbus-rs you should be able to do just

let m3 = m3.append1(map);

from dbus-rs.

@diwic Oh this is cool. Thanks.

I remember seeing something like this in go dbus. I'll try to find an example

from dbus-rs.

go dbus is doing this

from dbus-rs.

Ok, thanks for the example. Always good to know how other languages do it.

Btw, there is the dbus-macros crate, which is written by someone else, but anyhow an inspiration. Maybe it's helpful to you?
