Unfortunately Phant, our data-streaming service, is no longer in service and has been discontinued. The system has reached capacity and, like a less-adventurous Cassini, has plunged conclusively into a fiery and permanent retirement. There are several other maker-friendly, data-streaming services and/or IoT platforms available as alternatives. The three we recommend are Blynk, ThingSpeak, and Cayenne. You can read our blog post on the topic for an overview and helpful links for each platform.
All secondary SparkFun repositories related to Phant have been archived and pulled in as a subtree in the main Phant GitHub repository.
express based manager module for phant
This section outlines how to quickly get this package up and running with the phant module.
- open: https://data.sparkfun.com/config
- under Add Manager select HTTP. This will add a new section below called Manager - HTTP
- modify any other settings you desire. Likely this is OK as-is to get started
- select Download Package. Avoid Publish to NPM unless you know what you are doing.
- unpack the downloaded package
- go to the package you downloaded:
cd phantconfig-custom. - do:
npm install
This example assumes you configured the module to use port 8080. If you have changed the HTTP port, replace 8080 with the port you chose.
- do:
npm start - open: http://localhost:8080/
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
