CoAP

[JakeHartnell]

Support for connecting devices over the CoAP protocol.

Why CoAP?

• It's a standard, and way nicer to work with than MQTT
• Makes it easy to work with hardware platforms like particle, etc.

The npm coap library should be useful.

There is some experimental server code for this in imports/api/coap/coap.js

There is also example 'client' code in the Thing.js coap branch: https://github.com/CommonGarden/Thing.js/tree/coap

I will pay bounties for meaningful progress on this issue. Do a good job and get a bounty and maybe even... a job. 😉

The easiest way to start developing such a thing would be with tests! You don't need any devices to work on this issue.

Largely completed on development. Still need to utilize coap in more examples, and write some tests.
