IoT.js Modules

Introduction

IoT.js Modules is a collection of packages which works with IoT.js, its mother project. The purpose of this "central community repository" is to provide a place everyone can freely share and borrow the packages. It includes not only IoT.js compatible modules but also tools and demo projects which can get inspiration from.

Ground rules

As of now, we set out to use git submodule to avoid raw duplication of each package. Tracking history and its integrity are guaranteed by git. The minimum requirements for the package are as follows:

• Basically, each package should be given as a standalone gitmodule and be added as a submodule of this repository.
• Each package should contain a descriptor, package.json, which includes name, version and iotjs.
• Each package should not use IoT.js core module names such as fs, http, console, and so on. It's encouraged to align with the conventions of Node.JS as much as possible.
• It's required to put a line at the end of your commit message which certifies who is the author. It aims to improve tracking of who did what, especially with patches. You should use your real name and email address in the format below:

IoT.js-Modules-DCO-1.0-Signed-off-by: Random Developer random@developer.example.org

• Other rules unmentioned follow IoT.js Developer's Guide — e.g., One commit per one pull request, Commit message convention and so on.

Examples

Adding a custom property for IoT.js to package.json.

// package.json
{
  "name": "", // all lowercase. one word, no spaces. dashes and underscores allowed.
  "version": "", // in the form of x.x.x.

  .....

  "iotjs": {
    "version": ">=1.0"
  }

  .....
}

For further information, please refer to package.json.

Adding a submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/{org}/{project}
git commit -sam 'Import {module} to iotjs modules'
