NodeJS iDevice browser
SUMMARY
NPM for easily discovering iOS-devices (iOS6 and iOS7) connected to your local network. Emits an event every time it discovers a device. But also keeps track of which devices that been connected so you can getDevice(dateSinceLastSeen).
INSTALLING
Before installing on Debian systems. You need to apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
.
npm install idevice-browser
Or put this in your package.json
"dependencies": {
"idevice-browser": "*"
}
USAGE
You can use the module in two ways or a combination of the two. Either you can build your own implementation of which devices who is online at the moment by listening to the event emitted ideviceonline
and ideviceoffline
. Or you could get the online devices since a spesific date by idevice.getDevices(dateSinceLastSeen)
.
Example one
var idevice = require('idevice-browser');
idevice.start();
setInterval(function() {
var lastSeen = new Date();
lastSeen.setTime(lastSeen.getTime() - 3600000);
console.log(idevice.getDevices(lastSeen));
}, 5000);
Example two
var idevice = require('idevice-browser')
, devices = {}
, deletedDevices = {};
idevice.on('ideviceonline', function(device) {
devices[device.name] = device;
console.log('Found an iDevice on your network: ' + device.name, device);
});
idevice.on('ideviceoffline', function(device) {
deletedDevices[device.name] = device;
delete devices[device.name];
console.log('Remove device', device.name);
});
idevice.start();
