node-mpdsocket
mpdsocket
is a node.js client for MPD. It is loosely based on (but aims to be more usable than) robinduckett/node-mpd.
Usage
Example
var mpdSocket = require('mpdsocket');
var mpd = new mpdSocket('localhost','6600');
mpd.on('connect',function() {
mpd.send('status',function(r) {
console.log(r);
});
});
Functions
mpdSocket.on(event,fn)
adds event handlers to the net.Socket object directly.mpdSocket.send(req,callback)
sends a request to MPD with a callback function.
Return objects
mpdsocket
parses the output from the MPD protocol into a JavaScript object. This object has three meta-attributes that mpdsocket adds:
_OK
denotes that the request was completed successfully._error
is the error returned if_OK
is false._ordered_list
denotes that the object is an ordered list (see section below).
Ordered lists
Some MPD commands, like listplaylists
, will return an ordered list of objects. The structure of these objects looks like this:
{ '1':
{ playlist: 'playlist-1',
'Last-Modified': '2011-03-19T06:39:44Z' },
'2':
{ playlist: 'playlist-2',
'Last-Modified': '2011-03-19T06:41:08Z' },
_ordered_list: true,
_OK: true
}
