Configurations

The section below outlines the different configuration values available and their corresponding default settings.

Config	Description	Default
VBoxConfigs.host	Host address to connect to the vBox	192.168.1.23
VBoxConfigs.port	Port used to connect to the vBox	11501
VBoxConfigs.username	Username used to connect to the vBox	null
VBoxConfigs.password	Password used to connect to the vBox	null
VBoxConfigs.version	Protocol version of vBox	ProtocolVersion.V2
SocketConfigs.log	Logger to print values	null
SocketConfigs.ignoreAckLogs	Ignore Acknowledgement and GenericUnusedResponse logs	false
SocketConfigs.requestBuffer	Buffer time between requests	250
SocketConfigs.requestTimeout	Max timeout for requests	1000
SocketConfigs.shouldReconnect	Automatically reconnect on lost connection	true
SocketConfigs.socketSupplier	Provide a prebuilt Net.Socket object	null

Environment Variables

If you prefer not to provide the configuration values directly, you can use environment variables instead.

All VBoxConfigs configuration values can be represented as environment variables by converting the config key to uppercase and prefixing it with VITREA_VBOX_. For instance, the key username would be represented as VITREA_VBOX_USERNAME and requestTimeout as VITREA_VBOX_REQUEST_TIMEOUT.

Usage

import {
    ProtocolVersion,
    Requests,
    VitreaClient
} from 'vitrea-client'


const client = VitreaClient.create({
    host:     '192.168.1.111',
    port:     1234,
    username: 'admin',
    password: 'secret',
    version:  ProtocolVersion.V1
})

await client.connect()

const count = await client.send(new Requests.RoomCount())

Logging

By default, all logs are sent to the NullLogger, which discards them. To log messages, you can use our ConsoleLogger (which wraps the native console object), set below:

import { ConsoleLogger, VitreaClient } from 'vitrea-client'

const client = VitreaClient.create(
    { /* ... */ },
    {
        log: new ConsoleLogger()
    }
)

If you already have a logger that implements the interface below, you can integrate it as follows:

import { getLogger }    from '@/core/logger'
import { VitreaClient } from 'vitrea-client'

const client = VitreaClient.create(
    { /* ... */ },
    {
        log: getLogger('vBox')
    }
)

interface LoggerContract<T = any, R = void> {
    log(message: string, level: string): R
    error(message: string, ...args: T[]): R
    warn(message: string, ...args: T[]): R
    info(message: string, ...args: T[]): R
    debug(message: string, ...args: T[]): R
}

Status Updates

Vitrea's vBox sends updates to the client whenever a key is pressed. You can supply a custom callback listener to manage these updates as they happen.

import { VitreaClient, Responses } from 'vitrea-client'

const client = VitreaClient.create(...)

const listener = (status: Responses.KeyStatus) => {
    console.log(status.nodeID)
    console.log(status.keyID)
    console.log(status.isOff)
    console.log(status.isOn)
}

client.onKeyStatus(listener)
