JSPM – datagram-stream@1.1.1

Package Exports

datagram-stream

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 (datagram-stream) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

A streaming UDP module with broadcast, multicast and unicast options.

usage

multicast

var udp = require('datagram-stream');

var stream = udp({
    address     : '0.0.0.0'   //address to bind to
    , multicast : '239.5.5.5' //multicast ip address to send to and listen on
    , port      : 5555        //udp port to send to
    , bindingPort : 5556      //udp port to listen on. Default: port
    , reuseAddr : true        //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
                              //         same address and port. Default: true
    , loopback  : true        //boolean: whether or not to receive sent datagrams
                              //         on the loopback device. Only applies to
                              //         multicast. Default: false
});

//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);

//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);

broadcast

var udp = require('datagram-stream');

var stream = udp({
    address     : '0.0.0.0'         //address to bind to
    , broadcast : '255.255.255.255' //broadcast ip address to send to
    , port      : 5555              //udp port to send to
    , bindingPort : 5556            //udp port to listen on. Default: port
    , reuseAddr : true              //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
                                    //         same address and port. Default: true
 });

//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);

//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);

unicast

var udp = require('datagram-stream');

var stream = udp({
    address     : '0.0.0.0'   //address to bind to
    , unicast   : '127.0.0.1' //unicast ip address to send to
    , port      : 5555        //udp port to send to
    , bindingPort : 5556      //udp port to listen on. Default: port
    , reuseAddr : true        //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
                              //         same address and port. Default: true
 });

//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);

//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);

I used @dominictarr's broadcast-stream as a guide for how to implement the stream.
