Console command wifi

The component offers a console with a command that enables runtime wifi configuration for any example project.

API

Steps to enable console in an example code:

1. Add this component to your project using idf.py add-dependency command.
2. In the main file of the example, add the following line:

   #include "console_wifi.h"

3. Ensure esp-netif and NVS flash is initialized and default event loop is created in your app_main():

   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_netif_init());
   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_loop_create_default());
   esp_err_t ret = nvs_flash_init();   //Initialize NVS
   if (ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NO_FREE_PAGES || ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NEW_VERSION_FOUND) {
       ESP_ERROR_CHECK(nvs_flash_erase());
       ret = nvs_flash_init();
   }
   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);

4. In your app_main() function, add the following line as the last line:

   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_init());     // Initialize console
   
   // Register all plugin command added to your project
   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_all_register());
   
   // To register only wifi command skip calling console_cmd_all_register()
   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_wifi_register());
   
   ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_start());    // Start console
