Package Exports

websocket-framed

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (websocket-framed) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

WebSocket-Framed

Framed WebSocket Communication for Node.js and Browser.

About

This is a small JavaScript librar< for Node.js and the Browser to encode/decode WebSocket messages to/from frames, based on the object serialization formats JavaScript Object Notation (JSON, RFC4627), Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR, RFC7049) or MsgPack. It solves three particular problems: the serialization of the data, the type annotation of data and the request/response correlation.

Installation

$ npm install websocket-framed

Usage

const WebSocketFramed = require("websocket-framed")

let ws  = new WebSocket(...)
let wsf = new WebSocketFramed(ws, "cbor")

wsf.on("message", (request) => {
    let { fid, rid, type, message }) = request
    let response = { type: ..., message: ... }
    wsf.send(response, request)
})

let request = { type: ..., data: ... }
wsf.send(request)

Application Programming Interface

new WebSocketFramed(ws: WebSocket, codec: string = "json"): API Create a new WebSocket-Framed instance for a particular communication with the help of the frame serialization cocdec. The supported codecs are json, cbor and msgpack.
API::on(name: string, callback: (frame: { fid: number, rid: number, type: string, data: string }) => Void): Void Receive a message in case name is message in the form of a decoded frame.
API::send(frame: { type: string, data: string }, replyTo?: frame): Void Send a message in the form of a encoded frame. Optionally set the rid of the message to the fid of the frame you want to replyt to.
