messenger-ws

This is a simple messaging implementation for sending and receiving data via websockets.

Follows the messenger-archetype

bufferutil and utf-8-validate

With the release of [email protected], both bufferutil and utf-8-validate are no longer included as dependencies. This is primilarly due to the fact that these are both binary addons, and cause issues when a C++ compiler is not installed or not found, or when a C++11 compliant compiler is not installed (for >= Node 4.0.0 to be compliant, use >= gcc 4.8 or >= clang 3.5).

These optional dependencies extend through to messenger-ws. The tests are run using bufferutil and utf-8-validate, however, these are optional dependencies and will not be installed with messenger-ws by default. However, it is highly recommended that you do install these dependencies, as they provide significant benefits.

Example Usage

var pull = require('pull-stream');
var queue = require('pull-pushable')();
var messenger = require('messenger-ws')('ws://localhost:3000/echo');

messenger(function(err, source, sink) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err);
  }

  // log data coming from the socket
  pull(source, pull.log());

  // wire the queue to sink
  pull(queue, sink);
});

setInterval(function() {
  queue.push('current time: ' + Date.now());
}, 150);
