connect
Description:
public static async BookClient connect (Source source, uint32 wait_for_connected_seconds, Cancellable? cancellable) throws Error
Asynchronously creates a new BookClient for source.
The wait_for_connected_seconds argument had been added since 3.16, to let the caller decide how long to wait for the backend to
fully connect to its (possibly remote) data store. This is required due to a change in the authentication process, which is fully asynchronous
and done on the client side, while not every client is supposed to response to authentication requests. In case the backend will not connect
within the set interval, then it is opened in an offline mode. A special value -1 can be used to not wait for the connected state at all.
Unlike with BookClient, there is no need to call open after obtaining the BookClient.
When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call connect.end to get
the result of the operation.
Parameters:
| source |
an Source |
| wait_for_connected_seconds |
timeout, in seconds, to wait for the backend to be fully connected |
| cancellable |
optional Cancellable object, or |
| callback |
a TaskReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied |
| user_data |
data to pass to the callback function |
