Transport Address
Usage of SockAddr structure in all public API in current asyncdispatch is very inconvenient for developers, so asyncdispatch2 uses new object for IP/PORT address representation TransportAddress.
TransportAddress* = object
## Transport network address
address*: IpAddress # IP Address
port*: Port # IP port
Also there two additional helper functions for work with TransportAddress:
proc strAddress*(address: string): TransportAddress =
## Parses string representation of ``address``.
##
## IPv4 transport address format is ``a.b.c.d:port``.
## IPv6 transport address format is ``[::]:port``.
proc `$`*(address: TransportAddress): string =
## Returns string representation of ``address``.
Examples
var taddr4 = strAddress("127.0.0.1:80") # IPv4 address
var taddr6 = strAddress("[::1]:80") # Note, that IPv6 address
# must be covered with `[]`
echo $taddr4 # Echo "127.0.0.1:80"
echo $taddr6 # Echo "[::1]:80"
