Readme
A Bonjour/Zeroconf protocol implementation in pure JavaScript. Publish services on the local network or discover existing services using multicast DNS.
npm install bonjour
var bonjour = require('bonjour')()
// advertise an HTTP server on port 3000
bonjour.publish({ name: 'My Web Server', type: 'http', port: 3000 })
// browse for all http services
bonjour.find({ type: 'http' }, function (service) {
console.log('Found an HTTP server:', service)
})
var bonjour = require('bonjour')([options])
The options
are optional and will be used when initializing the
underlying multicast-dns server. For details see the multicast-dns
documentation.
var service = bonjour.publish(options)
Publishes a new service.
Options are:
name
(string)host
(string, optional) - defaults to local hostnameport
(number)type
(string)subtypes
(array of strings, optional)protocol
(string, optional) - udp
or tcp
(default)txt
(object, optional) - a key/value object to broadcast as the TXT
recordIANA maintains a list of official service types and port numbers.
bonjour.unpublishAll([callback])
Unpublish all services. The optional callback
will be called when the
services have been unpublished.
bonjour.destroy()
Destroy the mdns instance. Closes the udp socket.
var browser = bonjour.find(options[, onup])
Listen for services advertised on the network. An optional callback can
be provided as the 2nd argument and will be added as an event listener
for the up
event.
Options (all optional):
type
(string)subtypes
(array of strings)protocol
(string) - defaults to tcp
txt
(object) - passed into dns-txt
module contructor. Set to { binary: true }
if you want to keep the TXT records in binaryvar browser = bonjour.findOne(options[, callback])
Listen for and call the callback
with the first instance of a service
matching the options
. If no callback
is given, it's expected that

event. The returned browser
will automatically
