The following objects provide bundles of functions. An accessor that uses one or more of these modules must declare that requirement using the require tag or JavaScript function.
As these modules are very much under development, these interface definitions may change. For the most up-to-date interface specifications, see the auto-generated doc files for the current version of the Ptolemy II/Nashorn host implementation of these modules.
Reasonably Well-Developed Networking Modules
- eventbus: Provide publish and subscribe on a local network through a Vert.x event bus.
- httpClient: Provide support for HTTP clients.
- socket: TCP socket communication, including optional message framing.
- webSocket: Provide full-duplex web socket interfaces and functions for web socket servers.
Reasonably Well-Developed Image Processing Modules
- aprilTags: Recognize and locate AprilTags in images.
- cameras: Capture images and video from cameras on the host (built in or USB connected).
- computerVision : OpenCV image processing library, ported to Javascript by UC Irvine and Intel.
- imageFilters: Filter images to create new images.
- motionDetector: Detect and locate motion in streams of images.
Node Modules
Some modules designed for Node.js are pure JavaScript with no particular dependency on Node.
These can be required as well by an accessor. These include, at least,
