Define an Asset model #

To define an Asset model, we need to register it on the framework.

A model is declared with the following information:

• tenant group allowed to use the model
• model name
• accepted measures
• metadata

We will define an Asset model of name Room which accept a temperature measure and a metadata indicating in which building the room is located.

An example of the complete implementation can be found in the apps/api/lib/modules/assets/ directory

For this, we will use the Device Manager plugin:

Copied to clipboard!

import { DeviceManagerPlugin } from 'kuzzle-device-manager';

const deviceManager = app.plugin.get<DeviceManagerPlugin>('device-manager');

deviceManager.models.registerAsset('smartcity', 'Room', {
  measures: [
    {
      name: 'temperature',
      type: 'temperature',
    },
  ],
  metadataMapping: {
    building: { type: 'keyword' },
  },
});
