Install instructions
=============
To install the library you need the pip program:
Debian/Ubuntu
```sh
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
```
Fedora/CentOS
```sh
$ sudo yum install python-pip
```
Archlinux
```sh
$ sudo pacman -S python-pip
```
To install last release:
------------------------
```sh
$ sudo pip install CoAPthon
```
To install master branch:
-------------------------
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/Tanganelli/CoAPthon.git
$ cd CoAPthon
$ python setup.py sdist
$ sudo pip install dist/CoAPthon-4.0.2.tar.gz -r requirements.txt
```
Running:
--------
The library is installed in the default path as well as the bins that you can use and customize. In order to start
the example CoAP server issue:
```sh
$ coapserver.py
```
To uninstall:
-------------
```sh
$ sudo pip uninstall CoAPthon
```
Install instructions on Arduino Yun
======
Log through ssh to the Yun and issue the following:
```sh
# opkg update #updates the available packages list
# opkg install distribute #it contains the easy_install command line tool
# opkg install python-openssl #adds ssl support to python
# easy_install pip #installs pip
```
Then you need to modify the setup.py and comment the line conditionalExtensions=getExtensions(). Then :
```sh
# python setup.py build_py build_scripts install --skip-build
```
Install instructions for CoRE Resource Directory
======
To use Resource Directory functionalities, you need to install mongoDB database [following the official documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/).
Then you need to configure Resource Directory database. [Start mongod process](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/manage-mongodb-processes/) and [open a mongo shell](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/mongo/). In mongo shell use these commands:
```sh
> use resourceDirectory
> db.createUser( {user: "RD",pwd: "res-dir",roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "resourceDirectory" } ] } )
> db.resources.createIndex( { "ep": 1, "d": 1 }, { unique: true } )
```
You can change user, password and database name in the commands above. If you change some parameters, then you must change them also in mongoDB parameters in coapthon/defines.py file where you will find also the path for your mongoDB configuration file. The default configuration file is /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf.
User Guide

CoAP server
-----------
In order to implements a CoAP server the basic class must be extended. Moreover the server must add some resources.
```Python
from coapthon.server.coap import CoAP
from exampleresources import BasicResource
class CoAPServer(CoAP):
def __init__(self, host, port):
CoAP.__init__(self, (host, port))
self.add_resource('basic/', BasicResource())
def main():
server = CoAPServer("0.0.0.0", 5683)
try:
server.listen(10)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "Server Shutdown"
server.close()
print "Exiting..."
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```
Resources are extended from the class resource.Resource. Simple examples can be found in example_resource.py.
```Python
from coapthon.resources.resource import Resource
class BasicResource(Resource):
def __init__(self, name="BasicResource", coap_server=None):
super(BasicResource, self).__init__(name, coap_server, visible=True,
observable=True, allow_children=True)
self.payload = "Basic Resource"
def render_GET(self, request):
return self
def render_PUT(self, request):
self.payload = request.payload
return self
def render_POST(self, request):
res = BasicResource()
res.location_query = request.uri_query
res.payload = request.payload
return res
def render_DELETE(self, request):
return True
```
Advanced Use
------------
### Separate Responses
To always reply following the separate mode:
```Python
from coapthon.resources.resource import Resource
class Separate(Resource):
def __init__(self, name="Separate", coap_server=None):
super(Separate, self).__init__(name, coap_server, visible=True, observable=True, allow_children=True)
self.payload = "Separate"
self.max_age = 60
def render_GET(self, request):
return self, self.render_GET_separate
def render_GET_separate(self, request):
time.sleep(5)
return self
def render_POST(self, request):
return self, self.render_POST_separate
def render_POST_separate(self, request):
self.payload = request.payload
return self
def render_PUT(self, request):
return self, self.render_PUT_separate
def render_PUT_separate(self, request):
self.payload = request.payload
return self
def render_DELETE(self, request):
return self, self.render_DELETE_separate
def render_DELETE_separate(self, request):
return True
```
### Advanced interface
Resources can be implemented also through a more advanced interface.
```Python
class AdvancedResource(Resource):
def __init__(self, name="Advanced"):
super(AdvancedResource, self).__init__(name)
self.payload = "Advanced resource"
def render_GET_advanced(self, request, response):
response.payload = self.payload
response.max_age = 20
response.code = defines.Codes.CONTENT.number
return self, response
def render_POST_advanced(self, request, response):
self.payload = request.payload
from coapthon.messages.response import Response
assert(isinstance(response, Response))
response.payload = "Response changed through POST"
response.code = defines.Codes.CREATED.number
return self, response
def render_PUT_advanced(self, request, response):
self.payload = request.payload
from coapthon.messages.response import Response
assert(isinstance(response, Response))
response.payload = "Response changed through PUT"
response.code = defines.Codes.CHANGED.number
return self, response
def render_DELETE_advanced(self, request, response):
response.payload = "Response deleted"
response.code = defines.Codes.DELETED.number
return True, response
```
### Separate mode with advanced interface
```Python
class AdvancedResourceSeparate(Resource):
def __init__(self, name="Advanced"):
super(AdvancedResourceSeparate, self).__init__(name)
self.payload = "Advanced resource"
def render_GET_advanced(self, request, response):
return self, response, self.render_GET_separate
def render_POST_advanced(self, request, response):
return self, response, self.render_POST_separate
def render_PUT_advanced(self, request, response):
return self, response, self.render_PUT_separate
def render_DELETE_advanced(self, request, response):
return self, response, self.render_DELETE_separate
def render_GET_separate(self, request, response):
time.sleep(5)
response.payload = self.payload
response.max_age = 20
return self, response
def render_POST_separate(self, request, response):
self.payload = request.payload
response.payload = "Response changed through POST"
return self, response
def render_PUT_separate(self, request, response):
self.payload = request.payload
response.payload = "Response changed through PUT"
return self, response
def render_DELETE_separate(self, request, response):
response.payload = "Response deleted"
return True, response
```
CoAP client
-----------
```Python
from coapthon.client.helperclient import HelperClient
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 5683
path ="basic"
client = HelperClient(server=(host, port))
response = client.get(path)
print response.pretty_print()
client.stop()
```
CoRE Resource Directory
------------
### Resource Directory server
You can start a CoRE Resource Directory server using ResourceDirectory class as follows:
```Python
from coapthon.resource_directory.resourceDirectory import ResourceDirectory
def main():
server = ResourceDirectory("127.0.0.1", 5683)
try:
server.listen(10)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "Server Shutdown"
server.close()
print "Exiting..."
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```
### Resource Directory client examples
```Python
def main():
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 5683
client = HelperClient(server=(host, port))
# Test discover
path = "/.well-known/core"
response = client.get(path)
print response.pretty_print()
# Create a registration resource
path = "rd?ep=node1&con=coap://local-proxy-old.example.com:5683&et=oic.d.sensor"
ct = {'content_type': defines.Content_types["application/link-format"]}
payload = ';ct=41;rt="temperature-c";if="sensor";anchor="coap://spurious.example.com:5683",' \
';ct=41;rt="light-lux";if="sensor"'
response = client.post(path, payload, None, None, **ct)
location_path = response.location_path
print response.pretty_print()
# Resource lookup
path = 'rd-lookup/res?if=sensor'
response = client.get(path)
print response.pretty_print()
# Update a registration resource
path = location_path + "?con=coaps://new.example.com:5684"
response = client.post(path, '')
print response.pretty_print()
# Read endpoint links
path = location_path
response = client.get(path)
print response.pretty_print()
# Endpoint lookup
path = 'rd-lookup/ep?et=oic.d.sensor'
response = client.get(path)
print response.pretty_print()
# Delete a registration resource
path = location_path
response = client.delete(path)
print response.pretty_print()
client.stop()
```
