UPDATE [10/19/2015]: I have re-uploaded the .zip file containing the API. The first time I uploaded it, I accidentally included a lot of the files from the official Perforce .NET API, including a lot of help files, which bloated the upload .zip. This apparently caused the virus checking to never complete, so hopefully this re-upload gets people the API. It is currently unchanged, but please feel free to comment with changes you have made or issues that come up. I am currently unable to update the API, but very soon I should be able to update it and integrate people's changes/additions if there are any. A few people have already contacted me regarding the API.
*******************************************************************************************************************
This is an API meant to interact with a Perforce server rather than the feature-poor SCC API that ships with LabVIEW or the P4 command line tool. It is built on top of the Perforce .NET API using LabVIEW's .NET integration, so you get an object-rich API rather than writing string parsers for the P4 command line tool.
The library is fairly modular and was built up over a period of months as more and more advanced scripting and API calls were needed. I would consider the robustness of the library to be equivalent to a well-built prototype, as most of the VIs work as expected in common use cases. There is a good foundation for myself or others to add to. Rather than build an API that replaces all of the Perforce .NET API, I took the approach of adding calls as needed, performing code re-factors as needed along the way to make the library well architected and modular.
General notes:
- Add documentation. However, most VIs are self-explanatory via the name and inputs.
- Add more thorough examples.
- Add additional API calls as needed.
The first two points are where the official Perforce .NET API documentation is itself lacking.
