When working with ROS and Parameters, there are a couple of tools to help you with handing Parameters to your nodes and to modify them, e.g. Parameter Server and dynamic_reconfigure.

But with the multitude of options on where to specify your parameters, we often face the problem that we get a redundancy in our code and config files.

The rosparam_handler let's you:

• specify all of your parameters in a single file
• use a generated struct to hold your parameters
• use member method for grabbing the parameters from the parameter server
• use member method for updating them from dynamic_reconfigure.
• make your parameters configurable with a single flag.
• set default, min and max values
• choose between global and private namespace
• save a lot of time on specifying your parameters in several places.
