Group Metadata

This section covers operations to manage group metadata and custom data. These operations are performed using an ESPRMGroup instance.

note

To get a group instance, first get the user instance using ESPRMAuth.getLoggedInUser, then use getGroupById or getGroupByName:

try {
  const authInstance = ESPRMBase.getAuthInstance();
  const userInstance = await authInstance.getLoggedInUser();
  
  if (userInstance) {
    // Get group by ID
    const group = await userInstance.getGroupById({
      groupId: "group_id_123"
    });
    
    // Or get group by name
    // const group = await userInstance.getGroupByName({
    //   groupName: "Living Room Devices"
    // });
  } else {
    console.log("No user is currently logged in");
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error getting group:", error);
}

Update Metadata

To update the metadata of the current group, use the updateMetadata method.

try {
  const metadata = {
    room: "kitchen",
    floor: 1,
    lastUpdated: new Date().toISOString()
  };
  
  const response = await group.updateMetadata(metadata);
  console.log("Metadata updated successfully:", response);
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error updating metadata:", error);
}
