Components

Components are NextFTC's approach to making OpModes more modular and customizable. Each component has 10 functions that get run before and after each OpMode function (onInit, onWaitForStart, onStartButtonPressed, onUpdate, and onStop). This means that components are extremely versatile and can be used to accomplish a wide range of functions when they're used in your OpModes.

NextFTC has several built-in components, including:

• BulkReadComponent
• BindingsComponent (for NextBindings)
• PedroComponent (for NextPedro)
• SubsystemComponent
• CommandManager

Creating Components

To create a component, all you must do is implement the Component interface. You need only implement the functions that you use.

class MyComponent : Component {
    override fun preInit() { }
    override fun postInit() { }
    override fun preWaitForStart() { }
    override fun postWaitForStart() { }
    override fun preStartButtonPressed() { }
    override fun postStartButtonPressed() { }
    override fun preUpdate() { }
    override fun postUpdate() { }
    override fun preStop() { }
    override fun postStop() { }
}

Registering Components

To register components in your NextFTCOpMode, simply call the addComponents function in the instance initializer block of your OpMode. For example:

init {
    addComponents(
        MyComponent(),
        BindingComponent()
    )
}

Components' pre- functions are called in the order they're set and post- functions are called in the reverse order.
