# API
The interface of the noVNC client consists of a single RFB object that
is instantiated once per connection.
## 1 Configuration Attributes
Each configuration option has a default value, which can be overridden
by a a configuration object passed to the constructor. Configuration
options can then be read and modified after initialization with "get_*"
and "set_*" methods respectively. For example, the following
initializes an RFB object with the 'view_only' configuration option
enabled, then confirms it was set, then disables it:
var rfb = new RFB(target, {'view_only': true});
if (rfb.get_view_only()) {
alert("View Only is set");
}
rfb.set_view_only(false);
Some attributes are read-only and cannot be changed. An exception will
be thrown if an attempt is made to set one of these attributs. The
attribute mode is one of the following:
RO - read only
RW - read write
WO - write once
| name | type | mode | default | description
| ----------------- | ----- | ---- | ---------- | ------------
| local_cursor | bool | RW | false | Request locally rendered cursor
| view_only | bool | RW | false | Disable client mouse/keyboard
| touchButton | int | RW | 1 | Button mask (1, 2, 4) for which click to send on touch devices. 0 means ignore clicks.
| scale | float | RW | 1.0 | Display area scale factor
| viewport | bool | RW | false | Use viewport clipping
| disconnectTimeout | int | RW | 3 | Time (in seconds) to wait for disconnection
| viewportDrag | bool | RW | false | Move the viewport on mouse drags
| capabilities | arr | RO | [] | Supported capabilities (can include: 'power', 'resize')
## 2 Methods
In addition to the getter and setter methods to modify configuration
attributes, the RFB object has other methods that are available in the
object instance.
| name | parameters | description
| ------------------ | ------------------------------- | ------------
| connect | (url, options) | Connect to the given URL
| disconnect | () | Disconnect
| sendCredentials | (credentials) | Send credentials after onCredentialsRequired callback
| sendCtrlAltDel | () | Send Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence
| machineShutdown | () | Request a shutdown of the remote machine.
| machineReboot | () | Request a reboot of the remote machine.
| machineReset | () | Request a reset of the remote machine.
| sendKey | (keysym, code, down) | Send a key press event. If down not specified, send a down and up event.
| clipboardPasteFrom | (text) | Send a clipboard paste event
| autoscale | (width, height, downscaleOnly) | Scale the display
| clippingDisplay | () | Check if the remote display is larger than the client display
| requestDesktopSize | (width, height) | Send a request to change the remote desktop size.
| viewportChangeSize | (width, height) | Change size of the viewport
__connect() details__
The connect() call supports the following options:
| name | type | default | description
| ----------------- | ----- | ---------- | ------------
| shared | bool | true | Request shared VNC mode
| credentials | obj | {} | Credentials to use when authenticating
| repeaterID | str | '' | UltraVNC RepeaterID to connect to
## 3 Callbacks
The RFB object has certain events that can be hooked with callback
functions.
| name | parameters | description
| --------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------
| onUpdateState | (rfb, state, oldstate) | Connection state change (see details below)
| onNotification | (rfb, msg, level, options) | Notification for the UI (optional options)
| onDisconnected | (rfb, reason) | Disconnection finished with an optional reason. No reason specified means normal disconnect.
| onCredentialsRequired | (rfb, types) | VNC credentials are required (use sendCredentials)
| onClipboard | (rfb, text) | RFB clipboard contents received
| onBell | (rfb) | RFB Bell message received
| onFBResize | (rfb, width, height) | Frame buffer (remote desktop) size changed
| onDesktopName | (rfb, name) | VNC desktop name recieved
| onCapabilities | (rfb, capabilities) | The supported capabilities has changed
__RFB onUpdateState callback details__
The RFB module has an 'onUpdateState' callback that is invoked after
the noVNC connection state changes. Here is a list of the states that
are reported. Note that the RFB module can not transition from the
disconnected state in any way, a new instance of the object has to be
created for new connections.
| connection state | description
| ---------------- | ------------
| connecting | starting to connect
| connected | connected normally
| disconnecting | starting to disconnect
| disconnected | disconnected - permanent end-state for this RFB object
__RFB onCredentialsRequired callback details__
The onCredentialsRequired callback is called when the server requests more
credentials than was specified to connect(). The types argument is a list
of all the credentials that are required. Currently the following are
defined:
| name | description
| -------- | ------------
| username | User that authenticates
| password | Password for user
| target | String specifying target machine or session
