Join our Discord Support Server

Connect to other peers running holesail-server. This client can connect to servers and relay the data on your system locally. It is supposed to be used as a Node.js module.

Installation

To install the Holesail Client module, use npm:

npm install holesail-client

Usage

To use the Holesail Client module, first require the module in your code:

const holesailClient = require('holesail-client');

Then, create a new instance of the holesailClient class:

const test = new holesailClient("ff14220e8155f8cd2bbeb2f6f2c3b7ed0212023449bc64b9435ec18c46b8de7f");

If you are connecting securely you need to pass the "secure" flag [Optional but recommended]

const test = new holesailClient("ff14220e8155f8cd2bbeb2f6f2c3b7ed0212023449bc64b9435ec18c46b8de7f","secure");

You can connect to holesail-server network by calling the connect method:

test.connect({port:5000, address:"127.0.0.1"}, () => {
    console.log("Listening on 127.0.0.1:5000")
});

Once you're done using the client, you can destroy the connection to the DHT network by calling the destroy method:

test.destroy();

Example

Here's a simple example of how to use the Holesail Client module:

const holesailClient = require('holesail-client');

test.connect({port:8000, address:"127.0.0.1"}, () => {
        console.log("Connected")
    }
)

setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(test.destroy())
}, 5000);
