### 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)
```
