Update variable description dynamically

[ptorrent]

Hello there !

Just a simple question, is there a way to update dynamically the description of a variable ?

var variable = namespace.addVariable({
		description 	: description || '',
})

THanks for your support !

In javascript:

variable.setDescription(coerceLocalizedText("Hello World"));

However I realized that the setDescription method was not yet exposed in the public typescript interface. Let me fix this.

typescript definition file has been fixed in 2.106.0

Thanks a lot ! Other question about displayName and description properties:

Do I've to use coerceLocalizedText("Hello World") for both property, actually I'm not ?

I'm using Matrikon as OPC client and I'm not able to read them. On some others clients it's work

[erossignon]

Both should work

setDescription takes a LocalizedTextLike argument

LocalizedTextLike could be string | { text: string, locale: string } | LocalizedText

node-opcua@2.109.0 now exposes BaseNode#setDiplayName and BaseNode#setDescription methods.
