# ESP Library Utils

## Overview

`esp-lib-utils` is a library designed to offer utility functions for other libraries, including the following features:

- Supports a variety of utility functions, such as `logging`, `checking`, and `memory` functions.
- Supports flexible static configuration, such as setting log levels, enabling/disabling checks, using custom memory allocation functions, and more.
- Compatible with the `Arduino`, `ESP-IDF` and `MicroPython` for compilation.

## How to Use

### ESP-IDF Framework

#### Dependencies and Versions

|                 **Dependency**                  | **Version** |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [esp-idf](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) | >= 5.1      |

#### Adding to Project

`esp-lib-utils` has been uploaded to the [Espressif Component Registry](https://components.espressif.com/), and users can add it to their project using the `idf.py add-dependency` command, for example:

```bash
idf.py add-dependency "espressif/esp-lib-utils"
```

Alternatively, users can create or modify the *idf_component.yml* file in the project directory. For more details, please refer to the [Espressif Documentation - IDF Component Manager](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/tools/idf-component-manager.html).

#### Configuration Instructions

When developing with esp-idf, users can configure `esp-lib-utils` through the menuconfig:

1. Run the command `idf.py menuconfig`.
2. Navigate to `Component config` > `ESP Library Utils Configurations`.

> [!NOTE]
> To support `try-catch` when using `esp_utils::make_shared()` in C++, users need to enable the `COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS` configuration in the menuconfig.

### Arduino IDE

#### Dependencies and Versions

|                       **Dependency**                        | **Version** |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [arduino-esp32](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32) | >= v3.0.0   |

#### Installing the Library

For installation of the `esp-lib-utils` library, refer to [How to Install esp-lib-utils in Arduino IDE](#how-to-install-esp-lib-utils-in-arduino-ide).

#### Configuration Instructions

Below are detailed instructions on how to configure `esp-lib-utils`. They are optional operations and are configured through the [esp_utils_conf.h](../esp_utils_conf.h) file with the following characteristics:

1. The path sequence to search for the *esp_utils_conf.h* file is: `Current Project Directory` > `Arduino Library Directory` > `esp-lib-utils Directory`.
3. **If a project needs to use a separate configuration**, users can copy it from the root directory of `esp-lib-utils` to the project.
4. **If multiple projects need to use the same configuration**, users can place it in the [Arduino Library Directory](#where-is-the-directory-for-arduino-libraries), so that all projects can share the same configuration. The layout of the Arduino library folder should look like this:

   ```
   Arduino
       |-libraries
           |-esp-lib-utils
           |-esp_utils_conf.h
           |-other_libs
   ```

> [!WARNING]
> * When the library version is updated, the configurations within the *esp_utils_conf.h* file might change, such as adding, deleting, or renaming.
> * To ensure the compatibility of the program, the library manages the version of the file independently and checks whether the configuration file currently used by the user are compatible with the library during compilation.
> * Detailed version information and checking rules can be found at the end of the file.

Since `esp-lib-utils` configures its functionality through the *esp_utils_conf.h* file, users can customize behavior and default parameters by adjusting the macro definitions within this file. For example, to enable debug log output, here is a snippet of the modified `esp_utils_conf.h` file:

```c
...
/**
 * Global log level, logs with a level lower than this will not be compiled. Choose one of the following:
 *  - ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG:   Extra information which is not necessary for normal use (values, pointers, sizes, etc)
 *                                 (lowest level)
 *  - ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_INFO:    Information messages which describe the normal flow of events
 *  - ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING: Error conditions from which recovery measures have been taken
 *  - ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR:   Critical errors, software module cannot recover on its own
 *  - ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_NONE:    No log output (highest level) (Minimum code size)
 *
 */
#define ESP_UTILS_CONF_LOG_LEVEL            (ESP_UTILS_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG)
...
```

> [!NOTE]
> `arduino-esp32` supports `try-catch` in C++ by default.
