barterer
========
__barterer__ is an API for the real-time location, identification and sensing of wireless devices, and a core module of [Pareto Anywhere](https://www.reelyactive.com/pareto/anywhere/) open source IoT middleware.
Specifically, __barterer__ provides a vendor-and-technology-agnostic IoT API when coupled with live data from a [barnacles](https://github.com/reelyactive/barnacles/) instance and optional [chimps](https://github.com/reelyactive/chimps/) instance. __barterer__ can run standalone, although it is usually run together with its peer modules.
Installation
------------
npm install barterer
Hello barterer!
---------------
npm start
Browse to [localhost:3001/devices/001bc50940810000/1](http://localhost:3001/devices/001bc50940810000/1) to see if there are any associations for the device with EUI-64 identifier 00-1b-c5-09-40-81-00-00. By default, this should return Not Found.
REST API
--------
### GET /devices
Retrieve all active devices.
#### Example request
| Method | Route | Content-Type |
|:-------|:---------|:-----------------|
| GET | /devices | application/json |
#### Example response
{
"_meta": {
"message": "ok",
"statusCode": 200

Socket.IO
---------
When initialised with a Socket.IO server as an option, __barterer__ supports the following namespaces:
- /devices
- /devices/raddec
- /devices/dynamb
- /devices/spatem
- /devices/{id}/{type}
- /devices/{id}/{type}/raddec
- /devices/{id}/{type}/dynamb
- /devices/{id}/{type}/spatem
raddec, dynamb and spatem events are emitted except for namespaces ending with /raddec, /dynamb or /spatem, in which case only the specified event is emitted. For an example of the raddec, dynamb JSON structures, consult the [reelyActive Developer's Cheatsheet](https://reelyactive.github.io/diy/cheatsheet/) as well as the sample response of the REST API above.
What's in a name?
-----------------
Barter is a system of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money. Seems fitting for an API in an open Internet of Things.
Why is barterer represented by a starfish? Well, in our software architecture, barterer consumes data from barnacles, and in nature, starfish consume barnacles. One such example is the species [Pisaster ochraceus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisaster_ochraceus). And, as Wikipedia states, "while most individuals are purple, they can be orange, orange-ochre, yellow, reddish, or brown". Orange was the only colour in the reelyActive palette which fit, so there you have it, an orange starfish.
If we stretch the story even further, the initials of Pisaster Ochraceus (PO) are the same as the architect of our original API (P-O). That API was named bartender, but alas, that name had already been claimed on npmjs, and so we exchanged it for barterer (pun intended, as usual).
Why is the starfish holding scales with a one and a zero? Because he's bartering digital information of course!
