Template for adapter development

Developer manual

This section is intended for the developer. It can be deleted later

Getting started

You are almost done, only a few steps left:

1. Create a new repository on GitHub with the name ioBroker.petrolstation

2. Initialize the current folder as a new git repository:

   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"

3. Link your local repository with the one on GitHub:

   git remote add origin https://github.com/Author/ioBroker.template

4. Push all files to the GitHub repo:

   git push origin master

5. Head over to src/main.ts and start programming!

Scripts in package.json

Several npm scripts are predefined for your convenience. You can run them using npm run <scriptname> | Script name | Description | |-------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | build | Re-compile the TypeScript sources. | | watch | Re-compile the TypeScript sources and watch for changes. | | test:ts | Executes the tests you defined in *.test.ts files. | | test:package | Ensures your package.json and io-package.json are valid. | | test:unit | Tests the adapter startup with unit tests (fast, but might require module mocks to work). | | test:integration| Tests the adapter startup with an actual instance of ioBroker. | | test | Performs a minimal test run on package files and your tests. | | coverage | Generates code coverage using your test files. |

Writing tests

When done right, testing code is invaluable, because it gives you the confidence to change your code while knowing exactly if and when something breaks. A good read on the topic of test-driven development is https://hackernoon.com/introduction-to-test-driven-development-tdd-61a13bc92d92. Although writing tests before the code might seem strange at first, but it has very clear upsides.

The template provides you with basic tests for the adapter startup and package files. It is recommended that you add your own tests into the mix.

Publishing the adapter

See the documentation of ioBroker.repositories.

Test the adapter manually on a local ioBroker installation

In order to install the adapter locally without publishing, the following steps are recommended:

1. Create a tarball from your dev directory:

   npm pack

2. Upload the resulting file to your ioBroker host
3. Install it locally (The paths are different on Windows):

   cd /opt/iobroker
   npm i /path/to/tarball.tgz

For later updates, the above procedure is not necessary. Just do the following:

1. Overwrite the changed files in the adapter directory (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.template)
2. Execute iobroker upload template on the ioBroker host
