SignalK-merge
Utility to merge two Signal K objects, resolving conflicts using the timestamp of child objects. Small javascript utility to merge two Signal K objects or merge an child-object into a vessel in an existing Signal K tree. Conflicts are resolved by comparing timestamps.
Installation
npm install signalk-merge
Usage
var merge = require('signalk-merge');
/*
Merge a full signalK object into another.
Arguments:
0: full signalk object
1: full signalk object
*/
var signalk = merge.full(signal_k_object_a, signal_k_object_b);
/*
Merge a partial 'navigation' object into vessel 'self'.
Arguments:
0: full signalk object
1: vessel identifier or 'self'
2: object to merge into the vessel
*/
signalk = merge.into(signalk, 'self', {
"navigation": {
"state": {
"timestamp": "",
"state": "under way sailing"
}
}
});
Note: At the moment, it's not possible to merge partial objects into anything else but a vessel. Scheduled for the next release.
