# dawnet-client

The `DAWNet client` is a python3 pip package.  It is used to create `DAWNet remotes`.  Remotes are scripts created with the python client.  The client allows a user to register remote functions with the DAWNet discovery server. After a function has been registered it can then be triggered remotely from `DAWNet plugin.

::: warning
NOTE: The plugin is in an active, pre-alpha state.  It has only been tested on Ableton 11 on MAC M1.

## Installation

```python
pip install dawnet-client
```

## Usage

This is a simple example of a DAWNet remote script created using the dawnet-client.  The script defines an arbitrary function that takes two arguments, an integer and a DAWNetFilePath.  The function is registered with the DAWNet discovery server.  The script then connects to the DAWNet discovery server and waits for a remote trigger.

```python
from dawnet_client import DAWNetFilePath, dawnet_client

# The token is generated by the DAWNet plugin.  
# It is used by the discovery server to associate the remote with the plugin.
TOKEN="0715c132-0b31-406e-b562-9206c479a48a" 

# The registered method can be named anything. Note that the method must be `async`.  
# All parameters must be type hinted.  
# 4 parameter types are supported: int, float, str, DAWNetFilePath
# DAWNetFilePath is a special type. When the file is sent to the remote, it is intercepted by the system and 
# transported to a temp dir on the remote.  In this case the variable `b` is local path to the file.
async def arbitrary_method(a: int, b: DAWNetFilePath):
    try: 
        # -----------------------------------------
        # This is where you can write custom code to operate on the input params.
        # ex param `a` could be the number of variations created from param `b` using something like MusicLM
        # -----------------------------------------
        
        # This is how you send results back to the plugin, when processing is complete.
        await dawnet_client.results().add_file(b, "wav") 
        # This message is displayed in the plugin.
        await dawnet_client.results().add_message("This is a message XYZ")
        # The send method begins the transfer of results data back to the plugin.
        await dawnet_client.results().send()

        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error in arbitrary_method: {e}")
        return f"Method encountered an error: {e}"


# The token generated by the plugin. 
dawnet_client.set_token(token=TOKEN)
# The name of the remote.  This is displayed in the plugin.
dawnet_client.set_name("My Remote Code")
# The description of the remote.  This is displayed in the plugin.
dawnet_client.set_description("This is not a real description.")
# Register the method with the discovery server.
dawnet_client.register_method("arbitrary_method", arbitrary_method) 
 
# This should be the last line of the script.  It connects to the discovery server and waits for a remote trigger.
dawnet_client.connect_to_server()
```
