NetworkingBehavior is the component of Matter.js that handles online connectivity for a Matter node.

NetworkingBehavior does not have an associated Matter cluster. It is exclusive to Matter.js.

Constructors

Properties

events: EventEmitter

Access the behavior's events.

internal: Internal
state: State

Access the behavior's state.

dependencies?: Iterable<Type, any, any>

Explicitly reference other Behaviors as dependencies, ensuring this behavior is destroyed first.

This probably won't be commonly necessary. If it is we can instrument Agent to collect dependencies automatically.

early = true

By default behaviors load lazily as they are accessed. You can set this flag to true to force behaviors to load immediately when the endpoint initializes.

Events: typeof EventEmitter = EventEmitter

Implementation of the events property. Subclasses may override to extend.

id = "network"

Each behavior implementation has an ID that uniquely identifies the type of behavior. An Endpoint may only have one behavior with the specified ID.

Endpoint instances store each behavior in a property with the same name as the behavior's ID.

EndpointBuilder also uses the ID when replacing behaviors using the with() builder method.

schema?: Schema

A behavior's schema controls access to data, commands and events.

Schema is inferred from the methods and properties of the behavior but you can specify explicitly for additional control.

Accessors

Methods

  • Execute logic with elevated privileges.

    The provided function executes with privileges escalated to offline mode. This is not commonly necessary.

    Elevated logic effectively ignores ACLs so should be used with care.

    Note that interactions with the behavior will remain elevated until the synchronous completion of this call. You should only elevate privileges for synchronous logic.

    Parameters

    • fn: (() => void)

      the elevated logic

        • (): void
        • Returns void

    Returns void

  • Create a generic callback function that has the same properties as a Reactor.

    Like a reactor, the callback's "this" will be bound to an active Behavior instance. Because of this: The reactor MUST be a real JS function - arrow functions will not work!

    Type Parameters

    • A extends any[]
    • R

    Parameters

    Returns ((...args: A) => undefined | R)

      • (...args): undefined | R
      • Parameters

        • Rest...args: A

        Returns undefined | R

  • Behaviors are ephemeral and should not perform initialization in their constructor. They can override this method instead.

    This method may be synchronous or asyncronous. If asynchronous, the behavior will not be available for external use until initialization completes.

    Parameters

    • Optional_options: {}

      Returns MaybePromise
