# TCP in React Native

node's [net](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html) API in React Native

This module is used by [Peel](http://www.peel.com/)

## Install

* Create a new react-native project. [Check react-native getting started](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content)

* In your project dir:

```

npm install react-native-tcp --save

```

__Note for iOS:__ If your react-native version < 0.40 install with this tag instead:

```

npm install [email protected] --save

```

## Link in the native dependency

```

react-native link react-native-tcp

```

## Additional dependencies

### Due to limitations in the react-native packager, streams need to be hacked in with [rn-nodeify](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rn-nodeify)

1. install rn-nodeify as a dev-dependency

``` npm install --save-dev rn-nodeify ```

2. run rn-nodeify manually

``` rn-nodeify --install stream,process,util --hack ```

3. optionally you can add this as a postinstall script

``` "postinstall": "rn-nodeify --install stream,process,util --hack" ```

## Usage

### package.json

_only if you want to write require('net') in your javascript_

```json

{

  "browser": {

    "net": "react-native-tcp"

  }

}

```

### JS

_see/run [index.ios.js/index.android.js](examples/rctsockets) for a complete example, but basically it's just like net_

```js

var net = require('net');

// OR, if not shimming via package.json "browser" field:

// var net = require('react-native-tcp')

var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {

  socket.write('excellent!');

}).listen(12345);

var client = net.createConnection(12345);

client.on('error', function(error) {

  console.log(error)

});

client.on('data', function(data) {

  console.log('message was received', data)

});

```

### TODO

add select tests from node's tests for net

PR's welcome!
