-# Open MCT API
+# Building Applications With Open MCT

-The Open MCT framework public api can be utilized by building the application
-(`gulp install`) and then copying the file from `dist/main.js` to your
-directory of choice.
+## Scope and purpose of this document

-Open MCT supports AMD, CommonJS, and loading via a script tag; it's easy to use
-in your project. The [`openmct`]{@link module:openmct} module is exported
-via AMD and CommonJS, and is also exposed as `openmct` in the global scope
-if loaded via a script tag.
+This document is intended to serve as a reference for developing an application 
+based on Open MCT. It will provide details of the API functions necessary to extend the 
+Open MCT platform meet common use cases such as integrating with a telemetry source. 

-## Overview
+The best place to start is with the [Open MCT Tutorials](https://github.com/nasa/openmct-tutorial). 
+These will walk you through the process of getting up and running with Open MCT, 
+as well as addressing some common developer use cases.

-Open MCT's goal is to allow you to browse, create, edit, and visualize all of
-the domain knowledge you need on a daily basis.
+## Building From Source 

-To do this, the main building block provided by Open MCT is the _domain object_.
-The temperature sensor on the starboard solar panel,
-an overlay plot comparing the results of all temperature sensor,
-the command dictionary for a spacecraft,
-the individual commands in that dictionary, your "my documents" folder:
+The latest version of Open MCT is available from [our GitHub repository](https://github.com/nasa/openmct). 
+If you have `git`, and `node` installed, you can build Open MCT with the commands 
+```
+git clone https://github.com/nasa/openmct.git
+cd openmct
+npm install
+```
+
+These commands will fetch the Open MCT source from our GitHub repository, and build 
+a minified version that can be included in your application. The output of the 
+build process is placed in a `dist` folder under the openmct source directory, 
+which can be copied out to another location as needed. The contents of this 
+folder will include a minified javascript file named `openmct.js` as well as 
+assets such as html, css, and images necessary for the UI. 
+
+## Starting an Open MCT application
+
+To start a minimally functional Open MCT application, it is necessary to include 
+the Open MCT distributable, enable some basic plugins, and bootstrap the application. 
+The tutorials walk through the process of getting Open MCT up and running from scratch,
+but provided below is a minimal HTML template that includes Open MCT, installs 
+some basic plugins, and bootstraps the application. It assumes that Open MCT is 
+installed under an `openmct` subdirectory, as described in [Building From Source](#building-from-source). 
+
+This approach includes openmct using a simple script tag, resulting in a global 
+variable named `openmct`. This `openmct` object is used subsequently to make API 
+calls. 
+
+Open MCT is packaged as a UMD (Universal Module Definition) module, so common 
+script loaders are also supported.
+
+```html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+    <title>Open MCT</title>
+    <script src="openmct.js"></script>
+</head>
+<body>
+    <script>
+        openmct.setAssetPath('openmct/dist');
+        openmct.install(openmct.plugins.LocalStorage());
+        openmct.install(openmct.plugins.MyItems());
+        openmct.install(openmct.plugins.UTCTimeSystem());
+        openmct.install(openmct.plugins.Espresso());
+        openmct.start();
+    </script>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+The Open MCT library included above requires certain assets such as html templates, 
+images, and css. If you installed Open MCT from GitHub as described in the section 
+on [Building from Source](#building-from-source) then these assets will have been 
+downloaded along with the Open MCT javascript library. You can specify the 
+location of these assets by calling `openmct.setAssetPath()`. Typically this will 
+be the same location as the `openmct.js` library is included from.
+
+There are some plugins bundled with the application that provide UI, persistence, 
+and other default configuration which are necessary to be able to do anything with 
+the application initially. Any of these plugins can, in principle, be replaced with a custom 
+plugin. The included plugins are documented in the [Included Plugins](#included-plugins) 
+section.  
+
+## Plugins
+
+### Defining and Installing a New Plugin
+
+```javascript
+openmct.install(function install(openmctAPI) {
+    // Do things here
+    // ...
+});
+```
+
+New plugins are installed in Open MCT by calling `openmct.install`, and providing 
+a plugin installation function. This function will be invoked on application 
+startup with one parameter - the openmct API object. A common approach used in 
+the Open MCT codebase is to define a plugin as a function that returns this 
+installation function. This allows configuration to be specified when the plugin is included.
+
+eg.
+```javascript
+openmct.install(openmct.plugins.Elasticsearch("http://localhost:8002/openmct"));
+```
+This approach can be seen in all of the [plugins provided with Open MCT](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/blob/master/src/plugins/plugins.js).
+
+## Domain Objects and Identifiers
+
+_Domain Objects_ are the basic entities that represent domain knowledge in Open MCT.
+The temperature sensor on a solar panel, an overlay plot comparing 
+the results of all temperature sensors, the command dictionary for a spacecraft,
+the individual commands in that dictionary, the "My Items" folder:
 All of these things are domain objects.

-Domain objects have Types, so a specific instrument temperature sensor is a
-"Telemetry Point," and turning on a drill for a certain duration of time is
-an "Activity".  Types allow you to form an ontology of knowledge and provide
-an abstraction for grouping, visualizing, and interpreting data.
+A _Domain Object_ is simply a javascript object with some standard attributes.  
+An example of a _Domain Object_ is the "My Items" object which is a folder in 
+which a user can persist any objects that they create. The My Items object 
+looks like this: 

-And then we have Views. Views allow you to visualize domain objects. Views can
-apply to specific domain objects; they may also apply to certain types of
-domain objects, or they may apply to everything.  Views are simply a method
-of visualizing domain objects.
-
-Regions allow you to specify what views are displayed for specific types of
-domain objects in response to different user actions. For instance, you may
-want to display a different view while editing, or you may want to update the
-toolbar display when objects are selected.  Regions allow you to map views to
-specific user actions.
-
-Domain objects can be mutated and persisted, developers can create custom
-actions and apply them to domain objects, and many more things can be done.
-For more information, read on!
-
-## Running Open MCT
-
-Once the [`openmct`](@link module:openmct) module has been loaded, you can
-simply invoke [`start`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#start} to run Open MCT:
-
-
-```
-openmct.start();
+```javascript
+{
+    identifier: {
+        namespace: ""
+        key: "mine"
+    }
+    name:"My Items",
+    type:"folder",
+    location:"ROOT",
+    composition: []
+}
 ```

-Generally, however, you will want to configure Open MCT by adding plugins
-before starting it. It is important to install plugins and configure Open MCT
-_before_ calling [`start`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#start}; Open MCT is not
-designed to be reconfigured once started.
+### Object Attributes

-## Configuring Open MCT
+The main attributes to note are the `identifier`, and `type` attributes.
+* `identifier`: A composite key that provides a universally unique identifier for 
+this object. The `namespace` and `key` are used to identify the object. The `key` 
+must be unique within the namespace. 
+* `type`: All objects in Open MCT have a type. Types allow you to form an 
+ontology of knowledge and provide an abstraction for grouping, visualizing, and 
+interpreting data. Details on how to define a new object type are provided below. 

-The [`openmct`]{@link module:openmct} module (more specifically, the
-[`MCT`]{@link module:openmct.MCT} class, of which `openmct` is an instance)
-exposes a variety of methods to allow the application to be configured,
-extended, and customized before running.
+Open MCT uses a number of builtin types. Typically you are going to want to 
+define your own if extending Open MCT.

-Short examples follow; see the linked documentation for further details.
+### Domain Object Types

-### Adding Domain Object Types
+Custom types may be registered via the `addType` function on the opencmt Type 
+registry.

-Custom types may be registered via
-[`openmct.types`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#types}:
-
-```
+eg.
+```javascript
 openmct.types.addType('my-type', {
    label: "My Type",
    description: "This is a type that I added!",
@ -78,66 +152,98 @@ openmct.types.addType('my-type', {
 });
 ```

-### Adding Views
+The `addType` function accepts two arguments:
+* A `string` key identifying the type. This key is used when specifying a type 
+for an object.
+* An object type specification. An object type definition supports the following 
+attributes      
+    * `label`: a `string` naming this object type
+    * `description`: a `string` specifying a longer-form description of this type
+    * `initialize`: a `function` which initializes the model for new domain objects 
+    of this type. This can be used for setting default values on an object when 
+    it is instantiated.
+    * `creatable`: A `boolean` indicating whether users should be allowed to create 
+    this type (default: `false`). This will determine whether the type appears 
+    in the `Create` menu.
+    * `cssClass`: A `string` specifying a CSS class to apply to each representation 
+    of this object. This is used for specifying an icon to appear next to each 
+    object of this type.

-Custom views may be registered based on the region in the application
-where they should appear:
+The [Open MCT Tutorials](https://github.com/openmct/openmct-tutorial) provide a 
+step-by-step examples of writing code for Open MCT that includes a [section on 
+defining a new object type](https://github.com/nasa/openmct-tutorial#step-3---providing-objects).

-* [`openmct.mainViews`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#mainViews} is a registry
-  of views of domain objects which should appear in the main viewing area.
-* [`openmct.inspectors`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#inspectors} is a registry
-  of views of domain objects and/or active selections, which should appear in
-  the Inspector.
-* [`openmct.toolbars`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#toolbars} is a registry
-  of views of domain objects and/or active selections, which should appear in
-  the toolbar area while editing.
-* [`openmct.indicators`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#inspectors} is a registry
-  of views which should appear in the status area of the application.
+## Root Objects

-Example:
+In many cases, you'd like a certain object (or a certain hierarchy of objects) 
+to be accessible from the top level of the application (the tree on the left-hand 
+side of Open MCT.) For example, it is typical to expose a telemetry dictionary 
+as a hierarchy of telemetry-providing domain objects in this fashion.

-```
-openmct.mainViews.addProvider({
-    canView: function (domainObject) {
-        return domainObject.type === 'my-type';
-    },
-    view: function (domainObject) {
-        return new MyView(domainObject);
-    }
-});
+To do so, use the `addRoot` method of the object API.
+
+eg.
+```javascript
+openmct.objects.addRoot({
+        namespace: "my-namespace",
+        key: "my-key"
+    });
 ```

-### Adding a Root-level Object
-
-In many cases, you'd like a certain object (or a certain hierarchy of
-objects) to be accessible from the top level of the application (the
-tree on the left-hand side of Open MCT.) It is typical to expose a telemetry
-dictionary as a hierarchy of telemetry-providing domain objects in this
-fashion.
-
-To do so, use the [`addRoot`]{@link module:openmct.ObjectAPI#addRoot} method
-of the [object API]{@link module:openmct.ObjectAPI}:
-
-```
-openmct.objects.addRoot({ key: "my-key", namespace: "my-namespace" });
-```
+The `addRoot` function takes a single [object identifier](#domain-objects-and-identifiers) 
+as an argument. 

 Root objects are loaded just like any other objects, i.e. via an object
 provider.

-### Adding Composition Providers
+## Object Providers

-The "composition" of a domain object is the list of objects it contains,
-as shown (for example) in the tree for browsing. Open MCT provides a
+An Object Provider is used to build _Domain Objects_, typically retrieved from 
+some source such as a persistence store or telemetry dictionary. In order to 
+integrate telemetry from a new source an object provider will need to be created 
+that can build objects representing telemetry points exposed by the telemetry 
+source. The API call to define a new object provider is fairly straightforward. 
+Here's a very simple example:
+
+```javascript
+openmct.objects.addProvider('example.namespace', {
+    get: function (identifier) {
+        return Promise.resolve({
+            identifier: identifier,
+            name: 'Example Object',
+            type: 'example-object-type'
+        });
+    }
+});
+```
+The `addProvider` function takes two arguments:
+
+* `namespace`: A `string` representing the namespace that this object provider 
+will provide objects for.
+* `provider`: An `object` with a single function, `get`. This function accepts an 
+[Identifier](#domain-objects-and-identifiers) for the object to be provided. 
+It is expected that the `get` function will return a 
+[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) 
+that resolves with the object being requested.
+
+In future, object providers will support other methods to enable other operations 
+with persistence stores, such as creating, updating, and deleting objects.
+
+## Composition Providers
+
+The _composition_ of a domain object is the list of objects it contains, as shown 
+(for example) in the tree for browsing. Open MCT provides a
 [default solution](#default-composition-provider) for composition, but there
 may be cases where you want to provide the composition of a certain object
 (or type of object) dynamically.

-For instance, you may want to populate a hierarchy under a custom root-level
-object based on the contents of a telemetry dictionary.
-To do this, you can add a new CompositionProvider:

 ```
+The `addProvider` function accepts a Composition Provider object as its sole 
+argument. A Composition Provider is a javascript object exposing two functions:
+* `appliesTo`: A `function` that accepts a `domainObject` argument, and returns 
+a `boolean` value indicating whether this composition provider applies to the 
+given object.
+* `load`: A `function` that accepts a `domainObject` as an argument, and returns
+a `Promise` that resolves with an array of [Identifier](#domain-objects-and-identifiers).

-### Adding Telemetry Providers
+## Telemetry Providers

-When connecting to a new telemetry source, you will want to register a new
-[telemetry provider]{@link module:openmct.TelemetryAPI~TelemetryProvider}
-with the [telemetry API]{@link module:openmct.TelemetryAPI#addProvider}:
+When connecting to a new telemetry source, you will need to register a new
+_Telemetry Provider_. A _Telemetry Provider_ retrieves telemetry data from some telemetry 
+source, and exposes them in a way that can be used by Open MCT. A telemetry 
+provider typically can support a one off __request__ for a batch of telemetry data, 
+or it can provide the ability to __subscribe__ to receive new telemetry data when 
+it becomes available, or both.

-```
+```javascript
 openmct.telemetry.addProvider({
-    canProvideTelemetry: function (domainObject) {
-        return domainObject.type === 'my-type';
+    supportsRequest: function (domainObject) {
+        //...
    },
-    properties: function (domainObject) {
-        return [
-            { key: 'value', name: "Temperature", units: "degC" },
-            { key: 'time', name: "UTC" }
-        ];
+    supportsSubscribe: function (domainObject) {
+        //...
    },
-    request: function (domainObject, options) {
-        var telemetryId = domainObject.myTelemetryId;
-        return myAdapter.request(telemetryId, options.start, options.end);
+    request: function (domainObject, options) {    
+        //...
    },
-    subscribe: function (domainObject, callback) {
-        var telemetryId = domainObject.myTelemetryId;
-        myAdapter.subscribe(telemetryId, callback);
-        return myAdapter.unsubscribe.bind(myAdapter, telemetryId, callback);
+    subscribe: function (domainObject, callback, options) {
+        //...
    }
-});
+})
 ```

+A telemetry provider is an object with the following functions defined:
+
+* `supportsRequest`: An __optional__ `function` that accepts a 
+[Domain Object](#domain-objects-and-identifiers) and returns a `boolean` value
+indicating whether or not this provider supports telemetry requests for the 
+given object. If this returns `true` then a `request` function must be defined. 
+* `supportsSubscribe`: An __optional__ `function` that accepts a 
+[Domain Object](#domain-objects-and-identifiers) and returns a `boolean` value 
+indicating whether or not this provider supports telemetry subscriptions. If this 
+returns `true` then a `subscribe` function must also be defined. As with `request`, 
+the return value will typically be conditional, and based on attributes of 
+`domainObject` such as its identifier.
+* `request`: A `function` that returns a `Promise` that will resolve with an `Array` 
+of telemetry in a single query. This function accepts as arguments a 
+[Domain Object](#domain-objects-and-identifiers) and an object containing some 
+[request options](#telemetry-requests). 
+* `subscribe`:  A `function` that accepts a [Domain Object](#domain-objects-and-identifiers),
+a callback `function`, and a [telemetry request](#telemetry-requests). The 
+callback is invoked whenever telemetry is available, and 
+
+
 The implementations for `request` and `subscribe` can vary depending on the
 nature of the endpoint which will provide telemetry. In the example above,
-it is assumed that `myAdapter` contains the specific implementations
-(HTTP requests, WebSocket connections, etc.) associated with some telemetry
+it is assumed that `myAdapter` contains the implementation details
+(such as HTTP requests, WebSocket connections, etc.) associated with some telemetry
 source.

-## Using Open MCT
+For a step-by-step guide to building a telemetry adapter, please see the 
+[Open MCT Tutorials](https://github.com/larkin/openmct-tutorial).

-When implementing new features, it is useful and sometimes necessary to
-utilize functionality exposed by Open MCT.
-
-### Retrieving Composition
-
-To limit which objects are loaded at any given time, the composition of
-a domain object must be requested asynchronously:
-
-```
-openmct.composition(myObject).load().then(function (childObjects) {
-    childObjects.forEach(doSomething);
-});
+### Telemetry Requests
+Telemetry requests support time bounded queries. A call to a _Telemetry Provider_'s 
+`request` function will include an `options` argument. These are simply javascript
+objects with attributes for the request parameters. An example of a telemetry 
+request object with a start and end time is included below:
+```javascript
+{
+    start: 1487981997240,
+    end: 1487982897240
+}
 ```

-### Support Common Gestures
+### Telemetry Data

-Custom views may also want to support common gestures using the
-[gesture API]{@link module:openmct.GestureAPI}. For instance, to make
-a view (or part of a view) selectable:
+Telemetry data is provided to Open MCT by _[Telemetry Providers](#telemetry-providers)_
+in the form of javascript objects. A collection of telemetry values (for example, 
+retrieved in response to a `request`) is represented by an `Array` of javascript 
+objects. These telemetry javascript objects are simply key value pairs.

-```
-openmct.gestures.selectable(myHtmlElement, myDomainObject);
+Typically a telemetry datum will have some timestamp associated with it. This 
+time stamp should have a key that corresponds to some time system supported by 
+Open MCT. If the `UTCTimeSystem` plugin is installed, then the key `utc` can be used.
+   
+An example of a telemetry provider request function that returns a collection of
+mock telemtry data is below:
+
+```javascript
+openmct.telemetry.addProvider({
+    supportsRequest: function (domainObject) {
+        return true
+    },
+    request: function (domainObject, options) {    
+        return Promise.resolve([
+            {
+                'utc': Date.now() - 2000,
+                'value': 1,
+            },
+            {
+                'utc': Date.now() - 1000,
+                'value': 2,
+            },
+            {
+                'utc': Date.now(),
+                'value': 3,
+            }
+        ]);
+    }
+})
 ```

-### Working with Domain Objects
-
-The [object API]{@link module:openmct.ObjectAPI} provides useful methods
-for working with domain objects.
-
-To make changes to a domain object, use the
-[`mutate`]{@link module:openmct.ObjectAPI#mutate} method:
-
-```
-openmct.objects.mutate(myDomainObject, "name", "New name!");
-```
-
-Making modifications in this fashion allows other usages of the domain
-object to remain up to date using the
-[`observe`]{@link module:openmct.ObjectAPI#observe} method:
-
-```
-openmct.objects.observe(myDomainObject, "name", function (newName) {
-    myLabel.textContent = newName;
-});
-```
-
-### Using Telemetry
-
-Very often in Open MCT, you wish to work with telemetry data (for instance,
-to display it in a custom visualization.)
-
-
-### Synchronizing with the Time Conductor
-
-Views which wish to remain synchronized with the state of Open MCT's
-time conductor should utilize
-[`openmct.conductor`]{@link module:openmct.TimeConductor}:
-
-```
-openmct.conductor.on('bounds', function (newBounds) {
-    requestTelemetry(newBounds.start, newBounds.end).then(displayTelemetry);
-});
-```
-
-## Plugins
-
-While you can register new features with Open MCT directly, it is generally
-more useful to package these as a plugin. A plugin is a function that takes
-[`openmct`]{@link module:openmct} as an argument, and performs configuration
-upon `openmct` when invoked.
-
-### Installing Plugins
-
-To install plugins, use the [`install`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#install}
-method:
-
-```
-openmct.install(myPlugin);
-```
-
-The plugin will be invoked to configure Open MCT before it is started.
-
-### Included Plugins
+## Included Plugins

 Open MCT is packaged along with a few general-purpose plugins:

 * `openmct.plugins.CouchDB` is an adapter for using CouchDB for persistence
  of user-created objects. This is a constructor that takes the URL for the
  CouchDB database as a parameter, e.g.
-  `openmct.install(new openmct.plugins.CouchDB('http://localhost:5984/openmct'))`
+```javascript
+openmct.install(openmct.plugins.CouchDB('http://localhost:5984/openmct'))
+```
 * `openmct.plugins.Elasticsearch` is an adapter for using Elasticsearch for
  persistence of user-created objects. This is a
  constructor that takes the URL for the Elasticsearch instance as a
-  parameter, e.g.
-  `openmct.install(new openmct.plugins.CouchDB('http://localhost:9200'))`.
-  Domain objects will be indexed at `/mct/domain_object`.
-* `openmct.plugins.espresso` and `openmct.plugins.snow` are two different

  themes (dark and light) available for Open MCT. Note that at least one
  of these themes must be installed for Open MCT to appear correctly.

+* `openmct.plugins.UTCTimeSystem` provides a default time system for Open MCT.

 Generally, you will want to either install these plugins, or install
 different plugins that provide persistence and an initial folder

-### Writing Plugins
-
-Plugins configure Open MCT, and should utilize the
-[`openmct`]{@link module:openmct} module to do so, as summarized above in
-"Configuring Open MCT" and "Using Open MCT" above.
-
-### Distributing Plugins
-
-Hosting or downloading plugins is outside of the scope of this documentation.
-We recommend distributing plugins as UMD modules which export a single
-function.

-Open MCT is a next-generation mission control framework for visualization of data on desktop and mobile devices. It is developed at NASA's Ames Research Center, and is being used by NASA for data analysis of spacecraft missions, as well as planning and operation of experimental rover systems. As a generalizable and open source framework, Open MCT could be used as the basis for building applications for planning, operation, and analysis of any systems producing telemetry data.

This allows new-style objects to be contained by old-style objects. Updated all composition policies to use standardized argument names instead of `context` and `candidate`; this makes it easier to understand.
