RouterOSClient

RouterOSClient is a Dart/Flutter package that provides an easy-to-use interface for connecting and interacting with Mikrotik's RouterOS devices via a socket connection. This package supports both standard and secure (SSL/TLS) connections, enabling you to send commands and receive data from RouterOS devices in real-time.

Features

• Socket Connection: Connect to RouterOS devices using either standard TCP or secure SSL/TLS sockets.
• Command Execution: Send commands to RouterOS and receive structured replies.
• Stream Data: Stream long-running commands to receive continuous updates.
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions for various failure scenarios.
• Verbose Logging: Optional logging for debugging and monitoring communication.

Installation

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  router_os_client: ^1.0.12

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage

1. Create an Instance of RouterOSClient

import 'package:router_os_client/router_os_client.dart';

void main() async {
  RouterOSClient client = RouterOSClient(
    address: '192.168.88.1', // Replace with your RouterOS IP address
    user: 'admin',           // Replace with your RouterOS username
    password: 'password',    // Replace with your RouterOS password
    useSsl: false,           // Set to true if you are using SSL/TLS
    verbose: true,           // Set to true for detailed logging
  );

  bool isConnected = await client.login();

  if (isConnected) {
    print('Connected to RouterOS');
  } else {
    print('Failed to connect to RouterOS');
  }
}

2. Send a Command

To send a command to the RouterOS device and get a response:

void fetchInterfaces() async {
  List<Map<String, String>> interfaces = await client.talk(['/interface/print']);

  for (var interface in interfaces) {
    print('Interface Name: ${interface['name']}');
  }
}

3. Stream Data from RouterOS

For long-running commands like /tool/torch, you can stream the data:

void streamTorchData() async {
  await for (var data in client.streamData('/tool/torch interface=ether1')) {
    print('Torch Data: $data');
  }
}

4. Close the Connection

After you are done communicating with the RouterOS device, close the connection:

client.close();

Error Handling

RouterOSClient provides several custom exceptions to handle errors gracefully:

• LoginError: Thrown when there is an error during the login process.
• WordTooLong: Thrown when a command word exceeds the maximum length.
• CreateSocketError: Thrown when the socket connection fails.
• RouterOSTrapError: Thrown when RouterOS returns a trap error in response to a command.

Example:

try {
await client.login();
} catch (LoginError e) {
print('Login failed: ${e.message}');
} catch (CreateSocketError e) {
print('Socket creation failed: ${e.message}');
}

Examples

Here's a full example of connecting, sending a command, and streaming data:

import 'package:router_os_client/router_os_client.dart';

void main() async {
  RouterOSClient client = RouterOSClient(
    address: '192.168.88.1',
    user: 'admin',
    password: 'password',
    useSsl: false,
    verbose: true,
  );

  try {
    if (await client.login()) {
      print('Connected to RouterOS');

      // Fetch and print interface list
      List<Map<String, String>> interfaces = await client.talk(['/interface/print']);
      interfaces.forEach((interface) {
        print('Interface: ${interface['name']}');
      });

      // Stream torch data
      await for (var data in client.streamData('/tool/torch interface=ether1')) {
        print('Torch Data: $data');
      }
    } else {
      print('Failed to connect to RouterOS');
    }
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error: $e');
  } finally {
    client.close();
  }
}

Example: Using talk with Parameters

The talk method can now accept a Map<String, String> for sending commands with parameters to the RouterOS device.

Example:

await client.talk('/queue/simple/add', {
  '.id': '*1',
  'target': '192.168.88.1/32',
  'priority': '1',
  'max-limit': '10M/10M',
  'dynamic': 'false',
  'disabled': 'false',
});

This allows you to send more complex commands with key-value pairs for configuring the RouterOS device.
