node-dde-with-edge-js

node-dde-with-edge-js is a simplified regacy win32 Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) wrapper for node.js using Edge.js and NDde. The client listen to the asynchronous advise on multi-threaded CLR without blocking the node.js event loop.

Installation

Run the following in your project folder:

npm install node-dde-with-edge-js

Example

Client

Example to listen to the asynchronous advise from a single service-topic-item source is the following:

var dde = require("node-dde-with-edge-js");

client = dde.createClient("myapp", "mytopic");

client.on("advise", function (service, topic, item, text) {
  console.log(
    "OnAdvise: " +
      "Service: " +
      service +
      ", Topic: " +
      topic +
      ", Item: " +
      item +
      ", Text: " +
      text
  );
});

client.connect();

client.startAdvise("myitem");

Example to listen to the asynchronous advise from multiple service-topic-item sources is the following:

var dde = require("node-dde-with-edge-js");

clients = dde.createClients({
  myapp: {
    mytopic1: ["myitem1", "myitem2"],
    mytopic2: ["myitem1", "myitem2"],
  },
});

clients.on("advise", function (service, topic, item, text) {
  console.log(
    "OnAdvise: " +
      "Service: " +
      service +
      ", Topic: " +
      topic +
      ", Item: " +
      item +
      ", Text: " +
      text
  );
});

clients.connect();

clients.startAdvise();

Example of sending an asynchronous advise to the browser in realtime using Socket.IO is the following:

var io = require("socket.io").listen(80);

var dde = require("node-dde-with-edge-js").createClient("myapp", "mytopic");

dde.on("advise", function (service, topic, item, text) {
  io.sockets.emit("advise", { item: item, text: text });
});

dde.connect();

dde.startAdvise("myitem");

Server

Example to push the asynchronous advise to the client is the following:

var dde = require("node-dde-with-edge-js");

server = dde.createServer("myapp");

server.on("disconnect", function (service, topic) {
  console.log("OnDisconnect: " + "Service: " + service + ", Topic: " + topic);
});

server.on("advise", function (topic, item, format) {
  console.log(
    "OnAdvise: " + "Topic: " + topic + ", Item: " + item + ", Format: " + format
  );
});

var i = 0;
server.onAdvise = function () {
  return "advise-" + i++;
};

setInterval(function () {
  server.advise("*", "*");
}, 1000);

server.register();
