net-listen

Node listen helper for net module helping with socket listening.

• throw error when socket is used (server running)
• when socket file is not used (server not running), is automatically removed and server started.
• change socket mode to 0777 (chmod 0o777)

Installation

npm install net-listen --save
 
 

Usage

Getting started

var http = require('http');
var netListen = require('net-listen');

var server = http.createServer();
var path = 'path/to/socket.sock';

netListen.listen(server, path, function(err) {
	if (err) {
		console.error(err);
		process.exit();
	}
});

Alternative usage

netListen.listen(server, path, function(err) { ... });
netListen.listen(server, port, function(err) { ... });
netListen.listen(server, port, host, function(err) { ... });
netListen.listen(server, config, function(err) { ... });

• path - String Unix socket file. Directory must be writable.
• port - Number Listening TCP port
• host - String Listening TCP host
• config - Object Config is same as Net module listen options and can have some additional options:
  • pathMode - default 0o777
