2022-09-04SingleKeyValue: use reference for template parameterAlexey Rusakov
I guess it was simply overlooked originally; in any case, currently used compilers deal with the reference just as fine as with the pointer.
2022-09-04SingleKeyValue: allow seamless construction from the underlying typeAlexey Rusakov
SingleKeyValue is a tiny wrapper and supposed to be discreet. Having to explicitly (even if only with braces) construct its objects stands in the way of readability on the consuming side of the code and sometimes prevents direct initialisation of event objects without constructors getting some kind of ContentParamTs parameter pack where a single content_type argument would suffice otherwise.
2022-05-08toSnakeCase and EventContent::SingleKeyValueAlexey Rusakov
This is a rework of EventContent::SimpleContent previously defined in simplestateevents.h. Quite a few events (and not only state events) have just a single key-value pair in their content - this structure (which is really just a template wrapper around the value) and the accompanying JsonConverter<> specialisation encapsulate the concept to streamline definition of such events. This commit only has simplestateevents.h using it; further commits will use SingleKeyValue in other places. toSnakeCase is a facility function that converts camelCase used for C++ variables into snake_case used in JSON payloads. Combined with the preprocessor trick that makes a string literal from an identifier, this allows to reduce boilerplate code that repeats the same name for fields in C++ event classes and fields in JSON. SingleKeyValue uses it, and there are other cases for it coming.
