sintef-ditto-javascript-client-node v0.0.2

Ditto JavaScript Node.js client

It is an extended version of the official JavaScript API built and maintained purely for research purposes. Please contact @rdautov if you have any questions.

Implementation of the Eclipse Ditto JavaScript API that uses functionality of a Node.js environment. It is published to the npm registry as CommonJS module.

Using

npm i --save  sintef--ditto-javascript-client-node

Create an instance of a client:

const domain = 'localhost:8080';
const username = 'ditto';
const password = 'ditto';

// could also use newWebSocketClient() for the WebSocket implementation
const client = DittoNodeClient.newHttpClient()
            .withoutTls()
            .withDomain(domain)
            .withAuthProvider(NodeHttpBasicAuth.newInstance(username, password))
            .build();

To use a path other than /api to connect to ditto, the optional step .withCustomPath('/path/to/api') can be used.

To find out how to use the client, have a look at the api documentation, since the API will stay the same no matter what implementation is used.

Proxy

The Node.js implementation supports setting up a proxy. Currently, it supports either reading directly from 'https_proxy' (or 'HTTPS_PROXY') environment variable or manually setting the proxy settings.

// may also omit one or more of the options
const proxyOptions = {
  url: 'PROXY-URL:PROXYPORT',
  username: 'PROXY-USERNAME',
  password: 'PROXY-PASSWORD'
}

DittoNodeClient.newHttpClient(proxyOptions)
//  ...

Any options that are set manually will override options that are read from an environment variable.
