API Documentation

JS/TS library for Aitum's Public API. This library requires Aitum to be installed and running. You can read the API documentation here.

The main goal of this library is to provide an easy-to-use wrapper for using Aitum's public API, instead of having to spend the time implementing your own logic to make requests.

If you are looking for a more integrated way to do custom code with Aitum, please take a look at our Custom Code Wrapper project.

Installation

To install this module, please follow the steps below for your package manager of choice:

# npm
npm i -s aitum.js

# yarn
yarn add aitum.js

Getting Started

To get started, import and instantiate the library via its get method.

import { AitumJS } from 'aitum.js';
import { DeviceType } from 'aitum.js/lib/enums';

// Instantiate the library
// You can optionally provide an IP address to the machine running Aitum. It will default to 127.0.0.1
const lib = AitumJS().get(); 

// Example: Trigger an Aitum rule using its ID

// Grab all devices, filtered by Aitum devices, grab the first one.
const aitumDevice = (await lib.getDevices(DeviceType.Aitum))[0];
await aitumDevice.triggerRule('rule-id');


// Example: Change to a specific scene on OBS

// Grab all devices, filtered by OBS devices, grab the first one.
const obsDevice = (await lib.getDevices(DeviceType.OBS))[0];
await obsDevice.changeScene('my awesome scene');

Methods

NOTE: REWRITE IN PROGRESS, BELOW IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE INCORRECT

The methods in this library correspond to the methods listed in the Public API documentation.

Devices

Getting Devices

There are multiple ways to filter

import { AitumJS } from 'aitum.js';
import { DeviceType } from 'aitum.js/lib/enums';

// Instantiate the library
// You can optionally provide an IP address to the machine running Aitum. It will default to 127.0.0.1
const lib = AitumJS().get();

// Filter all devices by the type we want to find
const allOBSDevices = await lib.getDevices(DeviceType.OBSV5);

// If you have more info for filtering ahead of time
const singleOBSDevice = (await lib.getDevices(DeviceType.OBSV5, { host: 'aitum-host-id', name: 'device-name' }))[0];
