Link IoT Edge Core SDK for Node.js

The package allows developers to write functions on Function Compute using JavaScript, which running within Link IoT Edge.

Installation

``
npm install linkedge-core-sdk
`

or you can copy this project directly to your function's node_modules directory.

Althrough the library is built into Link IoT Edge, we recommand that you install it locally as it improves the development experience, especially when developing with IDE.

Example

Here is a examle demonstrates publishing messages to a topic.

`js
const leSdk = require('linkedge-core-sdk');

const iotData = new leSdk.IoTData();
const message = {
topic: '/hello/world',
payload: 'Hello World! Sent from Link IoT Edge using Node.js.',
};
iotData.publish(message, (err) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
});
`

$3

Publishes messages.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:
* topic: {String} (Required) the topic name to be published.
* payload: {String|Buffer} (Required) the message payload in string or in binary.
* callback(err): a callback function for receiving result, which follows the standard JS practice of setting the first parameter as an error.

$3

Obtains specific properties of a thing.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:
* productKey: {String} (Required) the productKey of the target thing from which to get properties.
* deviceName: {String} (Required) the deviceName of the target thing from which to get properties.
* payload: {Array} (Required) a list of keys that specifies the properties to be obtained.
* callback(err, data): a callback function for receiving result, which follows the standard JS practice of setting the first parameter as an error and the second parameter as the result object.

---



$3

Updates the properties of a thing.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:

$3

Calls a specific service of a thing.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:
* productKey: {String} (Required) the productKey of the target thing of which to call a service.
* deviceName: {String} (Required) the deviceName of the target thing of which to call a service.
* service: {String} (Required) the name of the service to be called.
* payload: {String|Buffer} a optional string or binary in JSON that you provided to the service as arguments.
* callback(err, [data]): a callback function for receiving result, which follows the standard JS practice of setting the first parameter as an error and the second parameter as the result object.

---



$3

Obtains a list of thing objects, each of which being with all given tags.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:
* payload: {Array} (Required) a list of tag that consisting of {key: value}.
* callback: a callback function for receiving result, which follows the standard JS practice of setting the first parameter as an error and the second parameter as a list of thing objects.

---



$3

Invokes a specific function.

The parameters are:
* params: params object，which contains:
* functionId: {String} (Required) the id of the function to be invoked. Function name is not supported currently.
* invocaionType: {String} a optional type of the invocation, may be Sync or Async. It will be Sync if not specified.
* invokerContext: {String} a optional invoker-specific information to the invoked function. The invoker information will be passed into the function, and can be choosed through context variable. It must be base64-encoded.
