C++ Client

This page covers using the kRPC C++ client with the KSA service.

Installing

Install the kRPC C++ client 0.7.0, for example from vcpkg:

vcpkg install krpc

Add cpp/include from the stubs folder of the release archive to the include path.

Using the KSA Service

The service is krpc::services::KSA:

#include <iostream>
#include <krpc.hpp>
#include <krpc/services/ksa.hpp>

krpc::Client conn = krpc::connect("Example");
krpc::services::KSA ksa(&conn);
std::cout << ksa.active_vehicle()->name() << std::endl;

A member that can return nothing, such as Part.Engine, returns a std::optional:

for (auto part : ksa.active_vehicle()->parts())
  if (auto engine = part.engine())
    std::cout << engine->thrust() << std::endl;

The kRPC C++ client guide covers connecting, streams, events and the client’s other features.
