Autopilot (CICP Plugin)

This CICP plugin allows you to dynamically change the configuration of the any other plugins by sending query to any domain with some specific headers.

You first neeed to use registerCommand, then you listen for a specific event with the command you just registered.

How to use it

Add it to CICP

Install it to your plugins folder, then do not forget to add it while launching the cli: cicp -o autopilot,othersPlugins....
For a better usage, this plugin should be the first one in the list.

Require this plugin from another

Simply add the following object in your package.json:

"plugin": {
  "consumes": [
    "autopilot",
  ],
}

Register an event

this.autopilot.registerCommand({
    command: 'NEW-COMMAND',
    bypassQuery: true,
    waitForContinue: true,
});

Arguments

• object:
  • command (String) - Name of the new command
  • bypassQuery (Boolean) - If true, autopilot will response to client with 204 status. Default false.
  • waitForContinue (Boolean) - If true autopilot will not pass to the next plugin (you must call it yourself). Default false.

Wait for event

Later in your code use something like:

this.autopilot.on('NEW-COMMAND', (params) => {
    console.log(params);
});

Description of params

Params is an object having the following properties:

• command (String) - Name of the command responsible for the event (Same as the event)
• value (String) - Value of the specific header
