First, I would like to announce the release of ignition-api 8.1.18.post2.
This new release comes with significant improvements on type hints, which would assist Developers by analyzing their code when using IDEs like PyCharm or tools like mypy, which takes me to the second part of this announcement.
Thanks to @justin.brzozoski for his interest in using mypy (see original post) I have created the ignition-api-stubs package which you can install on a Python 3.6+ environment (I’d recommend creating a virtual environment for this), and run code analysis on your scripting projects.
You may find instructions on how to install these packages on their corresponding README files.
If you’ve got questions, comments, feature requests, or any other thing you’d like to share, please visit our discussions for all things ignition-api 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, and stubs here.
Happy coding!
