Hypergate is a library for the integration of local resources to the Internet of Things (IoT). It can be used for creating edge applications and IoT gateway software by combining resource-specific applications (plugins) with protocol-specific modules (web interfaces).
The core module provides a single class called Hypergate which controls the execution
of plugins and emits events that can be used by a web interface to relay messages to web/cloud
applications.
A plugin can be any script or executable located in the local machine that independently implements the logic for interacting with a local resource.
A web interface is usually a wrapper of a common JavaScript library and transforms the events emmited by an Hypergate instance in messages of a well-known network protocol. Some of the availables web interfaces are:
- hypergate-socketio-server: provides a WebSocket server using the popular Socket.IO library.
- hypergate-express: creates a REST web application using the popular Express framework.
- hypergate-mqtt: provides a MQTT client usign the popular MQTT.js library
- hypergate-aws-mqtt: provides a MQTT client device for the AWS IoT Platform using the aws-iot-device-sdk.js package
