[FR] Add-on repository? #114

Closed Niek closed 1 year ago

Niek commented 1 year ago

Thanks for this great project!

Would it be possible to make this available as a regular add-on to HA (without the need for HACS or a manual install)?

Hi @Niek, This is not an add-on, it doesn‘t run in a separate Docker container as add-ons do. This is just a JavaScript file that should be registered as a resource in lovelace dashboards. Hence, you do this manually, or through HACS that does exactly the same but with an automatic process and notifying you about updates. Regards

Thanks @elchininet - I am aware that it's a super easy (manual) install. I was wondering if it's possible to "abuse" the supervisor or REST API to inject the JS file programatically, so the install&update process is even easier. Glancing over the API docs, it's not so easy though. Thanks again!

Yes @Niek, Each approach serves to different purposes, If would like to make a container to expose an API, interact with HA supervisor, serve an UI end-point to expose it through ingress, etc, an add-on is the way to go. But for injecting a JavaScript file into the lovelace views this is the approach that HA has implemented. Welcome!
