A note on CORS

daap.js uses XMLHttpRequest internally. Therefore it depends heavily on CORS which isn't supported by any known daap server currently. To enable Cors for your daap server you could put it behind a http proxy that adds CORS headers.

Example Apache proxy config for CORS

Listen 3690

NameVirtualHost *:3690

<VirtualHost *:3690>
  ProxyRequests On
  <Proxy>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  ProxyPass / http://<server-url>:3689/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://<server-url>:3689/
  Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
  Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET
</VirtualHost>"

Example usage

Example in ES2015/ES6

import Daap from 'daap.js';

/* Daap accepts server and port. Per default server is 127.0.0.1 */
/* and port 3689. server can be an IP or domain name */
let daap = Daap({server: '192.168.1.123'});

daap.serverinfo().then(function(server_info) {
    console.log(server_info);
})

/* set password if your server requires one */
daap.setPassword('.....');

daap.login().then(() => {
    console.log('Yeah I am connected to my daap server');
    return daap.items();
}).then(items => {
    console.log('I have got ' + items.length + ' songs from my daap server');

    for (song of items) {
      console.log('Found song ' + song.name + ' from ' + song.artist);
    }
}).catch(error => {
    console.error('An error occured', error);
});
