Azure/iot-plugandplay-models-test repository

❗ WARNING: This is a test environment, do not use for production.

This repository includes DTDL models that are made publicly available on https://devicemodeltest.azureedge.net/. These models can be used to create Azure IoT Plug and Play solutions.

Related tools, samples, and specs can be found in the Azure/iot-plugandplay-models-tools repo. The current repo only stores test DTDL models.

Submit a model

1. Fork the public GitHub repo: https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models-test.
2. Clone the forked repo. Optionally create a new branch to keep your changes isolated from the main branch.
3. Add the new interfaces to the dtmi folder using the folder/filename convention. See the add-model tool below.
4. Validate the models locally using the scripts to validate changes section.
5. Commit the changes locally and push to your fork.
6. From your fork, create a PR that targets the main branch.
7. Review the PR requirements

The PR triggers a series of GitHub actions that will validate the new submitted interfaces, and make sure your PR satisfies all the checks.

Microsoft will respond to a PR with all checks in 3 business days.

Tools

The repo contains scripts to help managing the repo, with tools to add and valdidate files locally.

Note: These scripts require NodeJs. Don't forget to initialize the dependencies with:

npm install

add-models

If you have your model already stored in json files, you can use the add-model script to add those to the dtmi/ folder with the right file name.

npm run add-model <full-path-to-dtd.json>

Watch the console output for any error messages.

validate-files

Checks the folder and file names are expected from the root @id

npm run validate-files <list of files to validate>

validate-ids

Checks if all @id are nested under the root id.

npm run validate-ids <list of files to validate>

validate-deps

Checks if all the external dependencies in extends and @Component exists in the dtmi/ folder.

npm run validate-deps <list of files to validate>

validate-models

Checks if the models can be successfully validated by the .NET DTDL parser.

You can run the DTDL Validation Sample to validate your models locally

Consuming

Any HTTP client can consume the models by just applying the convention to translate DTMI ids to relative paths:

Eg, the interface:

dtmi:azure:DeviceManagement:DeviceInformation;1

can be retrieved from here:

https://devicemodeltest.azureedge.net/dtmi/azure/devicemanagement/deviceinformation-1.json

There are samples for .NET and Node in the iot-plugandplay-models-tools with code you can use to acquire models from your custom IoT solution.
