ardunno-cli

nice-grpc API for the Arduino CLI.

The CLI API code in this repository is generated from the .proto files of the Arduino CLI. The API is compatible with the Arduino CLI version pinned in arduino-cli.version. This project uses ardunno-cli-gen for the API generation.

Installing

npm i ardunno-cli --save

Usage

TypeScript:

import { createChannel, createClient } from 'nice-grpc'
import { ArduinoCoreServiceDefinition } from 'ardunno-cli'

JavaScript:

const { createChannel, createClient } = require('nice-grpc')
const { ArduinoCoreServiceDefinition } = require('ardunno-cli')

Create a gRPC client:

Requires a running Arduino CLI daemon to connect to.

% ./arduino-cli daemon --port 50051 --format json
{
  "IP": "127.0.0.1",
  "Port": "50051"
}

const channel = createChannel('localhost:50051')
const client = createClient(ArduinoCoreServiceDefinition, channel)

Create:

Creates a new Arduino Core instance.

const { instance } = await client.create({})

Initialize:

Initializes an existing Arduino Core instance by loading platforms and libraries.

for await (const { message } of client.init({ instance })) {
  switch (message.$case) {
    case 'error':
      throw new Error(message.error)
  }
}

Search platforms:

const { searchOutput } = await client.platformSearch({
  instance,
  searchArgs: 'SAMD',
})
searchOutput.forEach(({ id, latest }) => console.log(`${id}@${latest}`))

// arduino:samd@1.8.13
// Arrow:samd@2.1.0
// industruino:samd@1.0.1

Configuration

The API contains typing and a JSON schema for the Arduino CLI configuration.
