Tutorial seems from 2020, how much has changed?

Open chbndrhnns opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi there,

I wanted to dig into custom components a bit and found your extensive tutorial. As it has a timestamp of 2020, I am wondering how much has changed in the meantime? Would you say the concepts still apply and it's a solid starting point?

Bye, Jo

I've tried to do my best to update both this repository and the blog post(s) as things change. There are definitely some best practices that are new that I haven't added (specifically around unit testing, see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_testing#writing-tests-for-integrations).

I'd say it's still a good foundation, as the integration this builds does indeed work in the latest version of HA (as of writing it's 2022.11.2 )

I am lost already at this section:

  • In which file does this need to go? (Edit: clear from looking at the diff)
  • PLATFORM_SCHEMA seems not importable for me from anywhere
  • what does the alias (?) cv stand for? (edit: clear from looking at the diff)

* `PLATFORM_SCHEMA` seems not importable for me from anywhere

I don't have much information to go on about your setup but it's imported here in the diff: https://github.com/boralyl/github-custom-component-tutorial/compare/feature/bare-repo...feature/part1?expand=1#diff-255aba5fb48c0aa31b860458cce10c3034d30602391ff77dbe42d0529322b6afR13

Sorry for the noise, PyCharm did not find the symbol although it exists. I trusted PyCharm more than the sources.
