rust-ocpp

The rust-ocpp libs implements the Open Charge Point Protocol used in charging stations. You can read more on the official Open Charge Alliance website.

OCPP versions v1.6, v2.0.1, and v2.1 are implemented and validated using the official json schemas from Open Charge Alliance.

You can find the tests in schema_validation.rs for all supported versions.

How to Use

Add rust-ocpp as a dependency in your Cargo.toml. Note that there is no default version - you must explicitly specify which OCPP version(s) you want to use via feature flags.

[dependencies]
rust-ocpp = "3.0"

To use a specific version, specify it with a feature flag:

[dependencies]
rust-ocpp = { version = "2.0", features = ["v1_6"] }  # For OCPP 1.6
rust-ocpp = { version = "2.0", features = ["v2_0_1"] }  # For OCPP 2.0.1
rust-ocpp = { version = "2.0", features = ["v2_1"] }  # For OCPP 2.1

You can also use multiple versions:

[dependencies]
rust-ocpp = { version = "2.0", features = ["v2_0_1", "v2_1"] }

How to Build

To build the rust-ocpp library, you need to have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. You can install them by following the instructions provided at the official Rust website.

Once you have Rust and Cargo installed, you can build the library using the following steps:

1. Clone the rust-ocpp repository:

   git clone https://github.com/codelabsab/rust-ocpp.git

2. Change into the rust-ocpp directory:

   cd rust-ocpp

3. Build the library using Cargo for all versions:

   cargo build --all-features

   This command will compile the library and its dependencies. If the build is successful, you will find the compiled artifacts in the target/debug directory.

4. Run the tests on all versions:

   cargo test --all-features
   

   This command will execute the tests for all OCPP versions. If all tests pass, it means that the library is functioning correctly.

5. Build a specific version:

   To build a specific version of rust-ocpp, you can use the appropriate feature flag when running the build command. For example, to build v1_6:

   cargo build --features v1_6

   To build v2_0_1:

   cargo build --features v2_0_1

   To build v2_1:

   cargo build --features v2_1

6. (Optional) Build for release:

   If you want to build the library for release, with optimizations enabled, you can use the following command:

   cargo build --features v2_0_1 --release

   The release build will produce optimized artifacts in the target/release directory.

7. (Optional) Install the library:

   If you want to install the library globally on your system, you can use the following command:

   cargo install --path .

   This command will compile the library and its dependencies and install it in the Cargo binary directory, so you can use it as a dependency in other projects.

That's it! You have successfully built the rust-ocpp library. If you encounter any issues during the build process, please check the project's issue tracker on GitHub or open a new issue for assistance.

Testing

rust-ocpp provides testing against json schemas for all supported OCPP versions. To run the tests, you can use Cargo's built-in test runner.

Running Tests

To run the tests for a specific version, use the appropriate feature flag:

cargo test --features v1_6      # For OCPP 1.6 tests
cargo test --features v2_0_1    # For OCPP 2.0.1 tests
cargo test --features v2_1      # For OCPP 2.1 tests

To run all tests for all versions:

cargo test --all-features

Releasing a new version

1. Update the version of the library and push the changes to the main branch.
2. Create a new release on GitHub with the new version number and some release notes (optional).

This will trigger the publish workflow which will publish the new version to crates.io.
