NodeJS Equivalent #6

Hello, this is a great library!

But can you use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/isomorphic-ws for allowing this to work on node?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks!

This library is built specifically over WebRTC, so its not really using WebSockets for communication between peers. There is also extra infrastructure required to run things (primarily a signalling infrastructure or hub as mentioned in the readme) so something like isomorphic-ws is unlikely to map over 1-1.

To run smoke in nodejs, id probably look towards something like - https://github.com/node-webrtc/node-webrtc, however smoke is mainly aimed at running web servers inside of web browsers, so some work would be required to port things over to work within a nodejs context.

Hope that helps. S
