Admin control panel in React for "Things" implemented with hololinked or
having a standard WoT Thing Description with HTTP protocol binding. Suitable for development of server backend,
test properties, actions and events or generic use purposes to interact with the Thing.
The GUI is only coming up, its still rough on the edges.
npm install . or npm install . --force to install the requirements and dependencies
npm run dev to run as react app
npm run dev -- --host --port 12345 to run on the network
npm run build to build and host with your own HTTP server
Insert the address of the device, then press load. If you are using your own Thing server runtime or a standard location to store
your thing descriptions, click on settings (cog-wheel on top left) and edit "default endpoint for fetching thing description" to suit
your requirements. If you are using hololinked as the server, the default endpoint must /resources/portal-app, and enter the
Thing addresss as https://{address of host}/{instance name of the thing}.
If self signed HTTP(s) certificate is used, you might have to give permission to the browser. Its suggested to use Mozilla as Chrome seems to have issues with self-signed certificates since version 119.
After you load, your defined properties, actions and events are shown. You can freely interact with them as shown below:
Its recommended to install a JSON viewer for your web browser, like this.
You can then load the console entries in a new tab and read it in a correctly formatted way. Edit the number of entries that can stored in the console output by setting the value of "Max Entries" from the drop down. More entries will take more RAM, but useful for capturing events or eventful measurement data directly in the GUI.
- Log Viewer does not work correctly, although its almost complete.
- Improvements in viewing TD, especially for events as its shown right below
- Settings are not saved correctly in browser
- Responsive layout for smaller screens
- Packaging in Electron
Possible further ideas
- Database viewer (i.e. viewer of properties that are stored in database)
- Observe all properties, subscribe all events
- Graphical data acquisition into file using events
