SDK Instance

The top-level Switchboard object serves as the primary interface for interacting with the SDK instance. It provides access to various methods and properties that allow developers to configure, initialize, and manage the SDK's functionality. This object acts as the central point for the highest-level operations related to the Switchboard SDK.

Initializing the SDK​

To initialize the Switchboard SDK, call the Switchboard.initialize method and pass in a configuration map. The configuration map should include the parameters described in the Configuration section below.

The method returns the object ID of the SDK instance, which can be used in subsequent calls. Note that only one instance of the SDK can exist at a time.

Config sdkConfig({
    { "appID", "demo" },
    { "appSecret", "demo" }
});
const Result<ObjectID> result = Switchboard::initialize(sdkConfig);

Deinitializing the SDK​

To deinitialize the Switchboard SDK, call the Switchboard.deinitialize method. This will clean up all resources associated with the SDK, and any objects created by the SDK will be destroyed. It is important to ensure that the SDK is deinitialized when it is no longer needed to avoid resource leaks.

const Result<void> result = Switchboard::deinitialize();
