Json2iob

Convert json objects into ioBroker states

Usage

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

channelName //set name of the root channel

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

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

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

descriptions: Object of names for state keys Object of states to create for an id, new entries via json will be added automatically to the states

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

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

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

deleteBeforeUpdate: Delete channel before update,

 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];
  }
}
