BUGswarm participation NodeJS library

This library allows you to send and receive messages and binary data to BUGswarm in realtime, communicate with resources within one swarm as well as resources spread out in different swarms.

This library is an implementation of BUGswarm Participation API.

Features

• Sends and receives private and public messages, as well as presence, between swarms and resources.
• Sends and receives binary files.

Installation

npm install bugswarm-prt

Usage example

Producing and consuming data:

var Swarm = require('bugswarm-prt').Swarm;
 
var options = {
    apikey: 'YOUR PARTICIPATION API KEY',
    resource: 'YOUR RESOURCE ID WITH PERMISSIONS TO CONSUME AND PRODUCE',
    swarms: ['YOUR SWARM ID']
};
 
var prosumer = new Swarm(options);
 
prosumer.on('message', function(message) {
    console.log('message: ' + JSON.stringify(message));
});
 
prosumer.on('error', function(err) {
    console.log(err);
});
 
prosumer.on('connect', function(err) {
    console.log('Connected!');
 
    //Let's start sending random temperatures
    //from Central Park!
    setInterval(function() {
        prosumer.send(JSON.stringify({
            'temperature': Math.floor((Math.random() * 100) + 1)
        }));
    }, 2000);
});
 
prosumer.on('presence', function(presence) {
    console.log('presence: ' + JSON.stringify(presence));
});
 
prosumer.on('disconnect', function() {
    console.log('disconnected');
});
 
//here is where the execution flow starts
prosumer.connect();
