Json2iob

This package converts a json objects into ioBroker states. It can handle nested array and obects. It will also generated automaticly the type and roles based on the type of value.

Usage

In a ioBroker Adapter

const Json2iob = require("json2iob");

this.json2iob = new Json2iob(this);

this.json2iob.parse(path, json, { forceIndex: true });

Options:

write //set common write variable to true

forceIndex //instead of trying to find names for array entries, use the index as the name.
Otherweise the value of a key with id, name, label, labelText will use a name. This is key overriden by preferedArrayName

disablePadIndex //disables padding of array index numbers if forceIndex = true

zeroBasedArrayIndex //start array index from 0 if forceIndex = true

preferedArrayName //set key to use this as an array entry name

preferedArrayDec //set key to use this as an array entry description

channelName //set name of the root channel

autoCast (true false) // make JSON.parse on all values to parse numbers correctly

descriptions: //Object of names for state keys

states: // Object of states to create for an id, new entries via json will be added automatically to the states

units: // Object of units to create for an id.

parseBase64: (true false) // parse base64 encoded strings to utf8

parseBase64byIds: //Array of ids to parse base64 encoded strings to utf8

parseBase64byIdsToHex : //Array of ids to parse base64 encoded strings to hex

deleteBeforeUpdate: //Delete channel before update,

removePasswords: // remove the values from password keys

dontSaveCreatedObjects: //create objects but do not save them to alreadyCreatedObjects this leads to recreating at every parsing

excludeStateWithEnding: //Array of strings to exclude states with this ending

makeStateWritableWithEnding: //Array of strings to make states with this ending writable
this.descriptions = {
  1: "POWER",
  2: "PLAY_PAUSE",
  3: "DIRECTION",
  5: "WORK_MODE",
};
this.states = {
  3: {
    FORWARD: "forward",
    BACKWARD: "back",
    LEFT: "left",
    RIGHT: "right",
  },
  5: {
    AUTO: "auto",
    SMALL_ROOM: "SmallRoom",
    SPOT: "Spot",
    EDGE: "Edge",
    NO_SWEEP: "Nosweep",
  },
};

await this.json2iob.parse(path, json, {
  forceIndex: true,
  write: true,
  descriptions: this.descriptions,
  states: this.states,
});

Force recreation after manual deletion

await this.delObjectAsync(id + ".clients", { recursive: true });
for (const key in this.json2iob.alreadyCreatedObjects) {
  if (key.startsWith(id + ".clients")) {
    delete this.json2iob.alreadyCreatedObjects[key];
  }
}
