robopoint - gateway to robocloud for simple devices

As the headline suggests the purpose of this web app is to provide easier access to robocloud for devices for which it would be too difficult to interact directly. Here are a few concrete examples: * A simple unit based on an ESP chip is sending meteorology measurement data to robocloud for further processing. * Robotic mouse that is following a line is seeking a buddy to get help to find the lost line. * Two maze solvers want to share info on the shortest track to get through a maze., _(*1)

Installation

Make sure you read the robocloud README.md file first (https://github.com/martinhej/robocloud/blob/master/README.md) to learn about the basics., _(*2)
In your symfony project run:, _(*3)

composer require martinhej/robopoint

Copy the robopoint.yaml.dist to robopoint.yaml. You can also move a copy of the file into desired packages directory to handle environment specific configuration., _(*4)
After addressing Kinesis specific settings (and DynamoDB in case you are going to store messages in DynamoDB table) make sure the message_schema_dir and recovery_file path settings are correct., _(*5)
Deploy to a server of your choice or use the Symfony server bundle bin/console server:run., _(*6)

Push messages to stream

At this moment the only reference point for available endpoints is the robopoint\Controller\Api\V1\MessageController class. The REST API is far from what it should be and its initial structure is in progress., _(*7)

POST at the /messages/ endpoint your first message into the stream. I.e. try, _(*8)

{
  "messages":
    [
      {
          "roboId":"robogarden",
          "purpose":"garden.water_pump.start",
          "data":{
              "pumpId":"demo",
              "runTime":"3200"
          }
      }
    ]
}

If you get 200 response it should contain the message id and time:, _(*9)

{
"messages": 
    [
        {
            "messageId": "92089bf40a4ed3a623ba6140fa2a520ab77fcb6d",
            "messageTime": "2018-05-30T15:13:21+0000"
        }
    ]
}

Read messages

Visit api/v1/messages/robo1/read-by-purpose/garden.water_pump.start to read the message you just sent., _(*10)

The response contains messages and lag. The lag is the time in microseconds behind the latest message in the stream., _(*11)
