event-swarm

Cross-machine events made simple.

Easily send events across machines on the same network, built using airswarm for network discovery and simple TCP sockets.

Example:

import EventSwarm from 'event-swarm';
 
// On first machine...
let swarm = new EventSwarm({ channel: 'chat' });
 
swarm.on('ping', e => {
  // e.sender is the id of the sender.
  // e.data is the payload of the message (automatically (de)serialized).
  // e.event is the event name.
  // e.created is the millisecond timestamp of when the source created it.
 
  console.log('pong', e.data);
});
 
 
// On second machine...
let swarm = new EventSwarm({ channel: 'chat' });
 
swarm.emit('ping', {
  string: 'Hello!',
  num: 10,
  date: new Date()
});
 

Features:

• Built on airswarm.
• Channels allow for multiple swarms to exist on the same network.
• Built-in events for connection and disconnection.
• Broadcast events or send events to specific peers.
