It is often useful to get an instance of a Flipper plugin to send data to it. Flipper makes this simple with built-in support.
|
|
|
|
Plugins should be treated as singleton instances as there can only be one `FlipperClient` and each `FlipperClient` can only have one instance of a certain plugin. The Flipper API makes this simple by offering a way to get the current client and query it for plugins.
|
|
|
|
Plugins are identified by the string that their identifier method returns, in this example, "MyFlipperPlugin":
|
|
|
|
### Android
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
final FlipperClient client = AndroidFlipperClient.getInstance(context);
|
|
// Client may be null if AndroidFlipperClient.createInstance() was never called
|
|
// which is the case in production builds.
|
|
if (client != null) {
|
|
final MyFlipperPlugin plugin = client.getPlugin("MyFlipperPlugin");
|
|
plugin.sendData(myData);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### iOS
|
|
|
|
```objective-c
|
|
FlipperClient *client = [FlipperClient sharedClient];
|
|
MyFlipperPlugin *myPlugin = [client pluginWithIdentifier:@"MyFlipperPlugin"];
|
|
[myPlugin sendData:myData];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### C++
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
auto &client = FlipperClient::instance();
|
|
|
|
// "MyFlipperPlugin is the return value of MyFlipperPlugin::identifier()
|
|
auto aPlugin = client.getPlugin("MyFlipperPlugin");
|
|
|
|
// aPlugin is a std::shared_ptr<FlipperPlugin>. Downcast to expected type.
|
|
auto myPlugin = std::static_pointer_cast<MyFlipperPlugin>(aPlugin);
|
|
|
|
// Alternatively, use the templated version
|
|
myPlugin = client.getPlugin<MyFlipperPlugin>("MyFlipperPlugin");
|
|
|
|
myPlugin->sendData(myData);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here, `sendData` is an example of a method that might be implemented by the Flipper plugin.
