Node.js bindings for libtoxcore, built off of node-ffi.
Note: Installing this package does not install libtoxcore. It is expected that libtoxcore is installed prior to using js-toxcore-c.
If you see compiler errors while trying to npm install js-toxcore-c, you may need to install node-ffi manually using npm:
$ npm install https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi
- toxcore (missing conferences)
- toxav
- toxencryptsave
- Higher level API
var toxcore = require('js-toxcore-c');
// Create a default Tox instance
var tox = new toxcore.Tox();
// ... or, create a Tox instance using specific paths for toxcore libraries
var toxAtPath = new toxcore.Tox({
path: '/path/to/libtoxcore.so',
crypto: '/path/to/libtoxencryptsave.so'
});
// ... or, give Tox some data to load
var toxWithData = new toxcore.Tox({
data: '/path/to/toxfile'
});
// ... if that data is encrypted, include a passphrase
var toxWithEncData = new toxcore.Tox({
data: '/path/to/encrypted/toxfile',
pass: 'myPassphrase'
});
// Bootstrap from nodes (see a list at: https://wiki.tox.chat/users/nodes)

// Set your name and status message
tox.setNameSync('My username');
tox.setStatusMessageSync('Hello world!');
// Listen for friend requests
tox.on('friendRequest', function(e) {
console.log('Friend request from: ' + e.publicKeyHex());
});
// Print received friend messages to console
tox.on('friendMessage', function(e) {
var friendName = tox.getFriendNameSync(e.friend());
console.log(friendName + ': ' + e.message());
});
// Print out your tox address so others can add it
console.log('Address: ' + tox.getAddressHexSync());
// Start!
tox.start();
