Install

• appnet.io depends on node-httpp, please build it from repo node-httpp

• install appnet.io module

  npm config set strict-ssl false -g
  npm i npm@2.15.9 -g    
  npm i appnet.io

• setup your own AppNet.io backend controller services refer to AppNet.io-controller

Install on Linux with Docker

Usage/API:

1. create AppNet client

var WEBPP = require('appnet.io');
var nmcln = new WEBPP({
  usrinfo: {domain: '51dese.com', usrkey: 'dese'}, // fill usrkey. And, 51dese.com is only useful domain by now
});
nmcln.on('ready', function(){
  console.log('appnet.io ready with vURL:'+nmcln.vurl);
  // ...
});

2. hook node.js web server in peer. Websocket server is supported with wspp module as well. This is an express App example. file peerweb.js.

var express = require('express');
var WebSocket = require('wspp');
var WebSocketServer = WebSocket.Server;
var WEBPP = require('appnet.io');
var nmcln = new WEBPP({
  usrinfo: {domain: '51dese.com', usrkey: 'dese'}, // fill your usrkey. And, 51dese.com is only useful domain by now
});
nmcln.on('ready', function(){
  // 2.1
  // create your express App
  var app = express();
  app.use(express.directory(__dirname + '/public'));
  app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
  app.use(function(req, res){
      res.end('invalid path');
  });
  // hook app on business server
  nmcln.bsrv.srv.on('request', app);
  console.log('Now access your web server via URL:'+nmcln.vurl);
  // 2.2
  // create your websocket server
  var wss = new WebSocketServer({httpp: true, server: nmcln.bsrv.srv});
  wss.on('connection', function(client){
    console.log('new ws connection');
  });
  console.log('Now connect to your websocket server via URL:'+nmcln.vurl);
});

3. launch web server by node-httpp nodejs binary like bin/win32/node.exe peerweb.js in Windows32 machine.

4. STUN/TURN session setup case, please refer to demos/clnt.js
