Core module to be used in ioBroker adapters. Acts as the bridge to js-controller.
This replaces the utils.js
included in the ioBroker template adapter.
- Add this as a dependency:
npm i @iobroker/adapter-core
- Replace
with
const utils = require(__dirname + "/lib/utils");
const utils = require("@iobroker/adapter-core");
- Create an adapter instance as usual:
// old style const adapter = utils.adapter(/* options */); // new style (classes). See https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.template/ for a more detailed usage class MyAdapter extends utils.Adapter {...}
Compared to the old utils.js
, some utility methods were added.
const dataDir = utils.getAbsoluteDefaultDataDir();
This returns the absolute path of the data directory for the current host. On linux, this is usually /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data
// old style
const instanceDataDir = utils.getAbsoluteInstanceDataDir(adapter);
// new style (classes)
const instanceDataDir = utils.getAbsoluteInstanceDataDir(this);
Returns the absolute path of the data directory for the current adapter instance.
On linux, this is usually /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/<adapterName>.<instanceNr>
adapter.terminate(
"for some reason",
utils.EXIT_CODES.ADAPTER_REQUESTED_TERMINATION,
);
Use standardized exit codes if your adapter needs to terminate.
ioBroker has the ability to include files written by adapters in its backups. To enable that, you need to add the following to io-package.json
:
{
// ...
"common": {
// ...
"dataFolder": "path/where/your/files/are"
}
}
This path is relative to the path returned by getAbsoluteDefaultDataDir()
. The placeholder %INSTANCE%
is automatically replaced by the instance number of each adapter, for example "dataFolder": "my-adapter.%INSTANCE%"
.
npm run build
creates a clean rebuild of the module. This is done automatically before every buildnpm run lint
checks for linting errorsnpm run watch
creates an initial build and then incrementally compiles the changes while working.
If you find errors in the definitions, e.g. function calls that should be allowed but aren't, please open an issue here or over at https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped and make sure to mention @AlCalzone.
