Spacecode JS API

This API allows JavaScript developers to operate Spacecode Remote Devices through their web applications. Reading the section about the backward-compatibility is highly recommended for users of old browsers.

The latest release is available on the general Spacecode SDK Documentation.

Usage

We wanted the Spacecode JS API to be a cutting-edge JavaScript experiment. Thus, it offers the choice to be implemented either as a global object, or as an AMD module.

In the global namespace

In the HTML file:

<script src="spacecode.js"></script>

Once the script is loaded, a global object Spacecode is created in the root namespace.

Using it with JavaScript:

var device = new Spacecode.Device("192.168.1.20");

 device.on('connected', function()
 {
     console.log('connected');
     device.release();
 });

device.on('disconnected', function()
{
    console.log('disconnected');
});

device.connect();

As an AMD module

With an AMD loader like requirejs:

In the HTML file:

<script data-main="app" src="require.js"></script>

In the app.js file:

// Load the module 'spacecode' (spacecode.js)
define(['spacecode'], function(Spacecode)
{
    var device = new Spacecode.Device("192.168.1.20");

     device.on('connected', function()
     {
         console.log('connected');
         device.release();
     });

    device.on('disconnected', function()
    {
        console.log('disconnected');
    });

    device.connect();
});

Assuming require.js, app.js and spacecode.js in the same repository
