This is a demo for A tutorial on using PeerJs in node-webkit app. It shows how to integrate PeerJs into your node-webkit/NW.js app, thus making your app able to do P2P communication.

It can be run on a single machine or two machines, your computer(s) needs to be connected to Internet.

1. Download node-webkit from here

2. Install node.js

3. Download this demo or git clone https://github.com/laike9m/peerjs-with-nodewebkit-tutorial.git

4. Enter app directory, run npm install to install all dependencies

5. Run the app. Node-webkit has great documentation on this.

6. You'll see this window
   

7. Click receive button first, then click send button.

If all goes well, you'll find a newly created file called received_gitignore in app's directory. This file is exactly the same as .gitignore, You just transferred it to yourself!

Step 1-6 is are the same, you should do them on both machines.

On one machine, click receive button, on the other machine, click send button. .gitignore will be transferred and saved as received_gitignore on receiving side.
