(signalhub
Simple signalling server that can be used to coordinate handshaking with webrtc or other fun stuff.
npm install signalhub
Or to install the command line tool
npm install -g signalhub
Usage
var signalhub = require('signalhub')
var hub = signalhub('my-app-name', [
'http://yourhub.com'
])
hub.subscribe('my-channel')
.on('data', function (message) {
console.log('new message received', message)
})
hub.broadcast('my-channel', {hello: 'world'})
API
hub = signalhub(appName, urls)
Create a new hub client. If you have more than one hub running specify them in an array
// use more than one server for redundancy
var hub = signalhub('my-app-name', [
'https://signalhub1.example.com',
'https://signalhub2.example.com',
'https://signalhub3.example.com'
])
The appName is used to namespace the subscriptions/broadcast so you can reuse the
signalhub for more than one app.
stream = hub.subscribe(channel)
Subscribe to a channel on the hub. Returns a readable stream of messages
hub.broadcast(channel, message, [callback])
Broadcast a new message to a channel on the hub
hub.close([callback])
Close all subscriptions
CLI API
You can use the command line api to run a hub server
signalhub listen -p 8080 # starts a signalhub server on 8080
To listen on https, use the --key and --cert flags to specify the path to the private
key and certificate files, respectively. These will be passed through to the node https
package.
To avoid logging to console on every subscribe/broadcast event use the --quiet or -q flag.
Or broadcast/subscribe to channels
signalhub broadcast my-app my-channel '{"hello":"world"}' -p 8080 -h yourhub.com
signalhub subscribe my-app my-channel -p 8080 -h yourhub.com
