# SecuBox Module Code Templates **Version:** 1.0.0 **Last Updated:** 2025-12-28 **Status:** Active **Purpose:** Ready-to-use code templates extracted from working SecuBox modules --- ## See Also - **Implementation Workflow:** [MODULE-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md](./MODULE-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md) - **Quick Commands:** [QUICK-START.md](./QUICK-START.md) - **Automation Guardrails:** [CODEX.md](./CODEX.md) - **Module Prompts:** [FEATURE-REGENERATION-PROMPTS.md](./FEATURE-REGENERATION-PROMPTS.md) --- ## Table of Contents 1. [File Structure Template](#file-structure-template) 2. [API Module Template](#api-module-template) 3. [JavaScript View Template](#javascript-view-template) 4. [RPCD Backend Template](#rpcd-backend-template) 5. [Menu JSON Template](#menu-json-template) 6. [ACL JSON Template](#acl-json-template) 7. [CSS Styling Template](#css-styling-template) 8. [Complete Implementation Example](#complete-implementation-example) --- ## File Structure Template Every SecuBox module follows this exact structure: ``` luci-app-/ ├── Makefile # OpenWrt package definition ├── README.md # Module documentation ├── htdocs/luci-static/resources/ │ ├── / │ │ ├── api.js # RPC API client (REQUIRED) │ │ ├── theme.js # Theme helper (optional) │ │ └── dashboard.css # Module-specific styles │ └── view// │ ├── overview.js # Main dashboard view │ ├── settings.js # Settings view (if needed) │ └── *.js # Additional views └── root/ ├── etc/config/ # UCI config (optional) └── usr/ ├── libexec/rpcd/ │ └── luci. # RPCD backend (REQUIRED, must be executable) └── share/ ├── luci/menu.d/ │ └── luci-app-.json # Menu definition └── rpcd/acl.d/ └── luci-app-.json # ACL permissions ``` **Critical Rules:** 1. RPCD script MUST be named `luci.` (with `luci.` prefix) 2. RPCD script MUST be executable (`chmod +x`) 3. Menu paths MUST match view file locations 4. CSS/JS files should be 644 permissions 5. All ubus objects MUST use `luci.` prefix --- ## API Module Template **File:** `htdocs/luci-static/resources//api.js` ```javascript 'use strict'; 'require baseclass'; 'require rpc'; /** * [Module Name] API * Package: luci-app- * RPCD object: luci. * Version: 1.0.0 */ // Debug log to verify correct version is loaded console.log('🔧 [Module Name] API v1.0.0 loaded at', new Date().toISOString()); // ============================================================================ // RPC Method Declarations // ============================================================================ // Simple method (no parameters) var callStatus = rpc.declare({ object: 'luci.', // MUST match RPCD script name method: 'status', expect: {} }); // Method with return structure var callGetData = rpc.declare({ object: 'luci.', method: 'get_data', expect: { data: [] } // Expected return structure }); // Method with parameters var callPerformAction = rpc.declare({ object: 'luci.', method: 'perform_action', params: ['action_type', 'target'], // Parameter names expect: { success: false } }); // Method with multiple parameters var callUpdateConfig = rpc.declare({ object: 'luci.', method: 'update_config', params: ['key', 'value', 'persist'], expect: {} }); // ============================================================================ // Helper Functions (Optional) // ============================================================================ /** * Format bytes to human-readable string */ function formatBytes(bytes) { if (bytes === 0) return '0 B';

var now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); var diff = now - timestamp; if (diff < 60) return diff + 's ago'; if (diff < 3600) return Math.floor(diff / 60) + 'm ago'; if (diff < 86400) return Math.floor(diff / 3600) + 'h ago'; return Math.floor(diff / 86400) + 'd ago'; } /** * Format uptime seconds to "Xd Xh Xm" string */ function formatUptime(seconds) { var days = Math.floor(seconds / 86400); var hours = Math.floor((seconds % 86400) / 3600); var mins = Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60); return days + 'd ' + hours + 'h ' + mins + 'm'; } // ============================================================================ // API Export // ============================================================================ return baseclass.extend({ // RPC methods - exposed via ubus getStatus: callStatus, getData: callGetData, performAction: callPerformAction, updateConfig: callUpdateConfig, // Helper functions formatBytes: formatBytes, formatTimeAgo: formatTimeAgo, formatUptime: formatUptime, // Aggregate function for overview page (combines multiple calls) getAllData: function() { return Promise.all([ callStatus(), callGetData() ]).then(function(results) { return { status: results[0] || {}, data: results[1] || { data: [] } }; }); } }); ``` **Key Points:** - Always use `'use strict';` - Require `baseclass` and `rpc` - Use `rpc.declare()` for each RPCD method - Export from `baseclass.extend()` - Helper functions can be included in the API module - Aggregate functions are useful for views that need multiple data sources --- ## JavaScript View Template **File:** `htdocs/luci-static/resources/view//overview.js` ```javascript 'use strict';

``` **Key Points:** - Extend `view` with `load()` and `render()` methods - Use `E()` helper to build DOM elements - Use `L.bind()` for event handlers to preserve `this` context - Use `poll.add()` for auto-refresh functionality - Use `dom.content()` for efficient partial updates - Use `ui.showModal()`, `ui.hideModal()`, `ui.addNotification()` for user feedback - Always handle errors in Promise chains --- ## RPCD Backend Template **File:** `root/usr/libexec/rpcd/luci.` ```bash #!/bin/sh # [Module Name] RPCD Backend # Package: luci-app- # Version: 1.0.0 # Source required libraries . /lib/functions.sh . /usr/share/libubox/jshn.sh # ============================================================================ # RPC Methods # ============================================================================ # Get status information status() { json_init # Example: Get system info local hostname=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown") local uptime=$(awk '{print int($1)}' /proc/uptime 2>/dev/null || echo 0) json_add_string "hostname" "$hostname" json_add_int "uptime" "$uptime" json_add_string "version" "1.0.0" json_add_string "status" "running" # Add nested object json_add_object "cpu" local cpu_load=$(awk '{print $1}' /proc/loadavg 2>/dev/null || echo "0") json_add_string "load" "$cpu_load" json_add_int "usage" "45" json_close_object # Add timestamp json_add_string "timestamp" "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')" json_dump } # Get data with array get_data() { json_init json_add_array "data" # Example: List files for file in /etc/config/*;

div { padding: 20px; } ``` **Installation Steps:** 1. Copy files to module directory 2. Set RPCD permissions: `chmod +x root/usr/libexec/rpcd/luci.example-dashboard` 3. Validate: `./secubox-tools/validate-modules.sh` 4. Build: `./secubox-tools/local-build.sh build luci-app-example-dashboard` 5. Deploy: `scp build/x86-64/*.ipk root@router:/tmp/` 6. Install: `ssh root@router "opkg install /tmp/luci-app-example-dashboard*.ipk && /etc/init.d/rpcd restart"` --- ## Common Pitfalls and Solutions ### 1. RPCD "Object not found" Error **Error:** `RPC call to luci.example-dashboard/status failed with error -32000: Object not found` **Solutions:** - Check RPCD script name matches ubus object name exactly (including `luci.` prefix) - Verify RPCD script is executable: `chmod +x root/usr/libexec/rpcd/luci.example-dashboard` - Restart RPCD service: `/etc/init.d/rpcd restart` - Check RPCD logs: `logread | grep rpcd` ### 2. HTTP 404 View Not Found **Error:** `HTTP error 404 while loading class file '/luci-static/resources/view/example-dashboard/overview.js'` **Solutions:** - Verify menu path matches view file location exactly - Menu: `"path": "example-dashboard/overview"` → File: `view/example-dashboard/overview.js` - Check file permissions: `644` for CSS/JS files - Clear browser cache ### 3. ACL Permission Denied **Error:** Access denied or missing permissions **Solutions:** - Verify ACL file exists in `root/usr/share/rpcd/acl.d/` - Check ubus object name in ACL matches RPCD script name - Restart RPCD: `/etc/init.d/rpcd restart` - Check method is listed in appropriate section (read vs write) ### 4. CSS Not Loading **Problem:** Styles not applied **Solutions:** - Verify CSS import path: `L.resource('example-dashboard/dashboard.css')` - Check file permissions: `644` - Import common.css: `@import url('../system-hub/common.css');` - Clear browser cache - Check browser console for 404 errors ### 5. Auto-Refresh Not Working **Problem:** Poll not updating dashboard **Solutions:** - Verify poll.add() is called in render() method - Check API calls in poll callback return Promises - Ensure updateDashboard() method updates DOM correctly - Use browser console to check for JavaScript errors --- ## Validation Checklist Before deploying, always run these checks: ```bash # 1. Fix permissions ./secubox-tools/fix-permissions.sh --local # 2. Validate module structure ./secubox-tools/validate-modules.sh # 3. Validate JSON syntax find luci-app-example-dashboard -name "*.json" -exec jsonlint {} \; # 4. Validate shell scripts shellcheck luci-app-example-dashboard/root/usr/libexec/rpcd/* # 5. Build locally ./secubox-tools/local-build.sh build luci-app-example-dashboard ``` --- **Document Version:** 1.0.0 **Last Updated:** 2025-12-27 **Maintainer:** CyberMind.fr
