ibeacon emitting for Node.

NOTE: only macOS is supported at the moment.

Overview

This package allows the user to emit an ibeacon with their device, proven it has support for it.

API

The API has been with simplicity in mind. Checkout an example here.

beaconEmitter.start(uuid, [major, [minor, [measuredPower]]])

Starts emitting an ibeacon with the given proximity UUID, major, minor at the given measured power.

This function may be called multiple times and the last one will prevail, previous advertisementts will be cancelled.

The started event will be emitted when the advertising starts. The stopped and error events may also occur. If Bluetooth is stopped while advertising, the stopped event will be emitted, but adverttising will be automatically resumed when Bluetooth is started.

beaconEmitter.stop()

Stops advertising ibeacons. No further events will be emitted.
