README

vestaboard-rs

vestaboard-rs is a VBML (Vestaboard Markup Language) parser and api client for the Vestaboard. It supports the v2 read/write api, subscription api, and local api.

the full docs can be found at https://docs.rs/vestaboard

features

  • VBML parser
  • read/write api
  • subscription api
  • local api
  • serialization and deserialization of Vestaboard messages
  • async/await
  • support for multiple Vestaboard sizes (if another size is released)

installation

cargo add vestaboard -F full

feature flags

  • full: enables all features
  • parser: enables the VBML parser (Vestaboard Markup Language) (default)
  • rw: enables the read/write api
  • subscription: enables the subscription api
  • local: enables the local api

helpful type and structs

  • board::FLAGSHIP_ROWS and board::FLAGSHIP_COLS: the dimensions of the flagship Vestaboard
  • board::Board<ROWS, COLS>: a type equivalent to [[u8; COLS]; ROWS] which represents a Vestaboard state
  • BoardData<ROWS, COLS>: a struct that wraps a Board<ROWS, COLS> and has several helper methods
  • VBML: a struct that represents a VBML message and can be parsed into a BoardData<ROWS, COLS>
  • Vestaboard<Config>: the main struct that is used to interact with the Vestaboard api

VBML usage

with ROWS and COLS specified:

let string = "{\"props\":{},\"style\":{},\"components\":[]}"; // any valid VBML string
let vbml: Vbml<6, 22> = string.parse().unwrap();

let board_data: Result<BoardData<6, 22>, VbmlError> = vbml.parse();

when ROWS and COLS are not specified, the default is board::FLAGSHIP_ROWS and board::FLAGSHIP_COLS:

let string = "{\"props\":{},\"style\":{},\"components\":[]}"; // any valid VBML string
let vbml: Vbml = string.parse().unwrap();

let board_data: Result<BoardData, VbmlError> = vbml.parse();

api usage

use vestaboard::{Vestaboard, RWConfig, SubscriptionConfig, LocalConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let rw_config = RWConfig { read_write_key: "<YOUR_RW_API_KEY>" };
  let rw_api: Vestaboard<RWConfig> = Vestaboard::new_rw_api(rw_config);

  let subscription_config = SubscriptionConfig {
    api_key: "<YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_API_KEY>",
    api_secret: "<YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_API_SECRET>",
  };
  let subscription_api: Vestaboard<SubscriptionConfig> = Vestaboard::new_subscription_api(subscription_config);

  let local_config = LocalConfig {
    api_key: "<YOUR_LOCAL_API_KEY>",
    host: "<YOUR_VESTABOARD_IP_ADDRESS>",
  };
  let local_api: Vestaboard<LocalConfig> = Vestaboard::new_local_api(local_config);
}

(note that you must have the Vestaboard<Config> type specified due to this rust issue)

read/write api

use vestaboard::{Vestaboard, RWConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let rw_config = RWConfig { read_write_key: "<YOUR_RW_API_KEY>" };
  let rw_api: Vestaboard<RWConfig> = Vestaboard::new_rw_api(rw_config);

  let message: Result<RWApiReadMessage, RWApiError> = rw_api.read().await;
  let write_res: Result<String, RWApiError> = rw_api.write(BoardData<ROWS, COLS>).await;
}

subscription api

use vestaboard::{Vestaboard, SubscriptionConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let subscription_config = SubscriptionConfig {
    api_key: "<YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_API_KEY>",
    api_secret: "<YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_API_SECRET>",
  };
  let subscription_api: Vestaboard<SubscriptionConfig> = Vestaboard::new_subscription_api(subscription_config);

  let subscriptions: Result<SubscriptionsList, SubscriptionApiError> = subscription_api.get_subscriptions().await;
  let write_res: Result<SubscriptionMessageResponse, SubscriptionApiError> = subscription_api.write(BoardData<ROWS, COLS>).await;
}

local api

use vestaboard::{Vestaboard, LocalConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  // if you have not enabled the local api, you can use the following method to do so.
  // note that the local api can only be enabled once per board, so make sure to save
  // the resulting api key. to get the enablement token, visit https://www.vestaboard.com/local-api
  let local_api_enablement: Result<String, LocalApiError> = Vestaboard.get_local_api_key(
      Some("<YOUR_VESTABOARD_IP_ADDRESS>".parse().unwrap()),
      "<YOUR_LOCAL_API_ENABLEMENT_KEY>",
    ).await;

  let local_config = LocalConfig {
    api_key: "<YOUR_LOCAL_API_KEY>",
    ip_address: "<YOUR_VESTABOARD_IP_ADDRESS>".parse().unwrap(),
  };

  let local_api: Vestaboard<LocalConfig> = Vestaboard::new_local_api(local_config);

  let message: Result<BoardData<ROWS, COLS>, LocalApiError> = local_api.read().await;
  let write_res: Result<(), LocalApiError> = local_api.write(BoardData<ROWS, COLS>).await;
}

benchmarks

this library is set up to be benchmarked against the official JavaScript VBML parsing library. benchmarks can be run using just with the following command:

there is definitely further room for optimization, but the current performance is decent.
