This repo houses are pure .Net version of the Buttplug Typescript/Javascript Client, implementing the Version 3 Buttplug Spec. It is expected to run from a browser against either Intiface Central (GUI) or Initface Engine (CLI). No Rust FFI bindings are required.
For those of you that have been around a while, you may remember that this used to be the main Typescript/Javascript implementation. From 2017 to 2020, it was a reference version of the Buttplug Intimate Haptics Control Standard.
Then I rewrote everything in Rust because I like Rust more and it's far easier for me to port across platforms. This repo was archived ~2 years ago in preference to seating the C# client and server on top of the Rust implementation of Buttplug, as part of the Rust FFI Project.
That project ended up being a partial failure.
While the FFI system is handy for languages where it is very difficult to rebuild some parts of the library (C/C++/Java/etc...), for managed langauges like Javascript and C#, requiring both the client and server to use the FFI was overkill, and caused many extremely difficult-to-debug issues. With that in mind, the Typescript implementation in this repo is being turned into a Client only. The WASM server and Embedded Connector will stay in the FFI repo, but will be another NPM package that will be optional.
