function register_device

Maturity: 24

Asynchronously registers a device using a provided registration code by delegating to the client's register_device method.

Purpose

This function serves as a wrapper to register a device with a remote service. It retrieves a client instance and calls its register_device method with the provided code. The function is decorated with @add_sync to provide both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces. This is typically used during device authentication/pairing workflows where a user provides a registration code to link their device to their account.

Source Code

async def register_device(code: str):
    return await (await get_client()).register_device(code)

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
code str - positional_or_keyword

Parameter Details

code: A string representing the device registration code. This is typically a unique code provided by the service that authorizes the device to be registered. The code format and validation rules are determined by the remote service's requirements.

Return Value

Returns the result of the client's register_device method. Based on the context (DEVICE_REGISTER_URL constant and authentication flow), this likely returns device registration information such as device tokens, device ID, or authentication credentials needed for subsequent API calls. The exact return type is not annotated but is likely a dictionary or custom object containing registration details.

Usage Example

import trio
from your_module import register_device

# Async usage
async def main():
    registration_code = "ABC123XYZ"
    result = await register_device(registration_code)
    print(f"Device registered: {result}")

trio.run(main)

# Synchronous usage (via add_sync decorator)
from your_module import register_device_sync
registration_code = "ABC123XYZ"
result = register_device_sync(registration_code)
print(f"Device registered: {result}")

Best Practices

  • Always validate the registration code format before calling this function to avoid unnecessary API calls
  • Handle potential exceptions such as AuthError, ApiError that may be raised during registration
  • The @add_sync decorator automatically creates a synchronous version of this function (likely named register_device_sync)
  • Ensure proper error handling for network failures and invalid registration codes
  • Store the returned registration information securely as it likely contains authentication credentials
  • This function requires an async runtime (trio) to execute; use the synchronous version if running in non-async context
