⚠️ CJDNS is a good technology but most of the people around it are a bunch of intolerant and hostile Commie scum. If you want to take over this module and deal with those people please make and issue and we'll work it out. Thank you

cjdns-admin

---

A nodejs module for working with the CJDNS admin interface over UDP. It's made to be consistent, robust and easy to use.

Jump:

• Create Admin Object
• CJDNS Admin Functions
• Paged Functions
• Development

Install

---

It's available via npm

npm install cjdns-admin

createAdmin constructor

---

The createAdmin function returns an EventEmitter4 with members for each admin function and their alternate. It also contains members which handle automatic paging for functions which are paged.

Options:

• ip, string, optional
• port, number, optional
• password, string, required

Usage:

var cjdnsAdmin = require('cjdns-admin'),
    admin,
    channel;

// create a new Admin
admin = cjdnsAdmin.createAdmin({
    ip: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 11234,
    password: 'my cjdns password'
});

// ping the admin
channel = admin.ping();

// create a response handler
function pingResponse (res) {
    // process ping response
    console.dir(res);
}

// handle the response
admin.on(channel, pingResponse);

Paged Functions

The paged functions will fetch all pages and return the result. Passing options is optional. The callback receives err and results as arguments and both are Array types.

function pagedCallback(err, results) {
    if (err) {
        return console.log('paged callback error', err);
    }
    console.log('paged function results array', );
}
admin.availableFunctionsPaged(pagedCallback);
admin.interfaceController.peerStatsPaged(pagedCallback);
admin.nodeStore.dumpTablePaged(pagedCallback);
admin.sessionManager.getHandlesPaged(pagedCallback);

// mill property is optional
admin.janitor.dumpRumorMillPaged({ mill: '' }, pagedCallback);

---

Development

Create environment variables that the tests will look for:

# cjdns development environment
export CJDNS_ADMIN_PORT=11234
export CJDNS_ADMIN_IP=127.0.0.1
export CJDNS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=from your cjdroute config

Tools are available via npm scripts. See package.json in the scripts section.

npm run lint

# test offline functionality
npm test
npm test -- --watch

# test online, UDP, and potentially dangerous functions
# on an actual node
npm run test-live
npm run test-live -- --watch

# render docs to html for testing
