createNode()

virtual Node * switchboard::NodeFactory::createNode ( const std::string & type, const std::map< std::string, std::any > & config )

pure virtual

Creates an Node instance based on type information.

The returned node instances need to be freed by the user of the NodeFactory.

Parameters

type	The type of the node.
config	Configuration values for the node.

Returns

A pointer to the created Node instance, or nullptr if the node could not be created.

getNodeTypePrefix()

virtual std::string switchboard::NodeFactory::getNodeTypePrefix ( )

pure virtual

Returns the prefix of the node type.

The prefix is used to identify the node type and it follows the format: <extension name>.<node type>.

Returns

The prefix of the node type.

getNodeTypes()

virtual std::vector< std::string > switchboard::NodeFactory::getNodeTypes ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the list of node types that can be created by this factory.

The node types are returned as a vector of strings, where each string is the type name of the node.

Returns

A vector of strings containing the node types.
