Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

node-smpp

SMPP client and server implementation in node.js.

Build Status

Introduction

This is a complete implementation of SMPP v5.0 in node.js, with support for custom commands and TLVs.

SMPP v5.0, by design, is backward compatible with v3.4, so you would be able to use this module with 3.4 implementations. Even you can use this module with 3.3 implementations as far as you don't use TLV parameters and don't bind in transceiver mode.

The name of the methods and parameters in this implementation are equivalent to the names defined in SMPP specification. So get a copy of SMPP v5.0 Specification for a list of available operations and their parameters.

Installation

npm install smpp

Usage

Creating a SMPP session

var smpp = require('smpp');
var session = smpp.connect('example.com', 2775);
session.bind_transceiver({
	system_id: 'YOUR_SYSTEM_ID',
	password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
}, function(pdu) {
	if (pdu.command_status == 0) {
		// Successfully bound
		session.submit_sm({
			destination_addr: 'DESTINATION NUMBER',
			short_message: 'Hello!'
		}, function(pdu) {
			if (pdu.command_status == 0) {
				// Message successfully sent
				console.log(pdu.message_id);
			}
		});
	}
});

Creating a SMPP server

var smpp = require('smpp');
var server = smpp.createServer(function(session) {
	session.on('bind_transceiver', function(pdu) {
		// we pause the session to prevent further incoming pdu events,
		// untill we authorize the session with some async operation.
		session.pause();
		checkAsyncUserPass(pdu.system_id, pdu.password, function(err) {
			if (err) {
				session.send(pdu.response({
					command_status: smpp.ESME_RBINDFAIL
				}));
				session.close();
				return;
			}
			session.send(pdu.response());
			session.resume();
		});
	});
});
server.listen(2775);

Encodings

This smpp implementation supports 3 encodings: ASCII (GSM 03.38), LATIN1, and UCS2. Respective data_coding for these encodings are 0x01, 0x03, and 0x08.

Default encoding for data_coding:0 is ASCII. You can change it as follows:

smpp.encodings.default = 'LATIN1';

String messages will be automatically encoded using one of these three encodings. If the SMSC you are communicating with doesn't support one of these encodings, you can simply remove it as follows:

delete smpp.encodings.ASCII;

You can also manually convert a message to a buffer and pass it as short_message or message_payload parameter to bypass automatic message encoding.

API

smpp.connect([host], [port])

Creates a new smpp session to the given host and port. If port is omited, the default smpp port (2775) will be used. If host is also omitted, localhost will be assumed.

smpp.Session

This is the base object for a SMPP session. sessions can be created by calling smpp.connect() or can be created by a smpp server when a client establishes a connection to the server. In this case the server passes the session object to the 'session' event listener.

session.send(pdu, [responseCallback], [sendCallback])

Sends a pdu request/response to the MC/ESME over the session. The pdu is an instance of smpp.PDU which might be either a response or a request pdu.

When sending a request pdu, pdu.sequence_number will be automatically set to the proper value.

If the pdu is a request pdu, when the relevant response is received, the optional responseCallback parameter will be invoked with the response pdu passed to it.

Optional sendCallback will be called when the pdu is flushed.

session.close([callback])

Closes the current session connection. If supplied, the callback is called once the session is fully closed.

session.connect()

Can be used to reconnect a closed connection.

session.pause()

Can be used to postpone incoming pdu events untill calling session.resume().

session.resume()

Resumes the session after a call to pause().

Shortcut methods

For all smpp operations you can call methods with the same name as the operation name, which is equivalent to createing a pdu instance and then sending it over the session.

For example calling session.submit_sm(options, callback) is equivalent to:

var pdu = new smpp.PDU('submit_sm', options);
session.send(pdu, callback);

Event: 'connect'

Emitted when the session connection successfully is established.

Event: 'close'

Emitted when the connection is fully closed.

Event: 'error' (error)

Emitted when an error occurs. The 'close' event will be called directly following this event.

Event: 'send' (pdu)

Emitted when a pdu is being sent over the session with the pdu as the argument.

Event: 'pdu' (pdu)

Emitted upon receiving a pdu.

Event: 'unknown' (pdu)

Emitted upon receiving an unknown pdu.

Shortcut events

When a pdu is received, after emitting the 'pdu' event, an event with the same name as the operation of that pdu will also be emitted.

smpp.createServer([sessionListener])

Creates a new SMPP server. The sessionListener argument is automatically set as a listener for the 'session' event.

smpp.Server

The base object for a SMPP server created with smpp.createServer(). It is a child class of node's net.Server.

server.listen([port], [host], [callback])

Begin accepting connections on the specified port and host. If port is omitted 2775 will be used. If the host is omitted, the server will accept connections directed to any IPv4 address.

This function is asynchronous. The last parameter callback will be called when the server has been bound.

Event: 'session' (session)

Emitted when a new session connection is established. session is an instance of smpp.Session.

for other server methods/events documentations see node's net.Server docs.

smpp.PDU

This is the base object for a PDU request or response.

new smpp.PDU(command, [options])

Creates a new PDU object with the specified command and options.

options is a list of parameters acceptable by the specified command. The name of the parameters are equivalent to the names specified in SMPP specification v5.0. The order of the parameters doesn't matter. If you don't specify a required parameter in options a default value (usually null or 0 for integers) will be used.

For the type of the parameters note the following rules:

  • For Integer parameters (no matter what the length is) you must specify a value of type number in JavaScript.
  • For Octet-String and COctet-String parameters you can specify either a Buffer or a String.
  • For the fields that accept SMPP Time Format (broadcast_end_time, schedule_delivery_time, validity_period, final_date) you can specify a Javascript Date instance which will be automatically converted to a SMPP absolute time string. For relative times you don't need to specify the whole string, specifying a portion of it is enough. for example '0430' will be converted to '000000000430000R'.
  • For short_message and message_payload fields you can specify a buffer or a string or an object containing udh and message properties, while udh is a buffer and message is either a string or a buffer. strings will be automatically encoded using ASCII, LATIN1, or UCS2 depending on their characters. data_coding (if not specified) will be automatically set to 0x01, 0x03, or 0x08 for ASCII, LATIN1, and UCS2 encodings respectively. Also UDH indicator bit in esm_class is automatically set if udh exists.
  • sm_length parameter is not needed. It will be automatically set depending on the length of the short_message.
  • dest_address parameter in submit_multi operation must be an array of objects containing either dest_addr_ton, dest_addr_npi and, destination_addr properties or dl_name property for SME addresses or Distribution Lists respectively.
  • unsuccess_sme parameter in submit_multi_resp operation must be an array of objects containing dest_addr_ton, dest_addr_npi, destination_addr and, error_status_code properties.
  • number_of_dests and no_unsuccess parameters are not needed. They will be automatically set depending on the dest_address and unsuccess_sme parameters respectively.
  • TLV parameters which can be specified multiple times (e.g. broadcast_area_identifier), must be specified as an array, even if you want to specifiy just one item.

pdu.isResponse()

Returns true if the pdu is a response pdu, otherwise returns false;

pdu.response([options])

For a request pdu, calling response() creates and returns a response pdu for that request.

For an unknown pdu, response() creates and returns a generic_nack pdu.

session.on('submit_sm', function(pdu) {
	var msgid = .... ; // generate a message_id for this message.
	session.send(pdu.response({
		message_id: msgid
	}));
});

session.on('unbind', function(pdu) {
	session.send(pdu.response());
	session.close();
});

session.on('enquire_link', function(pdu) {
	session.send(pdu.response());
});

Roadmap

  • Support for secure sessions using TLS.
  • More test coverage.
