cookiecutter-homeassistant-component

A cookiecutter template for generating a new homeassistant custom component.

Features

• Generates the appropriate file structure for a minimal homeassistant custom component.
• Generates metadata to allow submission to HACS.
• Contains everything needed to get started with writing unit tests for your custom component.
• Contains an optional pre-commit config that mimics what the homeassistant core uses to help make your code compliant in case you want to eventually add it to the core codebase.

Installation

To get started you will need to install cookiecutter.

$ pip install cookiecutter

Then generate your custom component:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/boralyl/cookiecutter-homeassistant-component

Context Options

You will be asked to provide the following values to configure your component:

Field	Default	Description
domain	my_component	The domain name of your custom component.
name	My Component	The human readable name of your component.
docs_url	https://github.com/user/my_component/	The URL pointing to documentation for your component.
owner	@user	Your github username prefixed with @.
config_flow	yes	Signifies if your component will support configuring via the UI via config flow.
iot_class	Assumed State	The Internet of Things classification for your component. Read more in the Home Assistant documentation.

Pre-Commit

After your project is created a .pre-commit-config.yaml file is created in the root of your project.
This is completely optional, but will help you to conform you code to the homeassistant standards. The configuration matches that used by homeassistant/core.

To start using it first install pre-commit, then initialize it.

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit

This will cause pre-commit checks to be run prior to every commit. Any failed checks will prevent you from pushing your code.

$ git commit -a

Testing

After generating your project you can install the test requirements using pip:

$ pip install -r requirements.test.txt

Once the test requirements are installed you can run the test suite. A simple working test is provided out of the box.
