Readme
Synchronizes local browser time with server time using clock synchronization algorithm, similar to NTP.
##Installation
Ensure angular, socket.io and ng-server-time are installed correctly
npm install socket.io npm install angular npm install ng-server-time
Ensure you have an angular socket.io factory such as this one, it is required by the server time factory:
app.factory('socket', function() { var socket = io.connect(); return socket; });
Include
ng-server-time-factory.min.js
:<script src="/socket.io.js"></script> <script src="/angular.min.js"></script> <script src="/ng-server-time-factory.min.js"></script> <script src="/my-angular-app.js"></script>
Initilaize the socket on the server:
var server_time = require('ng-server-time'); io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) { server_time.init(socket); });
###Usage
app.controller('MainController', function($scope, ServerTime){
// Date.now() on the server
$scope.now = ServerTime.now();
// new Date() on the server
$scope.new = ServerTime.new();
// get offset in milliseconds between current browser
// time and server time
$scope.getOffset = ServerTime.getOffset();
});
