Multi-p2p NPM | npm.io

Multi P2P

This is a simple-multi-peer fork but with a reinforced event-based API (just like socket.io) currently under development.

WebRTC multi-peer communication made simple (using simple-peer)

Installation

$ npm install --save multi-p2p

Usage

As a signalling server it is recommended to use peer-hub.

var MultiP2P = require('multi-p2p');

var Peers = new MultiP2P({
  server: 'ws://localhost:3000', // Your signaller URL.
  room: 'foobar',                // Which 'room' you'll be using to communicate with your peers
                                 // (all peers in the same room will be signalled to each other).
  callbacks: {                   // Connection related callbacks
    connect: function() {},      // -> 2 peers are connected
    close: function() {},        // -> a connection is closed
    data: function() {},         // -> any data is received
  }
});

// Send data over a subDataChannel to all peers with custom events and easy to read data.

Peers.emit("pizza", "Your pizza is ready!")

Peers.on("pizza", (data) => {
  Peers.emit("Thanks", {tips:"10$",stars:5});
})

Changes

Now logs are silent
Event based API

To DO

Broadcasting methods
Complete Rewrite
State management plugin.
FIX: Pending data accumulator/trigger for emitted events if no peers are connected (001).
FIX: WebRTC Polyfill for node environment (002).

Known Bugs

If there is no peer connected and data is being sent, there will be an error since it is unable to communicate with anything (ERROR-REF=001).
Node is not supported (ERROR-REF=002).
