# node-machinetalk

This project is in a very early phase. Its goal is to provide an easy to use API for discovering, monitoring and controlling Machinetalk instances.

## Installation

```sh

npm install --save machinetalk

```

## Usage

```js

var machinetalk = require('machinetalk');

// Initiate a machine browser that discovers Machinetalk

// machines on the network with their capabilities (services).

var browser = new machinetalk.MachineTalkBrowser();

// Wait for services to be discovered.

browser.on('serviceUp', function(service) {

  // We are only interested in the 'status' service.

  if (service.name !== 'status') { return; }

  // Initiate a status client that can retrieve status updates.

  var statusclient = new machinetalk.StatusClient(service.dsn);

  // Wait for status updates for motion and print them.

  statusclient.on('motionstatuschanged', function(status) {

    console.log('Machine position: ',

      status.position.x,

      status.position.y,

      status.position.z

    );

  });

  // Connect to the status service.

  // We are only interested in 'motion' updates.

  statusclient.connect();

  statusclient.subscribe('motion');

});

// Start discovering machines.

browser.start();

```
