localswarm

build status

Network swarm that automagically discovers other peers on the same host using a unix socket and tcp ports. It offers the same API of airswarm.

npm install localswarm --save

Usage

var localswarm = require('localswarm')
 
localswarm('testing', function (sock) {
  sock.write('hello world (' + process.pid + ')\n')
  sock.pipe(process.stdout)
})

If you run the above program in a couple of processes on the same local network the swarms should start connecting to each other and write hello world

API

swarm = localswarm(name, [options], [onpeer])

Create a new swarm. The swarm will emit peer everytime a new peer is connected. Optionally you can pass a peer listener as the second argument.

The peer will be a tcp stream to another swarm.

swarm.peers

An array containing all the currently connected peers
