Multiple updates 
- Transaction APIs removed
- Use different save dirs per proto

- Use event based refresh timer
- Commit changes from main daemon for default proto
- For add request commit changes without reload for default proto
- extend bbf.config to monitor based on input
- extend bbf.config to reload/commit based on input
- extend bb.config to provide list of service changes based on proto

# API guide and usages
`libbbfdm-api` provides API to define datamodel objects as well as it also provides APIs to traverse the datamodel definitions.
Most used datamodel APIs described in [libbbfdm_api.h](../../libbbfdm-api/include/libbbfdm_api.h)
Following is the list of APIs used by bbfdmd for tree traversal:
### bbf_entry_method
used to read the data model based on the input given
```
int bbf_entry_method(struct dmctx *ctx, int cmd)
inputs
struct dmctx *ctx
pointer to struct dmctx strunture. The list of parameter will be updated in ctx.list_parameter. each node in the list is of type
struct dm_parameter which contains char *name, char *data, char *type and char *additional_data;
the content of fields are updated based on the cmd and are as follows-
cmd | Name | Type | Data | Addtional Data |
|------------- |------------- |------------- |------------ |--------------------- |
|BBF_GET_VALUE |Parameter |$ref(type) |Value | NA |
|BBF_GET_NAME |Parameter |$ref(type) |writable(0/1) | NA |
|BBF_SET_VALUE |path | NA | NA | NA |
|BBF_ADD_OBJECT |path | NA | NA | NA |
|BBF_DEL_OBJECT |path | NA | NA | NA |
|BBF_OPERATE |path | NA | NA | NA |
|BBF_SCHEMA |paramter ||$ref(type) |writable(0/1) |unique keys |
|BBF_INSTANCES |parameter | NA |NA |NA |
|BBF_EVENT |path | NA | NA | NA |
int cmd
command to API to tell how the data model is to be read, possible values are
BBF_GET_VALUE - Read the values of the parameters from data model
BBF_GET_NAME - Read the names of the parameters from data model
BBF_SET_VALUE - Set value of specified parameters in the data model
BBF_ADD_OBJECT - Add object in a multi instance parameter in the data model
BBF_DEL_OBJECT - Delete object from a multi instance parameter in the data model
BBF_OPERATE - execute the specified command
BBF_SCHEMA - Read all the parameter type parameter from data model.
BBF_INSTANCES - Read all the instance of multi instance parameter from data model.
BBF_EVENT - execute the specified event
return
int fault
contains the fault code if API is not able to read the data model. returns 0 on success.
```
### bbf_ctx_init
This method is used to initialize the dmctx structure object to read the data model.
```
void bbf_ctx_init(struct dmctx *ctx, DMOBJ *tEntryObj);
inputs
struct dmctx *ctx
pointer to struct dmctx strunture to be initialized.
return
None
```
### bbf_ctx_init_sub
This method is an extension of bbf_ctx_init method. only difference it only intializes dmctx structure object and does not intializes other resources used in reading data model
```
void bbf_ctx_init_sub(struct dmctx *ctx, DMOBJ *tEntryObj)
inputs
struct dmctx *ctx
pointer to struct dmctx strunture to be initialized.
return
None
```
### bbf_ctx_clean
This method is used to free the dmctx structure object and other resources post reading the data model.
```
void bbf_ctx_clean(struct dmctx *ctx)
input
struct dmctx *ctx
pointer to struct dmctx strunture to be freed.
return
None
```
### bbf_ctx_clean_sub
This method is an extension of bbf_ctx_clean method. only difference is it frees the dmctx structure and does not free other resources used in reading data model
```
void bbf_ctx_clean_sub(struct dmctx *ctx)
input
struct dmctx *ctx
pointer to struct dmctx strunture to be freed.
return
None
```
### bbf_entry_restart_services
This method is used to restart the state of data model whenever its state is changed
```
void bbf_entry_restart_services(struct blob_buf *bb, bool restart_services)
input
struct blob_buf *bb
pointer to the struct blob_buf object. contains all the packages updated.
bool restart_services
if true packages will be updated through ubus call bbf.config internally.
if false packages will be updated through ubus call bbf.config externally.
return
None
```
### bbf_entry_revert_changes
This method is used to revert the changes whenever its state is changed
```
void bbf_entry_revert_changes(struct blob_buf *bb, bool revert_changes)
input
struct blob_buf *bb
pointer to the struct blob_buf object. contains all the packages updated.
bool revert_changes
if true changes will be reverted through ubus call bbf.config internally.
if false changes will be reverted through ubus call bbf.config externally.
return
None
```
# Deprecated/removed APIs and user defined datatypes
To support new feature sometimes old APIs provided by libbbfdm-api library needs to be updated, this guide provides a better context to the migration.
Following table has APIs/datatypes which are now deprecated:
| Type | Deprecated API | New API | Comment |
| -------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------- |
| function | `bbf_get_reference_param` | `bbfdm_get_references` | Replaced with a generic API that is accessible for both internal (bbfdm core) and external (microservices) data models |
| function | `bbf_get_reference_args` | `bbfdm_get_reference_linker` | Replaced with a generic API that is accessible for both internal (bbfdm core) and external (microservices) data models |
| stucture | `dmmap_dup` | `dm_data` | Replaced to support the extension for Obj/Param/Operate using JSON plugin |
