Description:

dart rfb

dart-rfb #
Implementation of The Remote Framebuffer Protocol (RFC 6143, aka VNC protocol).

Motivation #
We were searching a VNC viewer package for Flutter - without success.
Then there was a discussion about how complex the protocol is and wether we should implement it ourself.
Estimations ranged from 5 days to 100 days and we began joking that I'd be able to do it "after the weekend".
And here we are, after a weekend, with the first, minimal, protocol implementation.

Usage #
final RemoteFrameBufferClient client = RemoteFrameBufferClient()
await client.connect(
hostname: '127.0.0.1',
password: 'password',
);
client.updateStream.listen(
(final RemoteFrameBufferClientUpdate update) {
// Update your framebuffer
},
);
// To let the package handle incoming messages
client.handleIncomingMessages();
// Or handle yourself
StreamSubscription<RemoteFrameBufferClientReadMessage> subscription =
client.incomingMessages.listen(
(final RemoteFrameBufferClientReadMessage message) {
// Do something
},
);
// Request an initial framebuffer update
client.requestUpdate();
