node-dbus is a D-Bus binding for Node.js.
$ npm install dbusTo build, do: node-gyp configure build or npm install.
Node-gyp
$ npm install -g node-gyp
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp
libdbus
$ sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev
or equivalent for your system
glib2.0
$ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
or equivalent for your system
Best way to get started is by looking at the examples. After the build:
- Navigate to
path/to/dbus/examplesfolder - Run
node service.js & - Run
node hello.js
Work your way through other examples to explore supported functionality.
If no X server is running, the module fails when attempting to obtain a D-Bus
connection at dbus._dbus.getBus(). This can be remedied by setting two
environment variables manually (the actual bus address might be different):
process.env.DISPLAY = ':0';
process.env.DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS = 'unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket';
