To communicate back and forth, you'll need to use the DeskThing modules that come installed.
deskthing-client is for the client-side connections deskthing-server is for the server-side connection
The basic scaffolding for the server is:
import { DeskThing } from 'deskthing-server' // imports from the connector package
export DeskThing // exports for the server to use
const dt = DeskThing.getInstance() // Enforces singleton pattern
const main = () => {
// Main code logic
}
dt.on('start', main) // Runs main on startupOnce things are more finalized, I will document things more thoroughly here. However, until then, you can go to the discord linked here and I can help you get started!
