OpenADR implementation in TypeScript for Node.js (partial)

This repository contains an initial stab at OpenADR for Node.js written in TypeScript. At the moment it only supports implementing a PULL-mode Virtual End Node (VEN). It has only been tested against the OpenLEADR Virtual Top Node (VTN).

At the moment it implements a small subset of OpenADR 2.0b:

It can use oadrCreatePartyRegistration to connect with a VTN.
The start method sets up a job scheduler, which is meant to be the means for scheduling report execution.
The start method initializes a Poll job, to send OadrPoll requests to the VTN.
The poll method has the initial bones of dispatching Poll responses to handler functions.
DistributeEvent messages are handled in handle_on_event. A VEN sets up a handler for this using on_event.

This means it does not:

Register reports with the VTN
Handle other Registration tasks
Support canceling Registration or Report operations

This library also does not contain enough to implement a VTN.

This library was created by studying the following OpenADR implementations:

The latter is written in Node.js, but is also written for the NodeRED environment. NodeADR is meant to be used in generic Node.js, and not be limited to NodeRED.

A trivial example:

import * as VEN from './dist/client.js';

const VEN_NAME = process.env['VEN_NAME'];
const VEN_ID   = process.env['VEN_ID'];
const VTN_URL  = process.env['VTN_URL'];

const ven = new VEN.OpenADRClient(VEN_NAME, VEN_ID, VTN_URL);

ven.on_event(event => {
    console.log(`on_event `, event);
    return 'optIn';
});

await ven.start()

This sets up the VEN, and starts the scheduler. The only job, as said above, is OadrPoll.
