peer-server#

peer-server makes it easy to create request/response style peer to peer applications. It builds on top of PeerJS to make it easy for you to send and handle requests from peers.

How to use peer-server###

import * as PeerServer from 'peer-server'

// peerId and options are analogous to the peerJS Peer constructor parameters
PeerServer.startServer(peerId, options).then((peerId) => {
  console.log(peerId) // your peerId
})

/* sending a request */
PeerServer.sendRequest(somePeerId, {
  'name of request': {} // whatever the value is here will be the value of req in the handler
}, (err, data) => {
  err // will be any error from the connection and data transfer process
  data // any data that the peer sends back
})


/* handling requests */

PeerServer.on('name of request', requestHandler)

function requestHandler (req, res) {
  req // the payload data that was sent from the peer
  res({}) // will send the response data back to the other peer, can send any data
}
