FIWARE - iotagent-node-lib support for ngsiVersion "ld"

Question

I am trying to create an IoT Agent that uses NGSI-LD northbound to interact with an NGSI-LD Context Broker (Scorpio in this case)

In the latest release of iotagent-node-lib (2.14.0) it looks like it only includes support for v1 and v2 interactions with a Context Broker, e.g. in the deviceService:

function createInitialEntity(deviceData, newDevice, callback) {
    if (config.checkNgsi2()) {
        createInitialEntityNgsi2(deviceData, newDevice, callback);
    } else {
        createInitialEntityNgsi1(deviceData, newDevice, callback);
    }
}

but in the master branch it looks like there is support for v1, v2, mixed mode and ngsi-ld, e.g:

function init() {
    switch (config.ngsiVersion()) {
        case 'ld':
            deviceHandler = require('./devices-NGSI-LD');
            break;
        case 'v2':
            deviceHandler = require('./devices-NGSI-v2');
            break;
        case 'mixed':
            deviceHandler = require('./devices-NGSI-mixed');
            break;
        default:
            deviceHandler = require('./devices-NGSI-v1');
    }
}
function createInitialEntity(deviceData, newDevice, callback) {
    deviceHandler.createInitialEntity(deviceData, newDevice, callback);
}

Can you say when a release will include support for ngsi-ld interactions with context brokers? Thanks!

Indeed, NGSI-LD support has been merged recently into the main branch of the IoT Agent node lib. So you will already have it if you use the master version of the lib in your IoT Agent.

There should have an official patch release (tagged FIWARE_7.9.1) by the end of the year.
