The socket.io middleware that powers socket.io-p2p. It handles passing signalling data between all peers. Just include the middleware and everything is handled for you.
Simple require the module and use it.
var p2pserver = require('socket.io-p2p-server').Server
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.use(p2pserver)
For example, in an express powered app, you can do the following:
var app = require('express')()
var server = require('http').Server(app)
var p2pserver = require('socket.io-p2p-server').Server
var io = require('socket.io')(server)
app.use(express.static(__dirname))
io.use(p2pserver)
server.listen(3030, function () {
console.log("Listening on 3030")
})
It can also be used inside your connection logic so that you can specify a room that clients will communicate over:
p2pserver(socket, null, room)
Note that null
must be passed as the second arguement when being used in this context.
