Discover (LAN)

API Reference

Discover other PlainApp instances on the local network (LAN/Wi-Fi Aware). Discovery is the first step before pairing — once a device is discovered, call a pairing mutation in the Pairing section.

Type Definitions

bash

# Discovery uses UDP broadcast on the LAN and (optionally) Wi-Fi Aware.
# Discovered devices are not persisted; call isDiscovering to poll state.
# Use the NearbyViewModel events / WebSocket push channel to receive the
# live list of discovered devices.
