TCP in React Native
node's net API in React Native
This module is used by Peel
Install
Create a new react-native project. Check react-native getting started
In your project dir:
npm install react-native-tcp --save
Note for iOS: If your react-native version < 0.40 install with this tag instead:
npm install [email protected] --save
Link in the native dependency
react-native link react-native-tcp
Additional dependencies
Due to limitations in the react-native packager, streams need to be hacked in with rn-nodeify
- install rn-nodeify as a dev-dependency
npm install --save-dev rn-nodeify
- run rn-nodeify manually
rn-nodeify --install stream,process,util --hack
- optionally you can add this as a postinstall script
"postinstall": "rn-nodeify --install stream,process,util --hack"
Usage
package.json
only if you want to write require('net') in your javascript
{
"browser": {
"net": "react-native-tcp"
}
}
JS
see/run index.ios.js/index.android.js for a complete example, but basically it's just like net
var net = require('net');
// OR, if not shimming via package.json "browser" field:
// var net = require('react-native-tcp')
var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {
socket.write('excellent!');
}).listen(12345);
var client = net.createConnection(12345);
client.on('error', function(error) {
console.log(error)
});
client.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('message was received', data)
});
TODO
add select tests from node's tests for net
PR's welcome!
