How do you use delete rule?

[marcortw]

Does something like this work? Didn't have the time right now to test it myself. Sorry for the lack of documentation.

var fwcontrol = require('pfsense-fwcontrol');

var deleteRule = {
    action: 'delete',
    params: {
        id: <the id you previously received from the addRule>
    }
};

fwcontrol.start({
    baseUrl: 'http://192.168.2.122/',
    username: 'admin',
    password: 'pfsense',
    proxy: 'http://localhost:8888' // proxy is optional
}, [deleteRule], function (err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        console.log(result);
    }
});

There are no errors when running this but it's not accomplishing the delete.

rule = { action: 'delete', params: { interface: 'lan', id: id } };

I think this element no longer exists, .listbg.descr

this fixed it

var getRuleByDescription = function (html, description) {
    var $ = cheerio.load(html);
    var searchString = 'td:contains(' + description + ')';
    var id = null;

    $('#ruletable tr').each(function(){
        $(this).find('td').each(function(){
        var ruleDescription = $(this).text().trim();
        if(ruleDescription == description){
            var parentHtml = $(this).parent().html();
            $ = cheerio.load(parentHtml);
            id = $(':input').attr("value");
        }
    })});

    return id;
};

Thanks for the feedback. I only tested it with the community edition version 2.2.6. It would be nice to have some version detection. If I find the time, i will try to build something like that and would log a warning if it's a higher version number. Feel free to contribute :-)

[marcortw]

By the way, which pfsense version are you using? If it's 2.2.x i'll try to fix it and if it's a newer version i can try to write some version detection. If I find the time.
