### Installing and using the package

```sh
npm install @abandonware/noble
```

```javascript
const noble = require('@abandonware/noble');
```

## API docs

All operations have two API variants – one expecting a callback, one returning a Promise (denoted by `Async` suffix).

Additionally, there are events corresponding to each operation (and a few global events).

For example, in case of the "discover services" operation of Peripheral:

* There's a `discoverServices` method expecting a callback:
   ```javascript
   peripheral.discoverServices((error, services) => {
     // callback - handle error and services
   });
   ```
* There's a `discoverServicesAsync` method returning a Promise:
  ```javascript
  try {
    const services = await peripheral.discoverServicesAsync();
    // handle services
  } catch (e) {
    // handle error
  }
  ```
* There's a `servicesDiscover` event emitted after services are discovered:
  ```javascript
  peripheral.once('servicesDiscover', (services) => {
    // handle services
  });
  ```

### Scanning and discovery

#### _Event: Adapter state changed_

```javascript
noble.on('stateChange', callback(state));
```

`state` can be one of:
* `unknown`
* `resetting`
* `unsupported`
* `unauthorized`
* `poweredOff`
* `poweredOn`

#### Start scanning

```javascript
noble.startScanning(); // any service UUID, no duplicates


noble.startScanning([], true); // any service UUID, allow duplicates


var serviceUUIDs = ['<service UUID 1>', ...]; // default: [] => all
var allowDuplicates = falseOrTrue; // default: false

noble.startScanning(serviceUUIDs, allowDuplicates[, callback(error)]); // particular UUIDs
```

__NOTE:__ `noble.state` must be `poweredOn` before scanning is started. `noble.on('stateChange', callback(state));` can be used to listen for state change events.

#### _Event: Scanning started_

```javascript
noble.on('scanStart', callback);
```

The event is emitted when:
* Scanning is started
* Another application enables scanning
* Another application changes scanning settings

#### Stop scanning

```javascript
noble.stopScanning();
```

#### _Event: Scanning stopped_

```javascript
noble.on('scanStop', callback);
```

The event is emitted when:
* Scanning is stopped
* Another application stops scanning


#### _Event: Peripheral discovered_

```javascript
noble.on('discover', callback(peripheral));
```

* `peripheral`:
  ```javascript
  {
    id: '<id>',
    address: '<BT address'>, // Bluetooth Address of device, or 'unknown' if not known
    addressType: '<BT address type>', // Bluetooth Address type (public, random), or 'unknown' if not known
    connectable: trueOrFalseOrUndefined, // true or false, or undefined if not known
    advertisement: {
      localName: '<name>',
      txPowerLevel: someInteger,
      serviceUuids: ['<service UUID>', ...],
      serviceSolicitationUuid: ['<service solicitation UUID>', ...],
      manufacturerData: someBuffer, // a Buffer
      serviceData: [
          {
              uuid: '<service UUID>',
              data: someBuffer // a Buffer
          },
          // ...
      ]
    },
    rssi: integerValue,
    mtu: integerValue // MTU will be null, until device is connected and hci-socket is used
  };
  ```

__Note:__ On macOS, the address will be set to '' if the device has not been connected previously.


#### _Event: Warning raised_

```javascript
noble.on('warning', callback(message));
```

### Reset device

```javascript
noble.reset()
```

### Peripheral

#### Connect

```javascript
peripheral.connect([callback(error)]);
```

Some of the bluetooth devices doesn't connect seamlessly, may be because of bluetooth device firmware or kernel. Do reset the device with noble.reset() API before connect API.

#### _Event: Connected_

```javascript
peripheral.once('connect', callback);
```

#### Cancel a pending connection

```javascript
peripheral.cancelConnect();
// Will emit a 'connect' event with error
```

#### Disconnect

```javascript
peripheral.disconnect([callback(error)]);
```

#### _Event: Disconnected_

```javascript
peripheral.once('disconnect', callback);
```

#### Update RSSI

```javascript
peripheral.updateRssi([callback(error, rssi)]);
```

#### _Event: RSSI updated_

```javascript
peripheral.once('rssiUpdate', callback(rssi));
```

#### Discover services

```javascript
peripheral.discoverServices(); // any service UUID

var serviceUUIDs = ['<service UUID 1>', ...];
peripheral.discoverServices(serviceUUIDs[, callback(error, services)]); // particular UUIDs
```

#### Discover all services and characteristics

```javascript
peripheral.discoverAllServicesAndCharacteristics([callback(error, services, characteristics)]);
```

#### Discover some services and characteristics

```javascript
var serviceUUIDs = ['<service UUID 1>', ...];
var characteristicUUIDs = ['<characteristic UUID 1>', ...];
peripheral.discoverSomeServicesAndCharacteristics(serviceUUIDs, characteristicUUIDs, [callback(error, services, characteristics));
```

#### _Event: Services discovered_

```javascript
peripheral.once('servicesDiscover', callback(services));
```

#### Read handle

```javascript
peripheral.readHandle(handle, callback(error, data));
```

#### _Event: Handle read_

```javascript
peripheral.once('handleRead<handle>', callback(data)); // data is a Buffer
```

`<handle>` is the handle identifier.

#### Write handle

```javascript
peripheral.writeHandle(handle, data, withoutResponse, callback(error));
```

#### _Event: Handle written_

```javascript
peripheral.once('handleWrite<handle>', callback());
```

`<handle>` is the handle identifier.

### Service

#### Discover included services

```javascript
service.discoverIncludedServices(); // any service UUID

var serviceUUIDs = ['<service UUID 1>', ...];
service.discoverIncludedServices(serviceUUIDs[, callback(error, includedServiceUuids)]); // particular UUIDs
```

#### _Event: Included services discovered_

```javascript
service.once('includedServicesDiscover', callback(includedServiceUuids));
```

#### Discover characteristics

```javascript
service.discoverCharacteristics() // any characteristic UUID

var characteristicUUIDs = ['<characteristic UUID 1>', ...];
service.discoverCharacteristics(characteristicUUIDs[, callback(error, characteristics)]); // particular UUIDs
```

#### _Event: Characteristics discovered_

```javascript
service.once('characteristicsDiscover', callback(characteristics));
```

* `characteristics`
  ```javascript
  {
    uuid: '<uuid>',
    properties: ['...'] // 'broadcast', 'read', 'writeWithoutResponse', 'write', 'notify', 'indicate', 'authenticatedSignedWrites', 'extendedProperties'
  };
  ```

### Characteristic

#### Read

```javascript
characteristic.read([callback(error, data)]);
```

#### _Event: Data read_

```javascript
characteristic.on('data', callback(data, isNotification));

characteristic.once('read', callback(data, isNotification)); // legacy
```

Emitted when:
* Characteristic read has completed, result of `characteristic.read(...)`
* Characteristic value has been updated by peripheral via notification or indication, after having been enabled with `characteristic.notify(true[, callback(error)])`

**Note:** `isNotification` event parameter value MAY be `undefined` depending on platform. The parameter is **deprecated** after version 1.8.1, and not supported on macOS High Sierra and later.

#### Write

```javascript
characteristic.write(data, withoutResponse[, callback(error)]); // data is a Buffer, withoutResponse is true|false
```

* `withoutResponse`:
  * `false`: send a write request, used with "write" characteristic property
  * `true`: send a write command, used with "write without response" characteristic property

Triggers `data` events when peripheral sends a notification or indication. Use for characteristics with "notify" or "indicate" properties.

#### _Event: Notification received_

```javascript
characteristic.once('notify', callback(state));
```

Emitted when characteristic notification state changes, result of `characteristic.notify(...)`.

#### Unsubscribe

    {
      uuid: '<uuid>'
    },
    // ...
  ]
  ```

### Descriptor

#### Read value

```javascript
descriptor.readValue([callback(error, data)]);
```

#### _Event: Value read_

```javascript
descriptor.once('valueRead', data); // data is a Buffer
```

#### Write value

```javascript
descriptor.writeValue(data[, callback(error)]); // data is a Buffer
```

#### _Event: Value written_

```javascript
descriptor.once('valueWrite');

## Advanced usage

### Override default bindings

By default, noble will select appropriate Bluetooth device bindings based on your platform. You can provide custom bindings using the `with-bindings` module.

```javascript
var noble = require('@abandonware/noble/with-bindings')(require('./my-custom-bindings'));
```

### Running without root/sudo (Linux-specific)

Run the following command:

```sh
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which node`)
```

This grants the `node` binary `cap_net_raw` privileges, so it can start/stop BLE advertising.

__Note:__ The above command requires `setcap` to be installed.
It can be installed the following way:

 * apt: `sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin`
 * yum: `su -c \'yum install libcap2-bin\'`

### Multiple Adapters (Linux-specific)

`hci0` is used by default.

To override, set the `NOBLE_HCI_DEVICE_ID` environment variable to the interface number.

For example, to specify `hci1`:

```sh
sudo NOBLE_HCI_DEVICE_ID=1 node <your file>.js
```

If you are using multiple HCI devices in one setup you can run two instances of noble with different binding configurations by initializing them seperatly in code:

```
const HCIBindings = require('@abandonware/noble/lib/hci-socket/bindings');
const Noble = require('@abandonware/noble/lib/noble');

const params = {
  deviceId: 0,
  userChannel: true
};

const noble = new Noble(new HCIBindings(params));
```

### Reporting all HCI events (Linux-specific)

By default, noble waits for both the advertisement data and scan response data for each Bluetooth address. If your device does not use scan response, the `NOBLE_REPORT_ALL_HCI_EVENTS` environment variable can be used to bypass it.

```sh
sudo NOBLE_REPORT_ALL_HCI_EVENTS=1 node <your file>.js
```

### bleno compatibility (Linux-specific)

By default, noble will respond with an error whenever a GATT request message is received. If your intention is to use bleno in tandem with noble, the `NOBLE_MULTI_ROLE` environment variable can be used to bypass this behaviour.

__Note:__ this requires a Bluetooth 4.1 adapter.

```sh
sudo NOBLE_MULTI_ROLE=1 node <your file>.js
```

## Common problems

### Maximum simultaneous connections

This limit is imposed by the Bluetooth adapter hardware as well as its firmware.

| Platform                          |                       |
| :-------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)           | 6                     |
| Linux/Windows - Adapter-dependent | 5 (CSR based adapter) |

### Sandboxed terminal

On newer versions of OSX, the terminal app is sandboxed to not allow bluetooth connections by default. If you run a script that tries to access it, you will get an `Abort trap: 6` error.

To enable bluetooth, go to "System Preferences" —> "Security & Privacy" —> "Bluetooth" -> Add your terminal into allowed apps.

### Adapter-specific known issues

Some BLE adapters cannot connect to a peripheral while they are scanning (examples below). You will get the following messages when trying to connect:

Sena UD-100 (Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)): `Error: Command disallowed`

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 (Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73)): `Error: Connection Rejected due to Limited Resources (0xd)`

You need to stop scanning before trying to connect in order to solve this issue.
