bsp

Basic Socket Protocol

install

npm i bsp

Usage

import * as net from "net";
import { send, receive } from "bsp";

var server = net.createServer(socket => {
    let temp = []; // a container to store incomplete data.

    socket.on("data", buf => {
        for (let msg of receive(buf, temp)) {
            // the first message would be 'Hello, World!'
        }
    });
});

server.listen(8000, () => {
    var socket = net.createConnection(8000);

    socket.on("connect", () => {
        socket.write(send("Hello, World!"));
    });
});

API

• send(...data: any[]): Buffer
• receive(buf: Buffer, temp: any[]): IterableIterator<any>

Notice

Due to performance and compatibility considerations, this module (since version 0.2) uses JSON to transfer data instead.

API change in v0.3, passing multiple arguments into send() now acts exactly the same as calling send() multiple times.
