Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

#azure-iot-device The core components of the Azure IoT device SDK.

npm version

Features

Use the Azure IoT device SDK to:

  • Send event data to Azure IoT Hub.
  • Receive messages from IoT Hub.
  • Communicate with the service via MQTT (optionally over WebSockets), AMQP (optionally over WebSockets), or HTTP.
  • Synchronize an Azure IoT Hub device Twin with Azure IoT Hub from a device
  • Implement Azure IoT Hub Direct Device Methods on devices
  • Implement Azure IoT Device Mangement features on devices

Prerequisites

You need to install the Node.js JavaScript runtime environment to run the Azure IoT JavaScript client SDK on your platform. To check if Node.js supports your platform (OS), verify that an install package is available on the Node.js download page.

npm is a command-line package manager that is installed with Node.js is installed, and will be used to install Azure IoT node.js client side SDK.

Installation

npm install azure-iot-device to get the latest version.

Getting Started

This package contains the core components of the Azure IoT device SDK, but doesn't include a transport over which to communicate with Azure IoT Hub. Your application must require a transport package in addition to the core package to do something useful.

For example, if you want to send an event from your device to an IoT Hub using the AMQP protocol you must first install the azure-iot-device-amqp package:

npm install azure-iot-device-amqp

Then you can use the code below to send a message to IoT Hub.

Note that for this sample to work, you will need to setup your IoT hub and provision your device and get its credentials. In the code, replace '[IoT Hub device connection string]' with the device credentials created in the IoT Hub.

var connectionString = '[IoT Hub device connection string]';

// use factory function from AMQP-specific package
var clientFromConnectionString = require('azure-iot-device-amqp').clientFromConnectionString;

// AMQP-specific factory function returns Client object from core package
var client = clientFromConnectionString(connectionString);

// use Message object from core package
var Message = require('azure-iot-device').Message;

var connectCallback = function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Could not connect: ' + err);
  } else {
    console.log('Client connected');
    var msg = new Message('some data from my device');
    client.sendEvent(msg, function (err) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err.toString());
      } else {
        console.log('Message sent');
      };
    });
  };
};


client.open(connectCallback);

See the azure-iot-device-* transport-specific packages for more information.
