Barco EventMaster REST API

Node.js wrapper module for Barco EventMaster REST API.

IMPORTANT! NOT ALL CALLS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TESTED YET. USE AT OWN RISK. Everything should be pretty straight forward and working, though. Jinx.

Installation and usage example

Installation

npm install barco-eventmaster

Example

var EventMaster = require('barco-eventmaster');

// Change this ip to your own E2/S3 IP
var em = new EventMaster('10.0.0.1');

// Get all preset names
em.listPresets(-1, -1, function(err, presets) {
	if (err !== null) {
		console.log("Current presets");
		console.log(presets);
	}
	else {
		console.log(err);
		throw "Something went wrong with the event master request";
	}
});

return self;

Available API calls

Some of the calls have slightly modified variable names going into the function than the ones specified in the documentation to help out the editors with autocompletion/hints. Some of the API calls will also need further looking into documentation on formatting, due to their complexity, it would gain noone to implement this into this module.
