◆ on_validate_parameter_callback()

bool modulo_controllers::BaseControllerInterface::on_validate_parameter_callback ( const std::shared_ptr< state_representation::ParameterInterface > & parameter )

protectedvirtual

Parameter validation function to be redefined by derived controller classes.

This method is automatically invoked whenever the ROS interface tried to modify a parameter. Validation and sanitization can be performed by reading or writing the value of the parameter through the ParameterInterface pointer, depending on the parameter name and desired controller behaviour. If the validation returns true, the updated parameter value (including any modifications) is applied. If the validation returns false, any changes to the parameter are discarded and the parameter value is not changed.

Parameters

parameter A ParameterInterface pointer to a Parameter instance

Returns: The validation result
