mm-services-mdns

directory service to store connection information for remote peers

works with MicroMinion platform

Initialization

``js
var MicroMinionPlatform = require('mm-platform')
var MulticastDNS = require('mm-services-mdns')

var platform = new MicroMinionPlatform()

var mdns = new MulticastDNS({platform: platform})
`


Messaging API

$3

#### nodeInfo: Javascript object with node information

* boxId: base64 encoded public encryption key used by nacl
* signId: base64 encoded public signature key used by nacl
* connectionInfo: javascript dictionary with 1tp connection information

$3

#### self.transports.nodeInfo

Publishes connection information for remote node

`js
var MicroMinionPlatform = require('mm-platform')
var MulticastDNS = require('mm-services-mdns')

var platform = new MicroMinionPlatform()

var mdns = new MulticastDNS({platform: platform})

platform.messaging.on('self.transports.nodeInfo', function(topic, sender, nodeInfo) {
console.log(topic) // 'self.transports.nodeInfo'
console.log(sender) // 'local'
console.log(nodeInfo) // {boxId: , signId: , connectionInfo: <1tp connectionInfo>}
})

`

#### self.transports.nodeInfoBootstrap

Publishes bootstrap information for remote nodes (used by DHT)

`js
var MicroMinionPlatform = require('mm-platform')
var MulticastDNS = require('mm-services-mdns')

var platform = new MicroMinionPlatform()

var mdns = new MulticastDNS({platform: platform})

platform.messaging.on('self.transports.nodeInfo', function(topic, sender, nodeInfo) {
console.log(topic) // 'self.transports.nodeInfo'
console.log(sender) // 'local'
console.log(nodeInfo) // {boxId: , signId: , connectionInfo: <1tp connectionInfo>}
})

`

$3

#### self.transports.myNodeInfo

Uses our own node information to broadcast on local network through mdns

You'll never need to send this message since this is triggered from the platform object

`js
var MicroMinionPlatform = require('mm-platform')
var MulticastDNS = require('mm-services-mdns')

var platform = new MicroMinionPlatform()

var mdns = new MulticastDNS({platform: platform})

var nodeInfo = {
boxId: platform.directory.identity.getBoxId()
signId: platform.directory.identity.getSignId()
connectionInfo: platform.directory._connectionInfo
}

platform.messaging.send('transports.myNodeInfo', 'local', nodeInfo)
`

#### self.transports.requestBootstrapNodeInfo

Request message that triggers 'nodeInfoBootstrap' responses

Needed if you want to implement your own directory service or want to discover local nodes

`js
var MicroMinionPlatform = require('mm-platform')
var MulticastDNS = require('mm-services-mdns')

var platform = new MicroMinionPlatform()

var mdns = new MulticastDNS({platform: platform})

platform.messaging.send('transports.requestBootstrapNodeInfo', 'local', {})
