YANG models in lighty.io

YANG 1.0 and YANG 1.1 models are essential part of programming for OpenDaylight model-driven architecture. Standardized yang models are already available as maven artifacts as part of OpenDaylight project. To mention just some:

In case your project requires special Yang model or needs to alter existing one, follow procedures below or check links below for YANG repositories.

Create and deploy own YANG model

This guide explains in detail how to create your own Yang model, use it in lighty.io project and add it into LightyController global schema context.

1. Write your own YANG model

It is as simple as creating own text file my-model.yang with content:

module my-model.yang {

  yang-version 1.1;
  namespace "urn:example:my-model";
  prefix "mymodel";
  revision 2018-09-14;

  container device {
    list server {
      key name;
      leaf name {
        type string;
      }
    }
  }

}

2. Create maven project for your model

Bare yang file can not be used without generating java bindings for it. OepnDaylighty provides for this purpose maven plugin which makes this step really easy. Generated java binding code is used in your projects, so you can access model nad DataStore in type safe way.

  • Create maven project structure:
my-model/src/main/yang/my-model.yang
my-model/pom.xml
  • Content of pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>
        <groupId>io.lighty.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>lighty-binding-parent</artifactId>
        <version>16.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <relativePath/>
    </parent>

    <groupId>org.mygroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-model</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

</project>

3. Add your model into global schema context

On LightyController startup, it is necessary to register all YANG models with dependencies. This is how you do it:

  • Add dependency on model artifact into your controller project pom.xml
  <dependecy>
    <groupId>org.mygroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-model</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependecy>
  • Use generated java bindings in LightyController initialization.
import io.lighty.core.controller.api.LightyController;
import io.lighty.core.controller.impl.LightyControllerBuilder;
import io.lighty.core.controller.impl.config.ControllerConfiguration;
import io.lighty.core.controller.impl.util.ControllerConfigUtils;
import org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.YangModuleInfo;

public class Main {

    private static final Set<YangModuleInfo> MY_MODELS = ImmutableSet.of(
            org.opendaylight.yang.gen.v1.urn.example.my.model.rev180914.$YangModuleInfoImpl.getInstance()
    );

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ControllerConfiguration controllerConfiguration = ControllerConfigUtils
                .getDefaultSingleNodeConfiguration(MY_MODELS);
        LightyController lightyController = new LightyControllerBuilder()
                .from(controllerConfiguration)
                .build();
        lightyController
                .start()
                .get();
    }

}
