Package Exports

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

Readme

dgram-stream - udp as a duplex stream

What!? a dgram stream? You're crazy.

Yep, I am.

Usage

npm install dgram-stream

Write "packets" like:

{
  "to": {port: 1234}
  "payload": new Buffer("my data"),
}

Get "packets" like:

{ from: { address: '127.0.0.1', family: 'IPv4', port: 55230, size: 11 },
  payload: <Buffer 6d 79 20 64 61 74 61> }

Example:

var dgram = require('dgram')
var dgrams = require('dgram-stream')

// setup two (duplex) streams. use type or socket.
var one = dgrams('udp4')
var two = dgrams(dgram.createSocket('udp4'))

// bind to ports. both ways work the same.
one.sock.bind(1234)
two.bind(1235)

// data handlers
one.on('data', function(item) {
  console.log('one got: ' + item)
})

two.on('data', function(item) {
  console.log('two got: ' + item)
})

// try it out!
one.write({ to: { port:1235 }, payload: 'beep' })
two.write({ to: { port:1234 }, payload: 'boop' })
