Adding a Browser View Controller

[looonyyoyo000]

Could you please add a browser view controller so that I can create a subview for connection monitoring.

Hey @looonyyoyo000

Thanks for trying out MultiPeer! One of the biggest benefits/uses for MultiPeer is to be able to automatically (programmatically) connect with all nearby peers/nodes. However, I can definitely add a browser view controller for manual management of connections, and will do so for the upcoming major 1.0.0 release.

In the meantime: when you say:

so that I can create a subview for connection monitoring

are you referring to a screen to see which available connections are nearby (and/or) connected? If so, you can currently use the multiPeer(connectedDevicesChanged devices: [String]) interface to access all currently connected devices. See the docs for more info about this.

I hope to have a browser viewcontroller/manual connections added soon. However, feel free to work on this if you're interested/want to. PRs and contributions are welcome. :)

@PROcavemaN
This type of functionality to differentiate users is not built into MultiPeer directly, however this would be easy to add by using sending some sort of unique identifier along with the message.

Ex: Sending { "peer1" : "<peer1's message>"} instead of just <peer1's message> allows devices to see the sender of the message, and then process the message accordingly (placing the message in textfield1 as opposed to textfield2).

I hope that explanation makes sense! If you have any further questions, please feel free to create a new issue for the project, and we can discuss this further. Lets avoid having unrelated conversations in this issue. Thanks!

@dingwilson Is there meanwhile a Browser View Controller where the user can connect to peers manually and connect automatically to all devices nearby?

Hey @famapohl

MultiPeer does not currently support this, but we welcome contributions! :)
