RTI Connector 1.1.1 is built on RTI Connext DDS 6.1.0.3, which fixes several bugs in the Core Libraries. For details, contact support@rti.com.

RTI Connector for JavaScript

RTI® Connext® DDS is a connectivity software framework for integrating data
sources of all types. At its core is the world's leading ultra-high performance,
distributed networking databus.

RTI Connector provides a quick and easy way to write applications that
publish and subscribe to the RTI Connext DDS databus in JavaScript and other
languages.

Documentation

To get started and learn more about RTI Connector for JavaScript see the
documentation here.

Examples

The examples/nodejs directory provides several examples:

  • simple shows how to create basic publisher and subscriber applications
  • In transformation, an application reads, transforms and publishes back the data
  • web_http shows how an HTTP client can request DDS data using REST
  • web_socket shows how to push DDS data to a browser through socket.io

Dependencies

RTI Connector for JavaScript has the following dependencies, which are also listed in package.json:

  • ref-napi: turns Buffer instances into "pointers"
  • ref-struct-napi: create ABI-compilant "Struct" instances on top of Buffers
  • ffi-napi: used for loading and calling dynamic libraries using pure JavaScript
  • events: used for the 'EventEmitter' (legacy implementation of RTI Connector)

Additionally to run the web_socket example, socket.io and OpenLayers are required.

Additional dependencies are required to run the unit tests and some of the examples. Please see the README files in the appropriate directory.

Python dependency

Some of the dependencies are shipped as source code and use node-gyp to be compiled locally. node-gyp requires Python 2.7 and does not work with Python 3. The requirements for node-gyp can be found at:

C/C++ compiler dependency

The dependency ref is shipped as source code and requires a C++11 compiler.
