Reference error: window is not defined

[grrrwaaa]

I created a new Node.js project and inserted the example code as per README:

import {BridgeClient} from '@lookingglass/bridge'

const Bridge = BridgeClient.getInstance()

async function run() {
    await Bridge.connect()
    console.log("ok")
}
run()

Result:

Node.js v20.18.0

Is this module only designed to work in a browser context?

I have another Node.js project that generates OpenGL scenes directly and want to view them on the Looking Glass. I am able to create a fullscreen undecorated window in my Node.js script and I can see this on the Looking Glass. I assumed that I needed to use Bridge to get the appropriate calibration data for the shaders to create the quilt. Is this possible via the '@lookingglass/bridge' node module?

Can you try this PR here? #21

Definitely curious to learn more about your project that runs OpenGL directly, we've got a lower level bridge api using shared textures that might be exciting to try there!

[grrrwaaa]

Will definitely try when I get back to the lab next week, tha k you!

And yes, if there's a shared texture workflow possible that would probably be even better! Is that documented somewhere yet?

Thanks!

@grrrwaaa The Bridge SDK documentation is available here: https://docs.lookingglassfactory.com/core/looking-glass-bridge-sdk

let me know if you get a chance to try the PR or if you hit any other issues with the SDK itself.
