Question: How to expose setting device name in the API?

[gmaclennan]

Description

We need a public method for setting a device name. In the future we might want to set additional metadata in addition to the name. Initially a device will only be able to set its own name, but in the future we might want to enable setting of other devices names (e.g. a project coordinator might want to choose the names of other devices).

Suggestions:

• project.$setDeviceInfo(), project.$getDeviceInfo()

is this different than what the $member namespace provides?

Good question, perhaps that API is sufficient? Actually just realizing that we also need to set device name at a device-level (e.g. across projects), and this would be the default for any projects that you join.

I think it should be for what you're originally describing

yeah I think it makes more sense for this issue to suggest a client-level api e.g. client.setDeviceInfo
