`@sebbo2002/vestaboard`

<br />

Just another client for the Vestaboard APIs. It supports the Subscription API, Read/Write API and the Local API. Written in Typescript.

The library also provides a small collection of helpers to format messages on the Vestaboard. This includes a write() method that automatically wraps text, a fill() method to fill the board with nice characters, or table() to conjure up a table on the board.

📦 Installation

npm i --save @sebbo2002/vestaboard

⚡️ Quick Start

Draw some patterns using the Subscription API

import { SubscriptionAPI, Message } from '@sebbo2002/vestaboard';
const api = new SubscriptionAPI(
    '3eadf7a8-6602-4bf5-92f4-970d36066958',
    '******************************',
);
const msg = new Message().fill('🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪');

api.postMessage(msg);

Write a calendar on a local Vestaboard

import { LocalAPI, Message } from '@sebbo2002/vestaboard';
const api = new LocalAPI('***');
const msg = new Message().table([
    ['now', 'Daily'],
    ['13:00', 'Super Secret Meeting'],
    ['16:30', 'Awesome Presentation'],
]);

api.postMessage(msg);

Write Hello World on multiple local boards

import { MultipleBoards, LocalAPI, Message } from '@sebbo2002/vestaboard';
const board1 = new LocalAPI('***');
const board2 = new LocalAPI('***');
const boards = new MultipleBoards([board1, board2]);

boards.postMessage('Hello World');
