Platform Tutorial

For connecting our program to the Cloud Platform we have to specify a few parameters to the callable object.

For this purpose, the platform variable has been created. It is composed of the following parameters:

• address: It is the IP or domain name where the platform is allocated. demo.noos.cloud is the domain name of the Noos Cloud Platform.
• port: It is the port of the platform. 9001 is the open port for the Noos Cloud Platform
• token: It is the password that you obtained when you sign up to Noos Cloud
• user: It is the user that you obtained when you sign up to Noos Cloud

IMPORTANT In order to access the platform you need to sign up here and in your profile you will find the user and the token data that you need to connect to the platform.

In order to fill the platform object with the data, there are 2 ways:

• Initialize directly in the code

    noos::cloud::platform your_platform = {"demo.noos.cloud", "9001", "your_password", "your_username"};

• Load a file with the data in a JSON format

file .json

{
    "platform" : { "address" : "demo.noos.cloud",
                   "port" : "9001",
                   "token" : "my_password",
                   "user" : "my_user"
                 }
}

And in the code, you just have to call the following method:

	noos::cloud::platform your_platform;
	your_platform()("path/my_file.json");

In the examples you can find a variable called default_node. This is a platform object used for tests and it is limited. You have to create your own platform object.
