Kad WebRTC Transport

A WebRTC transport adapter for Kad.

Setup

npm install kad@1.2.0-beta kad-webrtc

Usage

var Node = require('kad').Node;
var WebRTC = require('kad-webrtc');

var dht = new Node({
  // ...
  transport: WebRTC(WebRTC.Contact({ nick: 'mynickname' }), {
    signaller: SignalServer // see examples
  })
});

dht.connect({ nick: 'somebody' }, function(err) {
  console.log('party!');
});

Usage from Node

If you want to use this package from Node, or if you want to run the tests in this package, you will need to manually install the wrtc dependency.

You can do this by running:

npm install wrtc@0.0.59

The reason for this is that the wrtc dependency doesn't install correctly on many platforms. So we leave it up to the user whether they want to include it or not.

Additionally, you will need to pass a reference to wrtc to the transport:

var Node = require('kad').Node;
var WebRTC = require('kad-webrtc');
var wrtc = require('wrtc');

var dht = new Node({
  // ...
  transport: WebRTC(WebRTC.Contact({ nick: 'mynickname' }), {
    wrtc: wrtc,
    signaller: SignalServer // see examples
  })
});

dht.connect({ nick: 'somebody' }, function(err) {
  console.log('party!');
});

Examples

To build the examples, run npm run build-examples.

After that, look at the READMEs in each example directory to see how to run them.
