Overview

AGPipeline represents a ‘collection’ of server connections (aka Pipes). It provides a standard way to communicate with the server no matter the data format or transport expected. It contains some simple management APIs to create and remove Pipe objects.

Creating a Pipeline and a Pipe object

Below is an example that creates a Pipeline to AeroGear TODO server application and adds a Pipe to it, that points to the projects REST endpoint.

NSString* baseURL = @"http://todo-aerogear.rhcloud.com/todo-server/";

// create the 'todo' pipeline, which points to the baseURL of the REST application
AGPipeline* todo = [AGPipeline pipelineWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:baseURL]];

// Add a REST pipe for the 'projects' endpoint
id<AGPipe> projects = [todo pipe:^(id<AGPipeConfig> config) {
    [config setName:@"projects"];
    [config setType:@"REST"]; // this is the default, can be emitted
}];
