Basic Usage

BadgerLog is designed to use annotations to generate custom NetworkTables wrappers that support some additional functionality. Annotations are the preferred method of using BadgerLog.

Some Notes before starting.

• Fields need to be initialized after the constructor
• Fields can not be final
• Fields can have any access modifier (public, private, protected)

Given this, it is relatively easy to start creating entries.

The base annotation needed to mark a field to have an entry created is the @Entry annotation

Example base usage

@Entry(EntryType.Publisher)
public int basicInteger = 1;

Without specifying the key using the @Key annotation, the default is Enclosing Class/Field Name.

In this example, if the class the field was defined in was named ArmSubsystem then the final NetworkTables key would be ArmSubsystem/basicInteger

The / in the key for NetworkTables specifies that it should use the table underneath the BadgerLog table named ArmSubsystem and the entry named basicInteger
