# cordova-chrome-net ### Use the Node `net` API in cordova Apps with the chrome-socket plugins This module lets you use the Node.js [net](http://nodejs.org/api/net.html) (TCP) API in cordova/ionic mobile apps using `cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-tcp` and `cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-tcpserver` plugins for cordova. Instead of learning the quirks of Chrome's `chrome.sockets` API for networking in Chrome Apps just **use the higher-level node API you're familiar with**. Then, compile your code with [browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) and you're all set! This module is used by [cordova-bitcore](https://github.com/theveloped/cordova-bitcore.git). ## install ``` npm install cordova-chrome-net ``` ## methods Use node's `net` API, including all parameter list shorthands and variations. Example TCP client: ```js var net = require('cordova-chrome-net') var client = net.createConnection({ port: 1337, host: '127.0.0.1' }) client.write('beep') client.on('data', function (data) { console.log(data) }) // .pipe() streaming API works too! ``` Example TCP server: ```js var net = require('cordova-chrome-net') var server = net.createServer() server.on('listening', function () { console.log('listening') }) server.on('connection', function (sock) { console.log('Connection from ' + sock.remoteAddress + ':' + sock.remotePort) sock.on('data', function (data) { console.log(data) }) }) server.listen(1337) ``` See nodejs.org for full API documentation: [net](http://nodejs.org/api/net.html) ## license MIT.
