Achitecture

The library has 3 main part:

  1. Supervisor. Lib uses PartitionSupervisor for creating worker from config
  2. Worker. Generating GPS with user config
  3. Callback module. This is defined by user to handle event from worker

installation

Installation

Library can be installed by adding location_simulator to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:location_simulator, "~> 0.3.0"}
  ]
end

If you need to modify source please go to Github and clone repo.

guide

Guide

Start LocationSimulator with default config:

LocationSimulator.start()

With default config simulator will print to Logger with default config

Start with your callback & config:

config =
    %{
      worker: 3,
      event: 100,
      interval: 1000,
      random_range: 0,
      direciton: :random,
      altitude: 100,
      altitude_way: :up,
      callback: MyCallbackModule
    }

LocationSimulator.start(config)

Simulator support directions:

:north, :south, :east, :west, :north_east, :north_west, :south_east, :south_west

If :direction is missed or equal :random, simulator will random a direction for each worker.

example

Example

Start library in Elixir's shell:

mix deps.get

iex -S mix

iex(1)> LocationSimulator.start()

For writing callback module please go to LocationSimulator.Event document.
