p2p-broadcast

Simple P2P message broadcasting

Install

npm install p2p-broadcast

Usage

const node = new Node({
  port: 6000,
  seedHosts: ['example.com:1234'],
  minPeers: 3,
  maxPeers: 10,
  debug: console.log,
  validate: message => {} // will ignore message if error is thrown
})

All options are optional.

Example

import { Node } from 'p2p-broadcast'

const seedHosts = ['localhost:6000']

const a = new Node({ port: 6000 })
const b = new Node({ seedHosts })
const c = new Node({ port: 6001, seedHosts, onConnect })

const onBeep = n => ({ id, name, data, peer, hops }) => {
  console.log(n, name, data)
}

a.on('beep', onBeep('a'))
b.on('beep', onBeep('b'))
c.on('beep', onBeep('c'))

c.broadcast('beep', { hello: 'world' })

// --- output ---
// a beep { hello: 'world' }
// b beep { hello: 'world' }

const onConnect = ({ peer }) => console.log(Connected to ${peer.node.host})

Network Topology

New nodes join the network to form a partial mesh network topology.
