Can I use this with Node?

[bpetty-interlace]

I am working on a Node based BBS I am putting together.
I would like to use ZModem to transfer files, but could not get passed the documentation challenges.
Can I use this library to automatically initiate a file transfer to my SyncTerm client?
I assume I would need to pass it my net socket object. Any advice @FGasper ?

Have a look at the unit tests in the repo for node.js usage examples.

Thank you for the quick reply @FGasper. I looked over the tests, but still seem to be lost.
I was asking specifically about how one would use this with node's Net TCP Server socket.

For example, importing 'net' and creating a 'Net.Server()' object.
Then waiting for the connection: server.on('connection', function(socket) { ...

I was expecting to somehow pass zmodemjs this socket object and simply call something like: zmod.send(socket, buffer);
Where buffer is a Buffer object I populated doing a fs read.

Looking at the api design, there is obviously a lot more going on than the simple .send(...) interface I just described. Would I be correct in assuming that I would need to write a wrapper for zmodemjs to get it working with a socket?

@bpetty-interlace Hey sorry, I lost track of this thread.

Did you ever sort this out?

No, I never did. Any help would be appreciated if you think it can work with a node socket.
Thanks @FGasper

@brandonmpetty zmodem.js doesn’t really care about the underlying transport.

It should work just to have your Sentry object’s sender write to your socket, send all reads from your socket through the Sentry’s .consume(), and have the Sentry’s to_terminal callback send to your BBS logic.
