osc4node

osc4node is the one of OpenSoundControl protocol implementation for Node.js.
This library is developed based on node-osc, with more flexible and useful features.

Module Dependencies

socket.io
express (for the example app)

Installation

$ npm install osc4node

Usage

Basically:

// import module
var osc = require('osc4node');

// create osc server and client
var server = new osc.Server(11000, 'localhost')
  , client = new osc.Client('localhost', 12000);

// create osc message
var message = new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 'hello world');

// send
server.send(message, client);

You may find more usage in ./example/app.js

Message syntax

Simply pass the address and an argument. Any String or Number(int/float) are allowed.

new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 'hello'); // string
new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 12345); // int
new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 123.45); // float

We can pass some arguments using array or multiple value at one time.

// Array
new osc.Message('/foo/bar', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

// Multiple arguments
new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 'hello', 123, 4.5);

Osc message also has add() method.

var message = new osc.Message('/foo/bar');
message.add('hello');
message.add('bonjour');

Bundle syntax

Bundle is also available. It can be used almost same as Message.

var msg1 = new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 1)
  , msg2 = new osc.Message('/baz/qux', 2);

// create Bundle
var bundle = new osc.Bundle();
bundle.add(msg1);
bundle.add(msg2);

server.send(bundle, client);

var msg1 = new osc.Message('/foo/bar', 1)
  , msg2 = new osc.Message('/baz/qux', 2);

var bundle = new osc.Bundle(msg1, msg2);

server.send(bundle, client);

Passing multiple argumetns or an Array will support soon.
