Interact

Interact creates a peer to peer connection between your desktop and your mobile device.

See remote controller or drawing board.

Installation

$ npm install interact

Getting started

Server

Interact is a nodejs server. It's API inherits from express and is very clean and easy. Let's say you want to create a communication channel called foo:

var app = require('interact')();

//create coomunication channel
app.room('foo', 'view');

see api for more details.

Well, that's it! Nothing more.

Client

Interact is also a web socket client.

<script src="/interact/interact.js"></script>

Communicate with an interact server is dead simple!

var channel = interact('foo');
channel.emit('next');
channel.on('previous', function() {
 //do something
});

Ecosystem

My wish is to create an ecosytem of self-contained apps around Interact. An app is a service that you could reuse multiple times and in separate projects. For example, use your mobile as a remote controller and pair it (thanks to a qrcode) with a web presentation (slides) would be as easy as:

interact('foo')
  .use(qrcode)
  .use(controller)
  .use(slides)

API

Server

app.room(name, view, token)

Create an interact room. A room is a peer to peer channel between a client and your server.

app.room('foo', 'view');

The second argument is a view redirection. It's the view the server will serve to the client.
