mdns_plugin 0.0.10

mDNS Service discovery plugin for iOS which generates events based on discovery of services on the local network.

mdns_plugin

Yet another package which discovers network services on the local network. Presently, this package is in development, and should work for iOS targets. Android targets are forthcoming.

Please file any issues or feature requests on github, thanks.

Example

Here's a basic example which implements a delegate, that can respond to mDNS services being discovered and updated:

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:mdns_plugin/mdns_plugin.dart';

void main() {
    MDNSPlugin mdns = new MDNSPlugin(Delegate());
    startDiscovery();
    sleep();
    stopDiscovery();
    sleep();
}

void startDiscovery() {      
    _mdns.startDiscovery("_googlecast._tcp").then((_) {
        print("Discovery started");
    });
}

void stopDiscovery() {      
    _mdns.stopDiscovery().then((_) {
        print("Discovery stopped");
    });
}

Future sleep() {
  return new Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 5), () => "5");
}

class Delegate implements MDNSPluginDelegate {
  void onDiscoveryStarted() {
      print("Discovery started");
  }
  void onDiscoveryStopped() {
      print("Discovery stopped");
  }
  void onServiceFound(MDNSService service) {
      print("Found: $service");
  }
  void onServiceResolved(MDNSService service) {
      print("Resolved: $service");
  }
  void onServiceUpdated(MDNSService service) {
      print("Updated: $service");
  }
  void onServiceRemoved(MDNSService service) {
      print("Removed: $service");
  }
}

Publishing this plugin

(Some notes for me) In order to publish the plugin, edit the pubspec.yaml and CHANGELOG.md files in the root directory and the example directory to bump the version number $TAG and then run the following commands:

bash% flutter format .
bash% git commit -a -m "Updated version to $TAG"
bash% git push && git tag $TAG && git push --tags
bash% flutter pub pub publish

You should then merge v1 into the master branch
