You can check other adapters for examples or ask in the developer community. Using a name or logo of a company without permission may cause legal problems for you.

Getting started

You are almost done, only a few steps left:

1. Create a new repository on GitHub with the name ioBroker.acaad

2. Initialize the current folder as a new git repository:

   git init -b main
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   

3. Link your local repository with the one on GitHub:

   git remote add origin https://github.com/OlliMartin/ioBroker.acaad
   

4. Push all files to the GitHub repo:

   git push origin main
   

5. Add a new secret under https://github.com/OlliMartin/ioBroker.acaad/settings/secrets. It must be named AUTO_MERGE_TOKEN and contain a personal access token with push access to the repository, e.g. yours. You can create a new token under https://github.com/settings/tokens.

6. Head over to src/main.ts and start programming!

Best Practices

We've collected some best practices regarding ioBroker development and coding in general. If you're new to ioBroker or Node.js, you should check them out. If you're already experienced, you should also take a look at them - you might learn something new :)

Scripts in package.json

Several npm scripts are predefined for your convenience. You can run them using npm run <scriptname>

Script name	Description
build	Compile the TypeScript sources.
watch	Compile the TypeScript sources and watch for changes.
test:ts	Executes the tests you defined in *.test.ts files.
test:package	Ensures your package.json and io-package.json are valid.
test:integration	Tests the adapter startup with an actual instance of ioBroker.
test	Performs a minimal test run on package files and your tests.
check	Performs a type-check on your code (without compiling anything).
lint	Runs ESLint to check your code for formatting errors and potential bugs.
translate	Translates texts in your adapter to all required languages, see @iobroker/adapter-dev for more details.

Configuring the compilation

The adapter template uses esbuild to compile TypeScript and/or React code. You can configure many compilation settings either in tsconfig.json or by changing options for the build tasks. These options are described in detail in the @iobroker/adapter-dev documentation.

Writing tests

When done right, testing code is invaluable, because it gives you the confidence to change your code while knowing exactly if and when something breaks. A good read on the topic of test-driven development is https://hackernoon.com/introduction-to-test-driven-development-tdd-61a13bc92d92. Although writing tests before the code might seem strange at first, but it has very clear upsides.

The template provides you with basic tests for the adapter startup and package files. It is recommended that you add your own tests into the mix.

Publishing the adapter

Using GitHub Actions, you can enable automatic releases on npm whenever you push a new git tag that matches the form v<major>.<minor>.<patch>. We strongly recommend that you do. The necessary steps are described in .github/workflows/test-and-release.yml.

To get your adapter released in ioBroker, please refer to the documentation of ioBroker.repositories.

Test the adapter manually with dev-server

Since you set up dev-server, you can use it to run, test and debug your adapter.

You may start dev-server by calling from your dev directory:

dev-server watch

The ioBroker.admin interface will then be available at http://localhost:8081/

Please refer to the dev-server documentation for more details.
