[UPDATE] node-red-contrib-particle v1.0.0

Share Your Nodes
1

updated to v0.2.1 v1.0.0:

For changelog and other details, please refer to the github repo:

I've been maintaining this set of nodes since 2015 that simplify the connection between Particle devices and Node-RED, mainly for my teaching and research purposes. I reckon it has gone through sufficient rounds of tests in my classrooms and feedback for me to post this announcement here :slight_smile:

This new update has breaking changes (sorry), adopts the Particle JS API, has Product support, and introduces a Utility node for testing and retrieving device information. Please refer to changelog and readme for more details.

If you are upgrading the package, please note dependencies have changed. A normal npm install in your node-red-contrib-particle folder should do the trick. Re-install the node if it's giving you issues. Due to the breaking changes, your existing Particle nodes will have to be set up again.

Cheers

In which case, the version number ought to be bumped to 1.x.x.

See semver.org for details on how semantic versioning works.

Strictly I don't think that is true while it is still at v0.x is it? I thought the idea was that until you go to v1 it is still in Beta so anything may change.

Strictly yes.

How many nodes are published at a 0.x version and make clear they are still betas and could make breaking changes at any time?

How many Node-RED users, who don't know the details of semver, understand that subtly?

@knolleary agreed. I think many projects delay going to v1 longer than is desirable. Once something is working well and there are not expected to be breaking changes regularly then I think they should go to v1.

....like node-RED??...:sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

I couldn't possibly comment.

Gosh I might have opened up a can of worms... or perhaps left the can opener right next to the can...

In any case, following proper semver practice I have bumped the version up to v1.0.0.

That v1 label though... for an open source contribution... not something I am used to!

I assume you are both familiar with our roadmap to 1.0 which sets out what we're doing to get to that milestone.
