How to get ready for coding

# Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/thingweb/node-wot

# Go into the repository
$ cd node-wot

# install root dependencies (locally installs tools like typescript and lerna)
npm install 

# bootstrap the packages (installs dependencies and links the inter-dependencies)
# Note: This step is automatically done on building or testing
npm run bootstrap

# use tsc to transcompile TS code to JS in dist directory for each package
npm run build

# run test suites of all packets
npm run test 

# (OPTIONAL!) 
# make all packages available on your local machine (as symlinks)
# you can then use each paket in its local version via "npm link" instead of "npm install"
# see also https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link
sudo npm run link

No time for explanations - I want to start from something running!

Run all the steps above and then run this:

cd examples/scripts
wot-servient

• go to http://localhost:8080/counter and you'll find a thing description.
• you can query the count by http://localhost:8080/counter/properties/count
• you can modify the count via POST on http://localhost:8080/counter/actions/increment and http://localhost:8080/counter/actions/decrement
• application logic is in examples/scripts/counter.js

How to use the library

This library implements the Scripting API defined in the WoT Current Practices document.

You can also see examples/scripts to have a feeling of how to script a Thing.

Not everything has been succesfully implemented.
