Bitfinex Modular WSv2 API Library for Node.JS
Modular Bitfinex Node.JS API library as an alternative to bitfinex-api-node
, supporting a plugin system. Connection instances are POJOs as opposed to the
WSv2 class instances returned by bitfinex-api-node
and are manipulated in a
functional style. A connection pool manager is also provided for multiplexing.
Features
- POJO connection instances
- Multiplexing connection pool manager
- Plugin system for extending the default events
Installation
npm i --save bfx-api-node-core
Quickstart
const { Manager, initState } = require('bfx-api-node-core')
// Create a Manager instance with an internal connection pool, and add a
// connection to the pool
const m = new Manager({ transform: true })
const managedConnection = m.openWS()
// Alternatively, create & open a single connection yourself
const connection = initState({ transform: true })
// do something with connections, see below for examples
Docs
See docs/manager_docs.md
for the Manager class documentation, and docs/ws2_funcs.md
for documentation on the functions available for manipulating a connection instance.
Examples
Subscribing to a candle channel:
const debug = require('debug')('bfx:api:core:examples:candles')
const { subscribe, Manager } = require('../')
const CANDLE_KEY = 'trade:1m:tBTCUSD'
debug('opening connection...')
const m = new Manager({ transform: true })
const wsState = m.openWS()
m.on('ws2:open', () => debug('connection opened'))
m.on('ws2:close', () => debug('connection closed'))
m.on('ws2:candles', (candles, meta) => {
const { chanFilter } = meta
const { key } = chanFilter
const [candle] = candles
const nCandles = candles.length
debug('recv %d candles on key', nCandles, key)
debug(
'latest candle: open %d, high %d, low %d, close %d, volume: %d, mts: %s',
candle.open, candle.high, candle.low, candle.close, candle.volume,
new Date(candle.mts).toLocaleString()
)
})
debug('subscribing to candles channel %s', CANDLE_KEY)
subscribe(wsState, 'candles', { key: CANDLE_KEY })
Using a plugin:
const debug = require('debug')('bfx:api:core:examples:candles')
const Watchdog = require('bfx-api-node-plugin-wd')
const { Manager } = require('../')
const WATCHDOG_DELAY = 5 * 1000
debug('opening connection...')
const m = new Manager({
transform: true,
plugins: [Watchdog({ pachetWDDelay: WATCHDOG_DELAY })]
})
m.on('ws2:open', () => debug('connection opened'))
m.on('ws2:reopen', () => debug('connection re-opened'))
m.on('ws2:close', () => debug('connection closed'))
m.openWS()
debug('awaiting watchdog trigger [no subscriptions]')
