mdns_plugin 0.0.5

mDNS Service discovery plugin for iOS which generates events whenever service discovery is started or stopped, or whenever new services on the network are found, removed or updated.

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");
  }
}
