ble-advertise

forked from https://github.com/tessel/bleadvertise

Description

This package can parse BLE slave advertisement packets into human readable/manipulatable objects and build advertisement packets from JSON objects. Based off of the BLE specification data types.

Install

npm i @danke77/ble-advertise

Usage

Packet Parsing

const parser = require('@danke77/ble-advertise');

// Payload from your BLE device (make it into a buffer, if not already)

const payload = '0201060303BEFE0AFF010B020026AC4DA393020A080E094C452D72657365727665645F43';
// const payload = Buffer.from([
//   2,   1,   6,   3,   3,
// 190, 254,  10, 255,   1,
//  11,   2,   0,  38, 172,
//  77, 163, 147,   2,  10,
//   8,  14,   9,  76,  69,
//  45, 114, 101, 115, 101,
// 114, 118, 101, 100,  95,
//  67
// ]);

// Parse (big-endian by default)
const packets = parser.parse(payload);

console.log(packats);
console.log(packets.length); // 5
console.log(packets[0].type); // Flags
console.log(packets[0].data); // [ 'LE General Discoverable Mode', 'BR/EDR Not Supported' ]
console.log(packets[1].type); // 'Complete List of 16-bit Service Class UUIDs'
console.log(packets[1].data); // [ 'febe' ]

Packet Structure

The returned packets in the packet array have the following structure:

packet._type -> The type flag parsed from packet

packet._byteOrder -> The byte order in parsing

packet.raw -> The raw buffer that was parsed

packet.type -> A string describing type of data (eg. "Flags", "Complete List of 16-bit UUIDs", etc.)

packet.data -> The data parsed into appropriate data type (eg. String, Array of Octet Strings, unsigned int, etc.)

Endianess

You can specify the endianess that you want the buffers parsed with by using these functions:

parser.parseLE(payload);
parser.parseBE(payload);

Building Packets

const serializer = require('@danke77/ble-advertise');

// Create your advertisement packet
const packet = {
  flags : [0x02, 0x04],
  incompleteUUID16 : ['2A00','2A01'],
  completeName : 'My Device'
};

// Serialize it into a Buffer
const payload = serializer.serialize(packet);

console.log(payload); // <Buffer 02 01 06 05 02 00 2a 01 2a 0a 09 4d 79 20 44 65 76 69 63 65>

You can create an advertisement packet buffer from an object with the following keys and their corresponding data types:

flags - An array of integers

incompleteUUID16 - An array of 16 bit UUID hex strings

completeUUID16 - An array of 16 bit UUID hex strings

incompleteUUID32 - An array of 32 bit UUID hex strings

completeUUID32 - An array of 32 bit UUID hex strings

incompleteUUID128 - An array of 128 bit UUID hex strings

completeUUID128 - An array of 128 bit UUID hex strings

shortName - A string

completeName - A string

txPower - An integer value

deviceClass - A hex string

pairingHashC - A hex string

pairingRandomizerR - A hex string

deviceId - A hex string

smOOBFlags - A hex string

intervalRange - An array of hex strings

solicitationUUID16 - An array of 16 bit UUID hex strings

solicitationUUID32 - An array of 16 bit UUID hex strings

solicitationUUID128 - An array of 16 bit UUID hex strings

serviceData - An array of hex strings

publicAddress - An array of hex strings

randomAddress - An array of hex strings

appearance - An array of bytes

interval - An array of hex strings

deviceAddress - An array of hex strings

role - An array of bytes or Buffer

pairingHashC256 - An array of hex strings

pairingRandomizerR256 - An array of hex strings

serviceUUID32 - An array of 32 bit UUID hex strings

serviceUUID128 - An array of 128 bit UUID hex strings

_3dInfo - An array of bytes or Buffer

mfrData - An array of bytes of Buffer
