Decide how to integrate the framework in new projects about esp8266-iot-framework HOT 5 CLOSED

I changed the repository to work as a PlatformIO library, while maintaining the possibility to work directly from a clone in pull request #19.

The documentation is updated accordingly.

Only thing I still need to do is to add it to the library manager from PlatformIO.

Let me know if you have any feedback, ideas or issues!

See this location for the published package :).

Found this project while searching for certificate solutions on ESP(8266) and I'm thinking about adopting it for a project. Thanks for the great work!

Going to brain dump here for a moment.

I think there are roughly 3 options:

• Move the general framework into the lib directory (or a sub-directory) and call the respective "lib_setup" and "lib_loop" functions from the library
• Create a separate app directory within the src directory with a separate app.cpp or main.cpp "app_setup" and "app_loop" that get called from the main setup and loop
• Make this into a fully fledged library and provide config macro checks for overriding specific files with custom files

File generation/customization could easily be filtered through the PIO include directory, but I don't know how much complexity this would bring.

I think this could easily be used as a template project or with a project tool, much like create-react-app.

To me, it would be nice to have this as a library, which could just be invoked as a class instance.

The Platform IO library is interesting, I'm not very familiar with that option. From glancing at the documentation it looks like that'd mean adding a few files to this repo (and then registering with them I assume).

What would it look like for people who want to use this project in their own code? Guessing it'd be to add it via lib_deps?

They would indeed simply add it via lib_deps. For me this also seems the best approach when using PlatformIO.

I will try this out in a branch to see what is needed and if all the pre-build functions of the framework could be implemented within a library as well. Expect a branch somewhere in the coming days.
