Tutorial 4: Add Traditional Bridge Library Code

Having added a Traditional Bridge project to your Harmony Core solution, the next step is to add the Traditional Bridge library code to the new project. This library code is a collection of pre-written helper code that is provided by Harmony Core to help you deal with JSON data, receive, parse, construct and send JSON-RPC messages, and more.

As you work through this tutorial you will be adding various types of code into the TraditionalBridge project, so it's a good idea to use folders to segregate the different types of code.

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the TraditionalBridge project, select New Folder, and name the folder Bridge.

We're going to use the Harmony Core Upgrade Tool to provide the Traditional Bridge library code into our new project, but we need to give it a hint where we want it to put the code by creating a source file that it is coded to look for.

2. Right-click on the new Bridge folder, select Add > Class..., name the class RoutineDispatcher.dbl, and click the Add button to add the new file.

Now you can use the project upgrade tool, which will do three things:

• Check all of your projects and make sure that you are using the latest released version of Harmony Core, and appropriate versions of all dependencies.
• Provide updated versions of all CodeGen templates.
• Add the Traditional Bridge library code into your new Bridge folder.

3. Use Tools > Command Prompt (x64) to open a command prompt window.

4. Move up one level to your main solution directory.
