Package Exports

local-devices
local-devices/src/index.js

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

Readme

Local Devices

Find all devices connected to the local network using arp -a. This module also pings all possible ip's in the local network to build the arp table.

Installation

Npm

npm install local-devices

Example

// Using a transpiler
import find from 'local-devices'
// Without using a transpiler
const find = require('local-devices');

// Find all local network devices.
find().then(devices => {
  devices /*
  [
    { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.10', mac: '...' },
    { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.17', mac: '...' },
    { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.21', mac: '...' },
    { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.22', mac: '...' }
  ]
  */
})

// Find a single device by ip address.
find({ address: '192.168.0.10' }).then(device => {
  device /*
  {
    name: '?',
    ip: '192.168.0.10',
    mac: '...'
  }
  */
})

// Find all devices within 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.25 range
find({ address: '192.168.0.1-192.168.0.25' }).then(devices => {
    devices /*
    [
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.10', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.17', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.21', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.22', mac: '...' }
    ]
    */
})

// Find all devices within /24 subnet range of 192.168.0.x
find({ address: '192.168.0.0/24' }).then(devices => {
    devices /*
    [
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.10', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.50', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.155', mac: '...' },
      { name: '...', ip: '192.168.0.211', mac: '...' }
    ]
    */
})

// Find all devices without resolving host names (Uses 'arp -an') - this is more performant if hostnames are not needed 
// (This flag is ignored on Windows machines as 'arp -an' is not supported)
find({ skipNameResolution: true }).then(devices => {
    devices /*
    [
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.10', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.50', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.155', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.211', mac: '...' }
    ]
    */
})

// Find all devices, specifying your own path for the `arp` binary 
find({ arpPath: '/usr/sbin/arp' }).then(devices => {
    devices /*
    [
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.10', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.50', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.155', mac: '...' },
      { name: '?', ip: '192.168.0.211', mac: '...' }
    ]
