organic-plasma-channel

organic-plasma v2.0 based organelle providing support for cross-cell peer to peer bi-directional communication based on discovery-swarm

install

npm install organic-plasma-channel

setup

Add the following dna per every cell which needs to communicate through a channel

{
  "source": "organic-plasma-channel",
  "port": Number,
  "channelName": String,
  "swarmOpts": {},
  "emitReady": String || false,
  "log": false,
  "debug": false,
  "disabled": false
}

notes

• port is optional but if provided should be different for different cells on single host
• emitReady accepts false or String values, when String is provided it will be used to emit a chemical of that type when ready and listening for peers
• swarmOpts is optional and if present will be passed as-is to discovery-swarm's constructor

use

Having cell1 and cell2 both configured to join in channel1.

emit chemical and receive first callback from cells

plasma.emit({
  type: 'myChemical',
  channel: 'channel1'
}, function callback (err, data) {
  ...
})

emit chemical and receive every callback from all cells who respond

plasma.emit({
  type: 'myChemical',
  channel: 'channel1'
}, function callback (err, data) {
  ...
})

listen for chemicals and respond with callback

plasma.on({
  type: 'myChemical',
  channel: 'channel1'
}, function listenHandler (c, callback) {
  // do work with c
  callback(err, data)
})

notes

• callback is optional
