Adding the Plugin to your project

In your application project directory:

cordova plugins add https://github.com/Sevenstax-bme/ZeroConfScanner

Using the plugin

There are six static methods on the ZeroConf object, as follows:

watch(type, callback)

Note that type is a fully-qualified service type, including the domain, e.g. "_http._tcp.local."

callback is a function that is called when services are added and removed. The function is passed an object with the following structure:

{
	"service": {
		"port": 50930,
		"protocol": "tcp",
		"application": "http",
		"urls": ["http://192.168.2.2:50930", "http://fe80::7256:81ff:fe00:99e3:50930"],
		"description": "\\00",
		"name": "Black iPod",
		"domain": "local",
		"server": "",
		"addresses": ["192.168.2.2", "fe80::7256:81ff:fe00:99e3"],
		"type": "_http._tcp.local.",
		"qualifiedname": "Black iPod._http._tcp.local."
	},
	"action": "added"
}

For more information on the fields, see the JmDNS docs. If you edit ZeroConf.java, you can easily add more fields if you need them.

unwatch(type)

close()

list(type, timeout, success, error)
