API

Constructor (3 Ways to do it)

If no roomId is passed, a new one will be assigned automatically and printed in the console.

NodeJS only with deasync support

const V = require('v')
const v = new V([roomId])

Callback

const V = require('v')
V([roomId,] v => {

})

Promise

const V = require('v')
V([roomId]).then(v => {

}).catch(e => {

})

Custom Opts

The opts object has the following options and their default options listed

myOpts = {
  roomId: '',
  server: 'wss://api.online.vars'
}

Use it:

const v = new V(myOpts)

Debug logs

V comes with extensive debugging logs. Each V instance and constructor-call has it own debug namespace.

In node, enable debug logs by setting the DEBUG environment variable to *

DEBUG=* node myProgram.js

In the browser, enable debug logs by running this in the developer console:

localStorage.debug = '*'

Disable by running this:

localStorage.removeItem('debug')

v

Usage no npm install needed!
