neko/README.md

# neko-client
Connect to [demodesk/neko](https://github.com/demodesk/neko) backend with self contained vue component. 

For **community edition** neko with GUI and _plug & play_ deployment visit [m1k1o/neko](https://github.com/m1k1o/neko).

## Installation
Code is published to public NPM registry and GitHub npm repository.

```bash
# npm command
npm i @demodesk/neko
# yarn command
yarn add @demodesk/neko
```

### Build

You can set keyboard provider at build time, either `novnc` or the default `guacamole`.

```bash
# by default uses guacamole keyboard
npm run build
# uses novnc keyboard
KEYBOARD=novnc npm run build
```

## Recommended IDE Setup

[VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Volar](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar) (and disable Vetur).

## Type Support for `.vue` Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for `.vue` imports by default, so we replace the `tsc` CLI with `vue-tsc` for type checking. In editors, we need [Volar](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of `.vue` types.

## Customize configuration

See [Vite Configuration Reference](https://vitejs.dev/config/).

## Project Setup

```sh
npm install
```

### Compile and Hot-Reload for Development

```sh
npm run dev
```

### Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production

```sh

```

### Run Unit Tests with [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/)

```sh
npm run test:unit
```

### Run End-to-End Tests with [Playwright](https://playwright.dev)

```sh
# Install browsers for the first run
npx playwright install

# When testing on CI, must build the project first
npm run build

# Runs the end-to-end tests

npm run test:e2e -- --debug
```

### Lint with [ESLint](https://eslint.org/)

### Example
API consists of accessing Vue reactive state, calling various methods and subscribing to events. Simple usage:

```html
<!-- import vue -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>

<!-- import neko -->
<script src="./neko.umd.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./neko.css">

<div id="app">
  <neko ref="neko" server="http://127.0.0.1:3000/api" autologin autoplay />
</div>

<script>
new Vue({
  components: { neko },
  mounted() {
    // access state
    // this.$refs.neko.state.session_id
  
    // call methods
    // this.$refs.neko.setUrl('http://127.0.0.1:3000/api')
    // this.$refs.neko.login('username', 'password')
    // this.$refs.neko.logout()
  
    // subscribe to events
    // this.$refs.neko.events.on('room.control.host', (id) => { })
  },
}).$mount('#app')
</script>
```
