Good for newcomers
Milestone
As is: we have a monolith
main
function that performs all parsing and creates a simulation.Motivation: if using simln as a library, it would be nice to have a parsing module in
sim-cli/src/parsing.rs
to pull in some of the parsing/validation that main currently performs.Some suggestions for things that we can pull out in a refactor:
Cli
: move into module so that it can be re-used externallyNodeConnection
andActivityParser
)get_clients
: builds the map ofdyn LightningNode
that'll be passed to the simulationvalidate_activities
: performsActivityParser
->ActivityDefinition
conversionread_sim_path
: this is a nice to have frill, might as well make it accessible for other folksThe only thing that's tricky here is that
validate_activities
needs to make calls to ourdyn LightningNode
to validate that pubkeys exist in their graph, so that needs to be threaded through. Ideally this could just be a generic closure that looks up the node, but it gets ugly when you start dealing with async closures (I briefly tried this in the past and gave up).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
