API

onConnect

onMsg

SLS requests

An incoming websocket message (from a websocket client, i.e. browser), that begins with "SLS " (capital 'SLS' followed by a single space), will not be sent to onMsg lambdas. Instead, certain commands will be answered directly by the server.

• SLS PING <payload> The server will respond to the client with 'SLS PONG '. Useful to keep the connection alive and check latency. Also known as heartbeats.
