OpenBazaar Connector

SDK for connecting to the OpenBazaar websocket.

Usage

var connector = require('openbazaar-connector')(hostname, port);

// Function arity is (cmd, [params], cb)
connector.sendCommand('check_order_count', {}, function(data) {
  // Order data here
})

// You can also use any supported function directly. See functions.js.
connector.check_inbox_count(function(data) {
  // Inbox data here
});

// Some requests return multiple datagrams, like `peers`, which returns each
// peer as the DHT returns it (which can take a lot of time).
// Subscribe to a stream and the callback will be called each time data
// comes back.
connector.subscribe('peers', function(data) {
  // Peer data here
});

// Bind to raw data (this is the firehose)
connector.on('data', onData)

// Catch errors
connector.on('error', onError)

// Catch 'connect', 'reconnect', and 'disconnect' events.
connector.on('connect', onConnect)
connector.on('reconnect', onReconnect)
connector.on('disconnect', onDisconnect)

Available functions

The following is a list of functions available to be called.

You can get this in text format here.

Yellow items follow the standard req/res model, but some may not return any data.

White items should be treated as subscriptions as they may return multiple datagrams.

Orange items are deprecated.
