A mashup tool for quick Web of Things prototypes with the EVRYTHNG API.

#WoT-a-Mashup!

A Physical Mashup Tool with EVRYTHNG support!

WoT-a-Mashup is a mashup tool for the Internet of Things and the Web of Things. It was the first tool of this kind and is built around the idea of Physical Mashups.

It is based on the great ClickScript Javascript mashup tool, and integrates direct support for the EVRYTHNG Web of Things API into Clickscript as a showcase of how EVRYTHNG makes it easy build Web of Things apps.

The forks adds:

• 2 EVYTHNG modules, one for reading Thng properties, one for updating them.
• A Node.js proxy to circumvent the Javascript cross-domain restrictions.

Useful if:

• You have real-world objects (e.g., a temperature sensor, a connected product) connected to EVRYTHNG and want to involve them in crazy mashups/applications within seconds!

Install

Prerequisites

• node.js
• Firefox (many things won't work with Chrome...)
• A (free!) EVRYTHNG API account, API key and an existing Thng with properties (see the API doc)

Cloning the repository

git clone [email protected]:webofthings/ClickScript.git

Setting up the Node.js proxy

cd proxy
sudo npm install

Configure your EVRYTHNG API key

In

cs/system/ConfigController.js

add your EVRYTHNG API key and the id of the Thng you want to include in your mashups:

evrythng : {key : "YOUR-KEY", thng : "YOUR-THNG-ID", proxyUrl : "http://localhost:8001"}

Get started

cd proxy
node proxy.js

Browse to:

Writing your own module

You can create you own mashup modules (little boxes) by

The two EVRYTHNG modules are the last ones on the Clickscript IDE module bar! Enjoy!
