Allows posting small (up to 256-bit) messages, signed with Ethereum accounts, to rooms identified by a 48-bit name. Clients can then watch rooms, which are synchronized using WebSockets (and, in a future, WebRTC). This is used as a sandboxed communication environment for Formality apps running on the Moonad ecosystem.
To start a server, just do:
git clone http://github.com/moonad/events
cd events
node server.js 7171
The code below will connect to a server running on localhost:7171, with a test
Ethereum private key. It will then watch the room 0 and make an example post
to it. It will then display on the console all posts of this room, and update in
real-time whenever there is a new post.
var client = require("./client.js");
var api = client({
url: "ws://localhost:7171",
key: "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
});
// When connected, watches room 0 and makes an example post.
api.on_init(() => {
var room = "0x000000000000";
var post = "0x1230000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000321";
// Watches the room
api.watch_room(room);
// Posts a 256-bit message to it
api.send_post(room, post);
});
// When there is a new posts, print all posts we have recorded.
api.on_post((post, Posts) => {
console.clear();
console.log(JSON.stringify(Posts, null, 2));
});
