> discovery-swarm for webrtc
This module provides a "similar" API to discovery-swarm but for WebRTC connections.
It has a few differences to discovery-swarm:
- It needs a signaling server. We give you [one](#server).
- It uses [mmst](https://github.com/RangerMauve/mostly-minimal-spanning-tree) to minimize the connections. Check the example.
- `join` and `leave` only accepts Buffers.
- `leave` and `close` accepts a callback argument or returns a Promise.
## Install
```
$ npm install @geut/discovery-swarm-webrtc
```
## Usage
You can run your own signal server by running:
```
$ discovery-swarm-webrtc --port=4000
```
#### Public Servers
- wss://geut-webrtc-signal-v3.glitch.me
- wss://geut-webrtc-signal-v3.herokuapp.com
#### Deploy to Heroku
[](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/geut/discovery-swarm-webrtc/tree/master)
### Client
```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto')
const swarm = require('@geut/discovery-swarm-webrtc')
const sw = swarm({
bootstrap: ['ws://localhost:4000']
})
const topic = crypto.createHash('sha256')
.update('my-discovery-swarm-topic')
.digest()
sw.join(topic)
sw.on('connection', peer => {
// connected
})
```
## API
#### `const sw = swarm(opts)`
Creates a new Swarm.
`opts` include:
```javascript
{
id: crypto.randomBytes(32), // peer-id for user
bootstrap: [string], // urls to your websocket endpoints
stream: (info) => stream, // stream to replicate across peers
simplePeer: {}, // options for the simplePeer instances,
maxPeers: 5, // max connections by peer
timeout: 15 * 1000, // defines the time to wait to establish a connection
}
```
#### `sw.join(Buffer)`
Join a specific channel. We use behind it `simple-signal` + `simple-peer`.
#### `const promise = sw.leave(Buffer)`
Leave from specific channel. Destroy all the connections and leave the channel.
#### `const promise = sw.close([callback])`
Close the entire swarm. Destroy all the connections and disconnect from the signal.
#### `const arrayOfPeers = sw.getPeers([channel])`
Returns the list of connected peers for a specific channel.
Channel is `optional`, if you don't pass it you get the entire list of peers.
#### `sw.connect(channel: Buffer, peerId: Buffer) -> Promise`
Connect directly to a specific peer.
### Events
#### `sw.on('handshaking', function(connection, info) { ... })`
Emitted when you've connected to a peer and are now initializing the connection's session. Info is an object that contains information about the connection.
`info` include:
``` js
{
id: Buffer // the remote peer's peer-id.
channel: Buffer // the channel this connection was initiated on.
initiator: Boolean // whether we initiated the connection or someone else did
}
```
#### `sw.on('connection', function(connection, info) { ... })`
Emitted when you have fully connected to another peer. Info is an object that contains info about the connection.
#### `sw.on('connection-closed', function(connection, info) { ... })`
Emitted when you've disconnected from a peer. Info is an object that contains info about the connection.
#### `sw.on('leave', function(channel) { ... })`
Emitted when you left a channel.
#### `sw.on('close', function() { ... })`
Emitted when the swarm was closed.
#### `sw.on('candidates-updated', function(channel, candidates) { ... })`
Emitted when the candidates peer for a specific channel was updated. `candidates` is an array of Buffer id.
