websocket-remote-control-server-test v0.0.7

websockets-remote-control-server

This library initializes the Websockets server. Maintains a list of connected clients, in addition to running validations and listening to events.

When a client connects (through a socket), the server is attentive of the following events:

• getSpecialNumber: Sends the socket id and the Special Number to the screen. The Special Number is an auto-generated token used for pairing both devices.

• linkController: Validates that the screen and the controller are correctly paired.

• alreadyLinked: Emits an event alerting the involved sockets that the client which is trying connect is already paired.

• data: Validates that the data received is an url and is from an existent client. If the validation is correct, the data is sended to the client.

Installation

npm install websockets-remote-control-server

(tentative)

// app.js (in our example)

let WebControlServer = require('websocket-remote-control-server');

And done! Now, you should install and use the client library to be able to listen and answer to the previously listed events.
