Adapter-Core
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.
Usage
- Add this as a dependency:
npm i @iobroker/adapter-core
- Replace
const utils = require(__dirname + "/lib/utils");
with
const utils = require("@iobroker/adapter-core");
- Create an adapter instance as usual:
const adapter = utils.adapter();
class MyAdapter extends utils.Adapter {...}
Utility methods
Compared to the old utils.js
, some utility methods were added.
getAbsoluteDefaultDataDir
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
getAbsoluteInstanceDataDir
const instanceDataDir = utils.getAbsoluteInstanceDataDir(adapter);
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>
EXIT_CODES
adapter.terminate(
"for some reason",
utils.EXIT_CODES.ADAPTER_REQUESTED_TERMINATION,
);
Use standardized exit codes if your adapter needs to terminate.
commonTools
A collection of various utility methods and modules from JS-Controller. Prefer this over trying to find lib/tools.js
and similar internal modules from the controller yourself!
Currently, the following methods are available:
commonTools.pattern2RegEx
- Converts a pattern to match object IDs into a RegEx string that can be used in new RegExp(...)
commonTools.getAdapterDir
- Finds the adapter directory of a given adaptercommonTools.getInstalledInfo
- Get list of all installed adapters and controller version on this hostcommonTools.getLocalAddress
- Get the localhost (IPv6 or IPv4) address according to the ioBroker configcommonTools.getListenAllAddress
- Get the "listen all" (IPv6 or IPv4) address according to the ioBroker configcommonTools.isLocalAddress
- Check if given IPv4 or IPv6 ip address corresponds to localhostcommonTools.isListenAllAddress
- Check if given IPv4 or IPv6 ip address corresponds to "listen all" addresscommonTools.ensureDNSOrder
- Ensure that DNS resolution is performed according to ioBroker config
And the following modules are exposed:
commonTools.password
- Previously exposed as lib/password.js
in JS-Controller.commonTools.letsEncrypt
- Previously exposed as lib/letsencrypt.js
in JS-Controller. Note that letsEncrypt
has a capital E
!commonTools.session
- Previously exposed as lib/session.js
in JS-Controller.commonTools.zipFiles
- Previously exposed as lib/zipFiles.js
in JS-Controller.commonTools.isDocker
- Checks if we are running inside a docker container
Automatic backup of data files
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%"
.
Tips while working on this module
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.
