fauxtawn v4.0.3

Fauxtawn

Pronounced "Photon", fauxtawn is a node wrapper for the Unity Photon Javascript SDK, which is documented here.

The Unity Photon Javascript SDK expects a WebSocket that works a little bit differently than node WebSockets, so this has been changed to match. Also, the __extends function has been moved to Photon.extends so that it can be exported with the rest of the code.

Let's Get Started

Javascript doesn't really support classical inheritance like you would find in C#.

Some people might think of this as an excuse to write the library in a style idiomatic to the JavaScript language - but not the developers of this library. Nope, this library is going to do everything it can to pretend to be C#.

So you're going to be implementing your functionality as a subclass of a parent class, where you override any functions that you need.

Install it with:

npm install -s fauxtawn

Then use it like this:

let Photon = require("fauxtawn").Photon;

let regionMaster = 'US';
let appId = '3e3ee33e-0999-3eee-e3ee-33333eeeee3e';
let version = '1.0';
// If you're using PUN networking, you'll need to include the PUN version with your version.
// let pun_version = '1.51';
// version = `${version}_${pun_version}`;

var DemoLoadBalancing = (function (_super) {
    Photon.extends(DemoLoadBalancing, _super);
    function DemoLoadBalancing() {
        _super.call(this, Photon.ConnectionProtocol.Wss, appId, version);
        console.log(this.logger.format("Init", this.getNameServerAddress(), appId, version));
    }
    DemoLoadBalancing.prototype.start = function () {
        // connect if no fb auth required
        this.connectToRegionMaster(regionMaster);
    };
    DemoLoadBalancing.prototype.onRoomList = function(rooms) {
        console.log(rooms);
        this.disconnect();
    }
    return DemoLoadBalancing;
}(Photon.LoadBalancing.LoadBalancingClient));

Ta da! A script that allows you to pull a list of rooms out of Photon. Nice.

I want to do more, different things, though.

That sounds hard! You'd best figure that out on your own! Use the API documentation!
