upload-entity-definitions

Description

Asynchronously uploads one or more entity definitions to the user’s namespace. The document parameter is required if syncWithPublicNamespace and deleteExistingEntites are false. If the syncWithPublicNamespace parameter is set to true , the user’s namespace will synchronize with the latest version of the public namespace. If deprecateExistingEntities is set to true, all entities in the latest version will be deleted before the new DefinitionDocument is uploaded.

When a user uploads entity definitions for the first time, the service creates a new namespace for the user. The new namespace tracks the public namespace. Currently users can have only one namespace. The namespace version increments whenever a user uploads entity definitions that are backwards-incompatible and whenever a user sets the syncWithPublicNamespace parameter or the deprecateExistingEntities parameter to true .

The IDs for all of the entities should be in URN format. Each entity must be in the user’s namespace. Users can’t create entities in the public namespace, but entity definitions can refer to entities in the public namespace.

Valid entities are Device , DeviceModel , Service , Capability , State , Action , Event , Property , Mapping , Enum .

Synopsis

  upload-entity-definitions
[--document <value>]
[--sync-with-public-namespace | --no-sync-with-public-namespace]
[--deprecate-existing-entities | --no-deprecate-existing-entities]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--document (structure)

The DefinitionDocument that defines the updated entities.

language -> (string)

The language used to define the entity. GRAPHQL is the only valid value.

text -> (string)

The GraphQL text that defines the entity.

Shorthand Syntax:

language=string,text=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "language": "GRAPHQL",
  "text": "string"
}

--sync-with-public-namespace | --no-sync-with-public-namespace (boolean)

A Boolean that specifies whether to synchronize with the latest version of the public namespace. If set to true , the upload will create a new namespace version.

--deprecate-existing-entities | --no-deprecate-existing-entities (boolean)

A Boolean that specifies whether to deprecate all entities in the latest version before uploading the new DefinitionDocument . If set to true , the upload will create a new namespace version.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To upload entity definitions

The following upload-entity-definitions example uploads entity definitions to your namespace. The value of MyEntityDefinitions is the GraphQL that models the entities.

aws iotthingsgraph upload-entity-definitions \
    --document language=GRAPHQL,text="MyEntityDefinitions"

Output:

{
    "uploadId": "f6294f1e-b109-4bbe-9073-f451a2dda2da"
}

For more information, see Modeling Entities in the AWS IoT Things Graph User Guide.

Output

uploadId -> (string)

The ID that specifies the upload action. You can use this to track the status of the upload.
