This Mongoose OS app shows how to start a device in Access Point mode (AP) and configure Station mode via simple Web UI.
This page communicates with the device via Mongoose OS RPC mechanism using HTTP/RESTful as a transport protocol. A small JavaScript library, zepto, is used as a drop-in replacement for jQuery, for making AJAX calls to the device.
Open fs/index.html, or right-click on this page and
choose "view source".
First, this web page makes a call to the
http://DEVICE_IP/rpc/Config.Get RESTful endpoint, which
triggers Config.Get RPC service and returns a large JSON
object (click here to see) with full device configuration. From that object, we take
WiFi SSID and password, and stick them into the text inputs.
Second, we install a button click handler, which grabs values from the
text inputs, creates a JSON string with the device configuration subtree
that Config.Set RPC call expects,
and calls a /rpc/Config.Set endpoint.
Similarly, you can call any other RPC service that device has. Call
RPC.List to get a list of all RPC services available.
