npm install pnodeIn progress - API Unstable!
--------------
Node tests:
Browser tests:
pnode is a Node.js library, built ontop of dnode (What's dnode?),
allows applications (node and browser) to easily communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion. Since there's no centralised server,
there's no single point of failure, this ability simplifies the implementation of resilient applications by adding
redundancy.
* Simplified dnode API
* Autoreconnects and buffering like upnode
* Easily utilise different transports
* Usable in the browser with the Websockets transport
* Create your own transport types with any duplex stream
* Client function call timeouts
* Integration with cluster
* Peer-to-Peer API
* Each instance is a server and many clients
* Authentication
* Password
* Certificates
* ACL
* Proxying RPC
* Allowing client can communicate with server2 via server1 (client↔server1↔server2)
* Achieved by expose()ing another server/client
* WebRTC transport rtc:// to provide client↔client networks

npm install pnode
Note: Only node v0.10.x is currently supported
Server:
` javascript
var pnode = require('../../../');
var server = pnode.server();
server.expose({
say: function(date) {
console.log('client says ' + date);
}
});
server.bind('https://0.0.0.0:8000', function(){
console.log('bound to all interfaces on port 8000');
});
`
Client:
` javascript
var pnode = require('../../../');
var client = pnode.client();
client.bind('https://localhost:8000');
client.server(function(remote) {
remote.say(new Date());
});
`
You can use a different transport by simply changing the URI. Currently,
the following transports are avaiable:
* tcp
*
*
*
* (unix sockets)ws
* (websockets)
See basic examples
See browser examples
See this demo ('long-polling-heroku' in the examples),
since Heroku doesn't support Websockets, sockjs falls back to
XHR long polling)
with shoe maintaining stream-like behaviour.
See API docs
#### server.handle
Instead of server.listen(), you canserver.handle()
provide the streams to :
` javascript`
// handle a read and write stream
foo(function(req, res) {
server.handle(req, res);
});
// OR
// handle a duplex stream
bar(function(stream) {
server.handle(stream);
});
Each call to server.handle() will be seen as a new
client by the server.
#### client.createConnection
Instead of client.connect(), you can provide a
function which will asynchronously create
connection streams:
` javascript``
// create a read and a write stream
client.createConnection(function(readCallback, writeCallback) {
readCallback(foo.createReadStream());
writeCallback(bar.createWriteStream());
});
// OR
// create a duplex stream
client.createConnection(function(streamCallback) {
streamCallback(bar.createStream());
});
This will get called to whenever
needs to restablish a connection.
