Interact with the IPC/Socket via NodeJS #16

Closed DavidIlie closed 2 years ago

Very nice project!!

I have a somewhat unusual request... I would like to build my own desktop app using Electron and Websockets, and I want the server to be able to communicate with the daemon directly and see changes and send changes. Is that possible, and if so, where would I need to start? The preferred language would be Node.JS as I have experience building WebSockets unless there is an easy way to build a WebSocket server in rust (i have zero experience in rust haha).

Thanks!

The IPC is rust serialised structures and objects, and will likely stay that way for a while. From a priority perspective replacing it with something else would be very time consuming while we have other tasks to work on.

Good to know, thanks for the information!

Just to update (in case you're still watching), we've moved our UI efforts to an embedded HTTP service, with the UI being built at https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-ui if you're still interested in contributing :)
