This PR converts the
nodeIdvariable used in scene apps from astringto atype NodeId* = distinct int. Comparing and passing integers around should be simpler and faster than strings. We also reduce the app's memory footprint (more efficiency), making it more possible to run on ESP-style devices.Sadly this requires changing every app, including those created in the interface.
Happily, I have added a migration that does most changes automatically. Yet there may be some custom apps created by users that use this
nodeIdin different ways than I had in mind. For this latter group, I apologise for the disruption this brings. I'm going to try really hard not to have breaking changes in FrameOS, but a change like this seems necessary and will be worse later though, so... 🙃.If you upgrade via docker, everything should be fine. If you're running FrameOS manually, run
flask db upgradeafter merging in the new changes.Scene source before:
