See http://einaros.github.com/ws for the full reports. + +Comes with a command line utility, `wscat`, which can either act as a server (--listen), or client (--connect); Use it to debug simple websocket services. + +## Protocol support ## + +* **Hixie draft 76** (Old and deprecated, but still in use by Safari and Opera. Added to ws version 0.4.2, but server only. Can be disabled by setting the `disableHixie` option to true.) +* **HyBi drafts 07-12** (Use the option `protocolVersion: 8`, or argument `-p 8` for wscat) +* **HyBi drafts 13-17** (Current default, alternatively option `protocolVersion: 13`, or argument `-p 13` for wscat) + +_See the echo.websocket.org example below for how to use the `protocolVersion` option._ + +## Usage ## + +### Installing ### + +`npm install ws` + +### Sending and receiving text data ### + +```js +var WebSocket = require('ws'); +var ws = new WebSocket('ws://www.host.com/path'); +ws.on('open', function() { + ws.send('something'); +}); +ws.on('message', function(data, flags) { + // flags.binary will be set if a binary data is received + // flags.masked will be set if the data was masked +}); +``` + +### Sending binary data ### + +```js +var WebSocket = require('ws'); +var ws = new WebSocket('ws://www.host.com/path'); +ws.on('open', function() { + var array = new Float32Array(5); + for (var i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) array[i] = i / 2; + ws.send(array, {binary: true, mask: true}); +}); +``` + +Setting `mask`, as done for the send options above, will cause the data to be masked according to the websocket protocol. The same option applies for text data. + +### Server example ### + +```js +var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server + , wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080}); +wss.on('connection', function(ws) { + ws.on('message', function(message) { + console.log('received: %s', message); + }); + ws.send('something'); +}); +``` + +### Server sending broadcast data ### + +```js +var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server + , wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080}); + +wss.broadcast = function(data) { + for(var i in this.clients) + this.clients[i].send(data); +}; +``` + +### Error handling best practices ### + +```js +// If the WebSocket is closed before the following send is attempted +ws.send('something'); + +// Errors (both immediate and async write errors) can be detected in an optional callback. +// The callback is also the only way of being notified that data has actually been sent. +ws.send('something', function(error) { + // if error is null, the send has been completed, + // otherwise the error object will indicate what failed. +}); + +// Immediate errors can also be handled with try/catch-blocks, but **note** +// that since sends are inherently asynchronous, socket write failures will *not* +// be captured when this technique is used. +try { + ws.send('something'); +} +catch (e) { + // handle error +} +``` + +### echo.websocket.org demo ### + +```js +var WebSocket = require('ws'); +var ws = new WebSocket('ws://echo.websocket.org/', {protocolVersion: 8, origin: 'http://websocket.org'}); +ws.on('open', function() { + console.log('connected'); + ws.send(Date.now().toString(), {mask: true}); +}); +ws.on('close', function() { + console.log('disconnected'); +}); +ws.on('message', function(data, flags) { + console.log('Roundtrip time: ' + (Date.now() - parseInt(data)) + 'ms', flags); + setTimeout(function() { + ws.send(Date.now().toString(), {mask: true}); + }, 500); +}); +``` + +### wscat against echo.websocket.org ### + + $ npm install -g ws + $ wscat -c ws://echo.websocket.org + connected (press CTRL+C to quit) + > hi there + < hi there + > are you a happy parrot? + < are you a happy parrot? + +### Other examples ### + +For a full example with a browser client communicating with a ws server, see the examples folder. + +Note that the usage together with Express 3.0 is quite different from Express 2.x. The difference is expressed in the two different serverstats-examples. + +Otherwise, see the test cases. + +### Running the tests ### + +`make test` + +## API Docs ## + +See the doc/ directory for Node.js-like docs for the ws classes. + +## License ## + +(The MIT License) + +Copyright (c) 2011 Einar Otto Stangvik <einaros@gmail.com> + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining +a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the +'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including +without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, +distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to +permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to +the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be +included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 'AS IS', WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, +EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. +IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY +CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, +TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE +SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. |
