NPM

INTRODUCTION

While ExpressJs claims to be minimalist, many dependencies are required and thus can't support IoT.js runtime (powered by JerryScript an alternative engine for MicroControllers).

Instead of porting the whole project to older ECMA standards, basic routing was re-implemented, and API tried to be preserved.

Originally this module was done for "webthing-iotjs" project, a library to build webthings to connect to WebThingsIo gateway.

Source file was bundled into project, but then pulled out as this standalone module, which can be used by both runtime Node.Js and IoT.js.

DEMO

In "webthing-iotjs-20180621rzr" video, Edison's running a webthing server powered by iotjs-express framework to build routes, (it relies on IoT.js's http module, API is aligned to node)

webthing-iotjs-20180621rzr

Demo also shows following systems:

  • Edison: iotjs-express + webthing-iotjs on Jubilinux (Debian fork).
  • RaspberryPi: webthings-gateway + express.js on Raspbian
  • Galaxy note: SamsungInternet web browser for Android.

EXTRA EXAMPLES

iotjs example/client.js 8080 localhost /.well-known/security.txt
Contact: https://www.npmjs.com/~rzr

An extra example is added to show how to make a bridge from HTTP/REST to MQTT.
