another-ws-server

Simple websocket server with multi-client and multi-scope support. Built up on websocket package.

How multi-client support works?

Server receives message from client and broadcasts it to all connected clients (besides the one who sends the message).

How multi-scope works?

You need only a single websocket server and you can connect multiple projects (scopes) and send messages for clients within scope. This means, messages from one project won't be send to another.

How to use server

const Server = require('@jkob/another-ws-server/server');
const server = new Server({
	allowedOrigins: [], // allow all if empty or missing
	protocol: 'echo-protocol',
	port: 8080
});
await server.start();
...
server.stop();

How to use client

const Client = require('@jkob/another-ws-server/client');
const client = new Client({
	host: 'ws://...',
	protocol: 'echo-protocol',
	pid: 'project-id'
});
await client.connect();

client.send('chat:message', 'Your Message');

client.on('chat:message', (message) => {
	console.log('Message', message);
});

client.close();

How to use web client

const WebClient = require('@jkob/another-ws-server/webClient');
const webClient = new WebClient({
	host: 'ws://...',
	protocol: 'echo-protocol',
	pid: 'project-id'
});

await webClient.connect();

webClient.send('chat:message', 'Your message from browser');

webClient.on('chat:message', (message) => {
	console.log('Message', message);
});

webClient.close();
