Init

$ npm i

Alternate variant via yarn:

$ yarn install

Build

$ npm run build

Usage

Import module:

// Import MPDClient.js module.
const mpdclient = require('mpdclient.js');

Create connection with MPD server:

// Create connection with MPD server.
const client = new mpdclient.MPDClient('localhost', 6600);

Prepare command (or command list) for execute:

// Create command.
const command = new mpdclient.MPDCommand('status');

// Or you can create chain of commands.
const commands = [
  new mpdclient.MPDCommand('play'),
  new mpdclient.MPDCommand('status')
];
// You can pass the mode for eval command list.
const commandList = new mpdclient.MPDCommandList(commands, mpdclient.MPDCommandList.COMMAND_LIST_OK_BEGIN);

Execute command or command list:

// As MPDClient.js provides Promise-based API it means
// that there are 2 callbacks for handle execution result:
client.execute(command).then(
  response => {
    // Handle parsed response object.
  },
  error => {
    // Handle error.
  }
);

Completed example

const mpdclient = require('mpdclient.js');
const client = new mpdclient.MPDClient('localhost', 6600);

const command = new mpdclient.MPDCommand('status');
client.execute(command)
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(error => console.log(error));
