Package Exports

smokesignal
smokesignal/lib/node

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

Readme

smokesignal

Scale your real-time app with p2p message passing.

Simple: Broadcast events or just speak to a specific peer.
Autonomic: Have your nodes gather and reorder automatically.
Configurable: If you provide your node with a network entry point, it'll join some peers automatically. Alternatively you can simply connect manually.
Self-healing: Auto-detection of netsplits and disconnect events.

This is currently in development. Most of the things below work already, though...

Synopsis

var smoke = require('smokesignal')


var node = smoke.createNode({
  port: parseInt(process.argv[2]) || 13
, entrance: {port: 13, address:'192.168.2.100'} // the address of a known node
, localNetmask: '192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0' // Supply it with your subnet mask and it'll figure out your IP
})

// listen on network events

node.on('connect', function() {
  console.log('Connected.')
  
  // and broadcast stuff
  node.broadcast.emit('my network', 'HEYO! I\'m here')
})

node.on('disconnect', function() {
  console.log('mh. Disonnected.')
})

node.broadcast.on('my network', function(msg) {
  console.log(msg)
})
