Multiple Blynk Definitions on PlatformIo IDE

Need Help With My Project
1

I am trying to refactor the quickstart guide into a separate class with a header file and cpp.

My goal is to simplify my main.cpp so that the logic for the Blynk interactions is hidden in a separate header and implementation file.

Please see the below code:

// BlynkCredentials.h
#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "myTemplate"
#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_NAME "Quickstart Template"
#define BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN "myToken"

//BlynkHandler.h

#ifndef BLYNK_HANDLER_H
#define BLYNK_HANDLER_H

#include "BlynkCredentials.h"
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp32.h>   // Include the Blynk ESP32 library

class BlynkHandler
{
public:
    BlynkHandler(const char* ssid, const char* pass, const char* authToken);
    void begin();
    void run();
    void sendUptime();

private:
    BlynkTimer timer;
    const char* ssid;
    const char* pass;
    const char* authToken;
    void setupTimer();
};

#endif // BLYNK_HANDLER_H

// BlynkHandler.cpp

#include "BlynkHandler.h"

// Constructor initializes WiFi credentials and auth token
BlynkHandler::BlynkHandler(const char* ssid, const char* pass, const char* authToken)
    : ssid(ssid), pass(pass), authToken(authToken)
{
}

void BlynkHandler::begin()
{
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Blynk.begin(authToken, ssid, pass);  // Use Blynk instance provided by the library
    setupTimer();  // Setup timer event
}

void BlynkHandler::run()
{
    Blynk.run();    // Use Blynk instance provided by the library
    timer.run();
}

void BlynkHandler::sendUptime()
{
    Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, millis() / 1000);
}

void BlynkHandler::setupTimer()
{
    // Call sendUptime every second
    timer.setInterval(1000L, [this]() { this->sendUptime(); });
}

// Define the BLYNK_WRITE and BLYNK_CONNECTED functions for handling Blynk virtual pin events

BLYNK_WRITE(V0)
{
    int value = param.asInt();
    Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, value);
}

BLYNK_CONNECTED()
{
    Blynk.setProperty(V3, "offImageUrl", "https://static-image.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/general/fte/congratulations.png");
    Blynk.setProperty(V3, "onImageUrl", "https://static-image.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/general/fte/congratulations_pressed.png");
    Blynk.setProperty(V3, "url", "https://docs.blynk.io/en/getting-started/what-do-i-need-to-blynk/how-quickstart-device-was-made");
}

And this is how my main.cpp should look

// main.cpp

#include "BlynkCredentials.h"
#include <Arduino.h>
#include "BlynkHandler.h"

// WiFi credentials
const char* ssid = "user1tech-1stFloor";
const char* pass = "user1982";

// Instantiate BlynkHandler with ssid, password, and authToken
BlynkHandler blynkHandler(ssid, pass, BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN);

void setup()
{
    blynkHandler.begin();
}

void loop()
{
    blynkHandler.run();
}

Not sure but I am encountering this error of multiple Blynk definitions

Any thoughts what is wrong?
