๐ŸŽฏ Use Cases

๐Ÿ’ผ Local Network Messaging

Perfect for office, home, or industrial environments where devices communicate over local networks without internet dependency.

use std::sync::Arc;
use xlink::channels::lan::LanChannel;
use xlink::xLink;

let lan_channel: Arc<dyn xlink::core::traits::Channel> = Arc::new(LanChannel::new());
let sdk = xLink::new(capabilities, vec![lan_channel]).await?;
sdk.start().await?;
๐Ÿ“ฑ Mesh Network Communication

Ideal for ad-hoc networks, IoT deployments, and scenarios where devices form peer-to-peer mesh networks.

use std::sync::Arc;
use xlink::channels::mesh::MeshChannel;

let mesh_channel: Arc<dyn xlink::core::traits::Channel> = Arc::new(MeshChannel::new());
let sdk = xLink::new(capabilities, vec![mesh_channel]).await?;
๐Ÿ”’ Secure Group Chat

Enterprise-grade encrypted group messaging with TreeKem forward secrecy and efficient broadcast.

use xlink::core::types::{DeviceId, MessagePayload};

let group_manager = sdk.group_manager();
group_manager.create_group(vec![alice_id, bob_id]).await?;
group_manager.broadcast_message(group_id, payload).await?;
๐Ÿ“น Large File Transfer

Automatic stream handling for large files and video streams with chunking and reassembly.

use xlink::core::types::MessagePayload;

let large_data = std::fs::read("large_file.mp4")?;
sdk.send(recipient, MessagePayload::Binary(large_data)).await?;
// Automatically uses stream transmission for data > 32KB

Basic Usage

๐ŸŽฌ 5-Minute Quick Start

Step 1: Define Device Capabilities

use xlink::core::types::{
    ChannelType, DeviceCapabilities, DeviceId, DeviceType,
};
use std::collections::HashSet;

let device_id = DeviceId::new();
let capabilities = DeviceCapabilities {
    device_id,
    device_type: DeviceType::Smartphone,
    device_name: "My Phone".to_string(),
    supported_channels: HashSet::from([
        ChannelType::Lan,
        ChannelType::BluetoothLE,
    ]),
    battery_level: Some(80),
    is_charging: false,
    data_cost_sensitive: false,
};

Step 2: Create SDK Instance

use xlink::xLink;
use xlink::channels::memory::MemoryChannel;

let channel = Arc::new(MemoryChannel::new(handler, 50));
let sdk = xLink::new(capabilities, vec![channel]).await?;
sdk.start().await?;
๐Ÿ“– Complete Example
use std::collections::HashSet;
use std::sync::Arc;
use xlink::channels::memory::MemoryChannel;
use xlink::core::types::{
    ChannelType, DeviceCapabilities, DeviceId, DeviceType, MessagePayload,
};
use xlink::xLink;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let alice_id = DeviceId::new();
    let alice_caps = DeviceCapabilities {
        device_id: alice_id,
        device_type: DeviceType::Smartphone,
        device_name: "Alice Phone".to_string(),
        supported_channels: HashSet::from([ChannelType::Lan]),
        battery_level: Some(80),
        is_charging: false,
        data_cost_sensitive: false,
    };

    let channel = Arc::new(MemoryChannel::new(handler, 50));
    let sdk = xLink::new(alice_caps, vec![channel]).await?;
    sdk.start().await?;

    // Send a message
    let bob_id = DeviceId::new();
    sdk.send(bob_id, MessagePayload::Text("Hello!".to_string())).await?;

    sdk.stop().await;
    Ok(())
}

Secure group messaging with multiple participants.

File: examples/group_chat.rs

use xlink::group::manager::GroupManager;

let group_manager = sdk.group_manager();
let group_id = group_manager.create_group(members).await?;
group_manager.broadcast_message(group_id, payload).await?;

๐Ÿ”„ Example 3: Channel Switching

Dynamic channel management and switching.

File: examples/channel_switching.rs

use xlink::channels::wifi::WifiChannel;
use xlink::channels::bluetooth::BluetoothChannel;

let wifi = Arc::new(WifiChannel::new());
let bluetooth = Arc::new(BluetoothChannel::new());
let sdk = xLink::new(capabilities, vec![wifi, bluetooth]).await?;

๐Ÿ“ก Example 4: Background Discovery

Device discovery in background mode.

File: examples/background_discovery.rs

sdk.start().await?;
// Discovery runs automatically in background
// mDNS and BLE discovery are enabled by default

๐Ÿ“ฑ Example 5: Device Migration

Export and import SDK state for device transfer.

File: examples/device_migration.rs

let state = sdk.export_sdk_state()?;
std::fs::write("backup.dat", &state)?;

// On new device
let data = std::fs::read("backup.dat")?;
sdk.import_sdk_state(&data)?;
