Package Exports
- chrome-net
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (chrome-net) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
chrome-net 
Use the Node net API in Chrome Apps
This module lets you use the Node.js net (TCP) API in Chrome Packaged Apps.
Instead of learning the quirks of Chrome's chrome.sockets API for networking in Chrome Apps just use the higher-level node API you're familiar with. Then, compile your code with browserify and you're all set!
install
npm install chrome-netmethods
Use node's net API, including all parameter list shorthands and variations.
Example TCP client:
var net = require('chrome-net')
var client = net.createConnection({
port: 1337,
host: '127.0.0.1'
})
client.write('beep')
client.on('data', function (data) {
console.log(data)
})
// .pipe() streaming API works too!
Example TCP server:
var net = require('chrome-net')
var server = net.createServer()
server.on('listening', function () {
console.log('listening')
})
server.on('connection', function (sock) {
console.log('Connection from ' + sock.remoteAddress + ':' + sock.remotePort)
sock.on('data', function (data) {
console.log(data)
})
})
server.listen(1337)
See nodejs.org for full API documentation: net
contribute
To run tests, use npm test. The tests will run TCP and UDP servers and launch a few different Chrome Packaged Apps with browserified client code. The tests currently require Chrome on Windows or Chrome Canary on Mac. If you're on Linux, feel free to send a pull request to fix this limitation.
