Detailed Description

roscpp's interface for creating subscribers, publishers, etc.

This class is used for writing nodes. It provides a RAII interface to this process' node, in that when the first NodeHandle is created, it instantiates everything necessary for this node, and when the last NodeHandle goes out of scope it shuts down the node.

NodeHandle uses reference counting internally, and copying a NodeHandle is very lightweight.

You must call one of the ros::init functions prior to instantiating this class.

The most widely used methods are:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NodeHandle() [1/4]

ros::NodeHandle::NodeHandle ( const std::string &  ns = std::string(),
const M_string remappings = M_string() 
)

Constructor.

When a NodeHandle is constructed, it checks to see if the global node state has already been started. If so, it increments a global reference count. If not, it starts the node with ros::start() and sets the reference count to 1.

Parameters
nsNamespace for this NodeHandle. This acts in addition to any namespace assigned to this ROS node. eg. If the node's namespace is "/a" and the namespace passed in here is "b", all topics/services/parameters will be prefixed with "/a/b/"
remappingsRemappings for this NodeHandle.
Exceptions
InvalidNameExceptionif the namespace is not a valid graph resource name

Definition at line 77 of file node_handle.cpp.

◆ NodeHandle() [2/4]

ros::NodeHandle::NodeHandle ( const NodeHandle rhs)

Copy constructor.

When a NodeHandle is copied, it inherits the namespace of the NodeHandle being copied, and increments the reference count of the global node state by 1.

Definition at line 119 of file node_handle.cpp.

◆ NodeHandle() [3/4]

ros::NodeHandle::NodeHandle ( const NodeHandle parent,
const std::string &  ns 
)

Parent constructor.

This version of the constructor takes a "parent" NodeHandle. If the passed "ns" is relative (does not start with a slash), it is equivalent to calling:

NodeHandle child(parent.getNamespace() + "/" + ns);

If the passed "ns" is absolute (does start with a slash), it is equivalent to calling:

NodeHandle child(ns);

When a NodeHandle is copied, it inherits the namespace of the NodeHandle being copied, and increments the reference count of the global node state by 1.

Exceptions
InvalidNameExceptionif the namespace is not a valid graph resource name

Definition at line 93 of file node_handle.cpp.

◆ NodeHandle() [4/4]

ros::NodeHandle::NodeHandle ( const NodeHandle parent,
const std::string &  ns,
const M_string remappings 
)

Parent constructor.

This version of the constructor takes a "parent" NodeHandle. If the passed "ns" is relative (does not start with a slash), it is equivalent to calling:

NodeHandle child(parent.getNamespace() + "/" + ns, remappings);

If the passed "ns" is absolute (does start with a slash), it is equivalent to calling:

NodeHandle child(ns, remappings);

This version also lets you pass in name remappings that are specific to this NodeHandle

When a NodeHandle is copied, it inherits the namespace of the NodeHandle being copied, and increments the reference count of the global node state by 1.

Exceptions
InvalidNameExceptionif the namespace is not a valid graph resource name

Definition at line 105 of file node_handle.cpp.

◆ ~NodeHandle()

ros::NodeHandle::~NodeHandle ( )

Destructor.

When a NodeHandle is destroyed, it decrements a global reference count by 1, and if the reference count is now 0, shuts down the node.

Definition at line 131 of file node_handle.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ advertise() [1/3]

Publisher ros::NodeHandle::advertise ( AdvertiseOptions ops)
 \brief Advertise a topic, with full range of AdvertiseOptions

 This call connects to the master to publicize that the node will be
 publishing messages on the given topic.  This method returns a Publisher that allows you to
 publish a message on this topic.

 This is an advanced version advertise() that exposes all options (through the AdvertiseOptions structure)

 \param ops Advertise options to use
 \return On success, a Publisher that, when it goes out of scope, will automatically release a reference
 on this advertisement.  On failure, an empty Publisher which can be checked with:
ros::NodeHandle nodeHandle;
ros::AdvertiseOptions ops;
...
ros::publisher pub = nodeHandle.advertise(ops);
if (pub)  // Enter if publisher is valid
{
...
}
 \throws InvalidNameException If the topic name begins with a tilde, or is an otherwise invalid graph resource name

Definition at line 289 of file node_handle.cpp.

◆ advertise() [2/3]

template<class M >
Publisher ros::NodeHandle::advertise ( const std::string &  topic,
uint32_t  queue_size,
bool  latch = false 
)
inline

Advertise a topic, simple version.

This call connects to the master to publicize that the node will be publishing messages on the given topic. This method returns a Publisher that allows you to publish a message on this topic.

This version of advertise is a templated convenience function, and can be used like so

ros::Publisher pub = handle.advertise<std_msgs::Empty>("my_topic", 1);

Parameters
topicTopic to advertise on
queue_sizeMaximum number of outgoing messages to be queued for delivery to subscribers
latch(optional) If true, the last message published on this topic will be saved and sent to new subscribers when they connect
Returns
On success, a Publisher that, when it goes out of scope, will automatically release a reference on this advertisement. On failure, an empty Publisher.
Exceptions
InvalidNameExceptionIf the topic name begins with a tilde, or is an otherwise invalid graph resource name, or is an otherwise invalid graph resource name

Definition at line 247 of file node_handle.h.

◆ advertise() [3/3]

template<class M >
Publisher ros::NodeHandle::advertise ( const std::string &  topic,
uint32_t  queue_size,
const SubscriberStatusCallback connect_cb,
const SubscriberStatusCallback disconnect_cb = SubscriberStatusCallback(),
const VoidConstPtr tracked_object = VoidConstPtr(),
bool  latch = false 
)
inline
   \brief Advertise a topic, with most of the available options, including subscriber status callbacks

   This call connects to the master to publicize that the node will be
   publishing messages on the given topic.  This method returns a Publisher that allows you to
   publish a message on this topic.

   This version of advertise allows you to pass functions to be called when new subscribers connect and
   disconnect.  With bare functions it can be used like so:
 \verbatim
 void connectCallback(const ros::SingleSubscriberPublisher& pub)
 {
 // Do something
 }

 handle.advertise<std_msgs::Empty>("my_topic", 1, (ros::SubscriberStatusCallback)connectCallback);

With class member functions it can be used with boost::bind:

 void MyClass::connectCallback(const ros::SingleSubscriberPublisher& pub)
 {
 // Do something
 }

 MyClass my_class;
 ros::Publisher pub = handle.advertise<std_msgs::Empty>("my_topic", 1, 
                                                        boost::bind(&MyClass::connectCallback, my_class, boost::placeholders::_1));
Parameters
topicTopic to advertise on
queue_sizeMaximum number of outgoing messages to be queued for delivery to subscribers
connect_cbFunction to call when a subscriber connects
disconnect_cb(optional) Function to call when a subscriber disconnects
tracked_object(optional) A shared pointer to an object to track for these callbacks. If set, the a weak_ptr will be created to this object, and if the reference count goes to 0 the subscriber callbacks will not get called. Note that setting this will cause a new reference to be added to the object before the callback, and for it to go out of scope (and potentially be deleted) in the code path (and therefore thread) that the callback is invoked from.
latch(optional) If true, the last message published on this topic will be saved and sent to new subscribers when they connect
Returns
On success, a Publisher that, when it goes out of scope, will automatically release a reference on this advertisement. On failure, an empty Publisher which can be checked with:
ros::NodeHandle nodeHandle;
ros::publisher pub = nodeHandle.advertise<std_msgs::Empty>("my_topic", 1, (ros::SubscriberStatusCallback)callback);
if (pub)  // Enter if publisher is valid
{
...
}
Exceptions
InvalidNameExceptionIf the topic name begins with a tilde, or is an otherwise invalid graph resource name

Definition at line 313 of file node_handle.h.

◆ advertiseService() [1/9]

ServiceServer ros::NodeHandle::advertiseService ( AdvertiseServiceOptions ops)
 \brief Advertise a service, with full range of AdvertiseServiceOptions

 This call connects to the master to publicize that the node will be
 offering an RPC service with the given name.

 This version of advertiseService allows the full set of options, exposed through the AdvertiseServiceOptions class

 \param ops Advertise options
 \return On success, a ServiceServer that, when all copies of it go out of scope, will unadvertise this service.
 On failure, an empty ServiceServer which can be checked with:
AdvertiseServiceOptions ops;
...
ros::NodeHandle nodeHandle;
ros::ServiceServer service = nodeHandle.advertiseService(ops);
if (service)  // Enter if advertised service is valid
{
...
}
