Features

This project uses Feathersjs. An open source web framework for building modern real-time applications.

Microservices built on REST API / Realtime API

Every IoT device can have now his REST API / Realtime API in order to manage it, get MQTT realtime data, publish MQTT data, store incoming data.

All microservices and methods are available thru our client (rockiot-api-dev) using websockets transport protocol

Built-in authentication

rockiot-api has a built-in authentication system (that you can extend) based on JWT Web Tokens (username+password by default).

All microservices requires authentication and are safely transmitted to client using wss protocol (SSL certificate must be installed on the server).

4. Create a user (admin) only for testing purpose

   If you cloned the repository the user has been created automatically

   curl POST --data={"email":"admin","password":"password"}
