Overview
Like the left brow sometimes needs to converse with the right, Monobrow aims to serve the same purpose for different technologies. It provides a simple, abstracted, messaging protocol that makes it easy to message from one language/platform to another.
If you're interested their are a number of clients for other languages including:
- Objective-C
- JavaScript (Web)
- ActionScript (Flex/Flash)
You can see all of these as well as planned future clients at https://github.com/mcgaryes/monobrow.
Installation
[project-directory] $ npm install monobrow-server --save
Implementation
var Server = require("monobrow-server").Server;
var server = new Server({
host:"127.0.0.1",
port:8889,
whitelist: ["127.0.0.1"]
});
server.start();
Server States
-
running- The server is running on the specified host and port.
-
stopped- The server has stopped with or without an error.
Events
There are four events emitted for a server instance. stageChange, clientDidConnect and clientDidDisconnect, clientWasRejected. These can be accessed as such:
...
server.on(Server.STATE_CHANGE,function(state){
if(state === Server.RUNNING) {
console.log("Server is running at " + server.address);
}
});
