mikrotik-rs 📟

This Rust library provides an asynchronous interface to interact with the Mikrotik API.

Features 🌟

• No Unsafe Code 💥: Built entirely in safe Rust 🦀
• Zero-copy Parsing: Avoid unnecessary memory allocations by parsing the API responses in-place.
• Concurrent Commands 🚦: Supports running multiple Mikrotik commands concurrently, with each command and its response managed via dedicated channels.
• Error Handling ⚠️: Designed with error handling in mind, ensuring that network or parsing errors are gracefully handled and reported back to the caller.

Getting Started 🚀

To use this library in your project, run the following command in your project's directory:

cargo add mikrotik-rs

Alternatively, you can add the library to your Cargo.toml file manually:

[dependencies]
mikrotik-rs = "0.3.3"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Ensure you have Tokio set up in your project as the library relies on the Tokio runtime.

Basic Usage 📖

use mikrotik_rs::{command::CommandBuilder, MikrotikDevice};
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize the MikrotikClient 🤖 with the router's address and access credentials
    let device = MikrotikDevice::connect("192.168.122.144:8728", "admin", Some("admin")).await?;

    // Execute a command 📝
    let system_resource_cmd = CommandBuilder::new()
        .command("/system/resource/print")
        // Send the update response every 1 second
        .attribute("interval", Some("1"))
        .build();

    // Send the command to the device 📡
    // Returns a channel to listen for the command's response(s)
    let response_channel = device.send_command(system_resource_cmd).await;

    // Listen for the command's response 🔊
    while let Some(res) = response_channel.recv().await {
        println!(">> Get System Res Response {:?}", res);
    }

    Ok(())
}
