# Unreal Engine integration

## Overview

Our SDK can be used together with [UnrealEngine](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US).
It is **not** fully functional plugin but can be easly integrated into your project as a unreal module.

## How to setup

First of all you have to clone this repository inside the `<UnrealProject>/Source/` directory.
We recommend to place it inside the `ThirdParty` one (create it if no present).

After that you have to compile [desired option](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/c-core#hello-world) of the SDK.
You can simple do it in the SDK directory as follow:
```sh
make -C <option> -f <architecture>.mk pubnub_<implementation>.a
```

For example:

```sh
make -C openssl -f posix.mk pubnub_sync.a
```

> :warning: if you choose `openssl` option make sure that your openssl library headers match the Unreal ones! :warning:
After that you have to adjust `PubNubModule/PubNubModule.Build.cs` with selected options.
Just change `option`, `architecture` and `implementation` with the same values you used in compilation.
Our can use the PubNub C-Core SDK with [Unreal Engine](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US). It's **not** a fully functional plugin yet, but you can easily integrate it into your project as an Unreal module.

## Setup

1. Clone this repository to the `<UnrealProject>/Source/` directory. We recommend that you place it inside the `ThirdParty` folder (create it, if necessary).

2. Compile the [desired option](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/c-core#hello-world) of the SDK. You can do it in the SDK directory like so:

```sh
make -C <option> -f <architecture>.mk pubnub_<implementation>.a
```

For example:

```sh
make -C openssl -f posix.mk pubnub_sync.a
```

> :warning: If you choose the `openssl` option, ensure that your openssl library headers match the Unreal ones!
3. Adjust `PubNubModule/PubNubModule.Build.cs` with selected options by changing `option`, `architecture` and `implementation` with the same values you used for compilation.

> This is a temporary solution. We are aware that out build system needs some love.
For example:

```csharp
private readonly string Option = "openssl";
private readonly string Architecture = "posix";
private readonly string string Implementation = "sync";
```

4. Finally, import the module into your project as follows:

- `<UnrealProject>.Target.cs` and `<UnrealProject>Editor.Target.cs`

```csharp
public class <UnrealProject>[Editor]Target : TargetRules
{
public <UnrealProject>[Editor]Target (TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
{
//...
ExtraModuleNames.Add("PubNubModule");
}
}
```

- `<UnrealProject>.uproject`

```json5
{
//...
"Modules": [
//...
{
"Name": "PubNubModule",
"Type": "Runtime",
"LoadingPhase": "Default"
}
],
//...
}
```

> Note that this step is temporary until we enchant our build system that is quite obsolete and need maintenance. We are aware of it.
Now, generate the project files using your IDE and you're ready to go!

for example:
```csharp
private readonly string Option = "openssl";
private readonly string Architecture = "posix";
private readonly string string Implementation = "sync";
```
## Usage

In the end you have to import module into your project as follow:
1. Make PubNub discoverable in the module you want to use PubNub in by modifying the `<Module>.Build.cs` file:

- `<UnrealProject>.Target.cs` and `<UnrealProject>Editor.Target.cs`
```csharp
public class <UnrealProject>[Editor]Target : TargetRules
{
public <UnrealProject>[Editor]Target (TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
```csharp
public class <Module> : ModuleRules
{
//...
ExtraModuleNames.Add("PubNubModule");
}
}
```

- `<UnrealProject>.uproject`
```json5
{
//...
"Modules": [
//...
public <Module>(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
{
"Name": "PubNubModule",
"Type": "Runtime",
"LoadingPhase": "Default"
//...
PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add("PubNubModule");
}
],
//...
}
```

Now generate the project files using your IDE and you're ready to go!

## How to use it

Make it discoverable in module that you want to use it by `<Module>.Build.cs` file:
```csharp
public class <Module> : ModuleRules
{
public <Module>(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
{
//...
PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add("PubNubModule");
}
}
```
```

Now you can import `PubNub.h` header into your files as follow:
```cpp
#include "PubNub.h"
```
2. Import the `PubNub.h` header into your files as follows:

```cpp
#include "PubNub.h"
```

> Note that you don't have to wrap it with `THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_START` and `THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_END` because we've done that for you.
> :warning: You don't have to wrap it with `THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_START` and `THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_END` because we've done that for you.

Good luck with your project!
