Installation
npm i wse -s
Usage
// server
import { WseServer } from 'wse'
// auth handler
function identify ({ payload, accept, meta }) {
if (payload === SECRET) {
const cid = 'any user id here'
accept(cid, { hey: 'welcome back!' })
} else {
reject()
}
}
const server = new WseServer({ port: 4200, identify })
server.broadcast('broad-message', { paylog: 'hey there!' })
server.channel.on('test-message', (conn, dat) => {
console.log('we got test-message from', conn.cid, dat)
conn.send('welcome-here', { payload: 42 })
})
// client
import { WseClient } from 'wse'
const client = new WseClient({ url: 'ws://lcoalhost:4200' })
await client.connect(SECRET)
client.when.ready(() => {
client.send('test-message', { a: 1, b: 2 })
})
client.channel.on('welcome-here', (dat) => {
console.log('got it', dat)
})

Opt-in for performance
There are 2 optional modules that can be installed along side with the ws
module. These modules are binary addons which
improve certain operations.
npm install --save-optional bufferutil
: Allows to efficiently perform operations such as masking and unmasking the data
payload of the WebSocket frames.
npm install --save-optional utf-8-validate
: Allows to efficiently check if a message contains valid UTF-8.

Todo:
server.useChallenge(()=>{})
- combine all arguments into an object.client.connect()
- let pass challenger.- add auto-reconnect (and it's prevention as well).
