JavaScript/NodeJS mDNS discovery implementation

Package Exports

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

Readme

mDNS-js

Pure JavaScript/NodeJS mDNS discovery implementation.

A lot of the functionality is copied from https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/tree/master/mdns-browser but adapted for node.

Install by

npm install mdns-js

Future

It would be great to have a full implementation of mDSN + DNS-SD in pure JS but progress will be slow unless someone is willing to pitch in with pull requests, specifications for wanted functions etc. Also, as you should avoid to have multiple mDNS stacks on a system this might clash with stuff like avahi and bonjour.

example

var Mdns = require('mdns-js');

var browser = new mdns.createBrowser();

browser.on('ready', function () {
    mdns.discover(); 
});

browser.on('update', function (data) {
    console.log('data:', data);
});

Debugging

This library is using the debug module from TJ Holowaychuk and can be used like this.

DEBUG=mdns* node examples/simple.js

This will spit out a lot of information that might be useful.

Contributing

Pull-request will be gladly accepted.

If possible any api should be as close match to the api of node-mdns but be pragmatic. Look at issue #5.

Before creating a pull-request please run 

npm run lint

on any changed code. There is a .jshintrc file included in the project, use it, and don't be offended by it.
