Installation

npm install trackle-library-nodejs

Get a Device ID and a private key

Create an account on Trackle Cloud (https://trackle.cloud/)
Open "My Devices" section from the drawer
Click the button "Claim a device"
Select the link "I don't have a device id", then Continue
The Device Id will be shown on the screen and the private key file will be download with name <device_id>.der where <device_id> is Device ID taken from Trackle.

Implemented methods

To see the implemented methods you can check on this link example or import trackle from the installed library and check it there, with the library you also will import

Log_Level
Function_PermissionDef
Data_TypeDef
Ota_Method
Connection_Type
Event_Type
Event_Flags this are all enum declareted types that will help you with the values that function expects

Example

import fs from "fs";

import trackle, {
  Log_Level,
  Function_PermissionDef,
  Data_TypeDef,
  Connection_Type,
  Event_Type,
  Event_Flags
} from "trackle-library-nodejs";

Attention

The POST and GET methods are implemented to be synchronous, so if you want to implement a JavaScript function with them, you should NOT return a Promise.
