pod "BonjourDevAPIFinder"

Usage

Enabling Tweaks

BonjourDevAPIFinder uses Tweaks.

You need to make sure Tweaks have a way to be opened (see Tweaks docs).

Adding APIs

Anywhere in your project, before using an api address execute:

[BonjourDevAPIFinder.sharedInstance addApiService:@"API server"
                                       identifier:@"example"];

identifier is the Bonjour advertised name for your service.

To retrieve currently chosen API address use:

[BonjourDevAPIFinder.sharedInstance apiAddressForIdentifier:@"example"
                                          defaultAPIAddress:@"api.example.com"];

That's it!

Tip: you can add more than just one address.

Enabling the server to advertise it's existence

Node.js®

var mdns = require("mdns");
var ad = mdns.createAdvertisement(mdns.tcp(advertisedName), port);
ad.start();
