Adaptor Registry

What is the AdaptorRegistry?​

The AdaptorRegistry is a manager that keeps track of all your SDK adaptors. It tells CDF which adaptor to use when your app starts and can switch between adaptors at runtime.

Simple job: Register adaptors → pick one to be active → CDF uses it

You need it when:

  • Starting your app (register adaptors before initCDF)
  • Supporting multiple SDKs at the same time
  • Building a custom adaptor for a backend that CDF doesn't support yet

API at a glance​

MethodPurpose
getInstance()Get the singleton registry
register(adaptor)Add an adaptor (identified by _identifier)
setActiveAdaptor(identifier)Choose which adaptor to use
getActiveAdaptor()Get the active adaptor instance
getAdaptor(identifier)Get a specific adaptor without switching
getActiveAdaptorIdentifier()Get the active adaptor's ID
getRegisteredAdaptorIdentifiers()List all registered IDs
unregister(identifier)Remove an adaptor
clear()Remove all adaptors and reset

Basic Setup​

Minimal: Register RainMaker Base SDK​

import { AdaptorRegistry, initCDF } from "@espressif/rainmaker-base-cdf";
import { ESPRMBaseSDKAdaptor, ESPRMBaseAdaptorIdentifier } from "@sdk-adaptors/ESPRMBase";

const registry = AdaptorRegistry.getInstance();

// Register RainMaker Base SDK adaptor
registry.register(
  new ESPRMBaseSDKAdaptor({
    baseUrl: "https://api.rainmaker.espressif.com",
    region: "us-east-1",
    // Add other SDK config as needed
  })
);

// Set as active
registry.setActiveAdaptor(ESPRMBaseAdaptorIdentifier);

// Initialize CDF
const cdf = await initCDF({ sdkAdaptorRegistry: registry });

Production: Multiple adaptors with a factory​

For real apps supporting multiple SDKs, use a factory and bootstrap service. See the RainMaker Home app for the complete pattern:

import { AdaptorRegistry, initCDF } from "@espressif/rainmaker-base-cdf";
import { ESPRMBaseSDKAdaptor, ESPRMBaseAdaptorIdentifier } from "@sdk-adaptors/ESPRMBase";
import { ESPRMMatterBaseSDKAdaptor, ESPRMMatterBaseAdaptorIdentifier } from "@sdk-adaptors/ESPRMMatterBase";
import { getResolvedActiveSdk, getRMSDKConfig, getMatterSDKConfig } from "@config/sdk.config";

/**
 * Factory that instantiates all adaptors.
 * Add new adaptors here as integrations are added.
 */
class AdaptorFactory {
    createAll() {
        return [
            new ESPRMBaseSDKAdaptor(getRMSDKConfig()),
            new ESPRMMatterBaseSDKAdaptor(getMatterSDKConfig()),
        ];
    }
}

/**
 * Bootstrap service — handles registry setup and CDF initialization.
 * Singleton so you initialize once and reuse throughout the app.
 */
class CDFBootstrap {
    private static instance: CDFBootstrap;
    private cdfInstance = null;
    private sdkRegistry = AdaptorRegistry.getInstance();

    static getInstance(factory = new AdaptorFactory()) {
        if (!CDFBootstrap.instance) {
            CDFBootstrap.instance = new CDFBootstrap(factory);
        }
        return CDFBootstrap.instance;
    }

    async initialize() {
        const adaptors = this.adaptorFactory.createAll();
        
        // Register all adaptors
        adaptors.forEach(adaptor => {
            this.sdkRegistry.register(adaptor);
        });
        
        // Set the active one
        this.sdkRegistry.setActiveAdaptor(getResolvedActiveSdk());
        
        // Initialize CDF
        this.cdfInstance = await initCDF({ sdkAdaptorRegistry: this.sdkRegistry });
        return this.cdfInstance;
    }
}

// In your app entry point, call once:
export async function initializeApp() {
    const cdf = await CDFBootstrap.getInstance().initialize();
    // Now use cdf throughout your app
}

Switch adaptors at runtime​

const registry = AdaptorRegistry.getInstance();
registry.setActiveAdaptor("matter-sdk");  // Switches immediately
// Your UI sees the new adaptor's data next

How the Registry Works​

First, understand the architecture. Here's how adaptors and the registry fit together:

Proxy error surfacing​

When a registered adaptor does not implement a method, the registry proxy throws a structured ESPCDFRegistryError with code ADAPTOR_METHOD_PROPERTY_NOT_IMPLEMENTED — failing early rather than silently returning undefined. This surfaces missing implementations during development instead of at runtime.

Build Your Own Adaptor​

An adaptor implements ESPSDKAdaptor. Key rules:

  1. Every method returns { status, data, error } — Never raw SDK objects
  2. Use transformers — Convert SDK entities to CDF entities with operations
  3. _identifier must be unique — Used in setActiveAdaptor()

Pattern:

import { ESPSDKAdaptor } from "@espressif/rainmaker-base-cdf";
import MySDK from "my-custom-sdk";
import { transformToMyCDFUser } from "./transformers";

export class MySDKAdaptor implements ESPSDKAdaptor {
  _identifier = "my-custom-sdk";

  constructor(config: any) {
    MySDK.init(config);
  }

  async login(input: any) {
    const sdkUser = await MySDK.auth.login(input.request.username, input.request.password);
    return { status: "success", data: transformToMyCDFUser(sdkUser) };
  }

  async getCurrentLoggedInUser() {
    const sdkUser = await MySDK.auth.getCurrentUser();
    return { status: "success", data: transformToMyCDFUser(sdkUser) };
  }

  // Implement all other required methods (see TypeDoc)
}

Refer to the RainMaker Base Adaptor for a complete implementation.

Create a Transformer​

A transformer converts SDK data to CDF entities and wires up operations:

import { ESPCDFUser } from "@espressif/rainmaker-base-cdf";

export function transformToMyCDFUser(sdkUser: any) {
  return new ESPCDFUser({
    userInfo: {
      id: sdkUser.userId,
      name: sdkUser.fullName,
      email: sdkUser.email,
    },
    operations: {
      async getUserInfo() {
        return { status: "success", data: await sdkUser.getProfile() };
      },
      async logout() {
        await sdkUser.logout();
      },
    },
    _raw: sdkUser,  // Keep original SDK object
    identifier: "my-custom-sdk",
  });
}

Three steps:

  1. Map SDK fields to CDF fields
  2. Wire operations that call the SDK
  3. Store the original SDK object in _raw

For every interface method and transformer detail, refer to the TypeScript API (TypeDoc).
