Adapter code to run the CometD JavaScript library in a NodeJS environment
This project implements ES6 adapter code that allows the CometD JavaScript Client to run in NodeJS 18.x or greater.
The adapter code exports an implementation of XMLHttpRequest and WebSocket so that the CometD JavaScript Client works in NodeJS as it does within a browser environment.
WebSocket is supported via the ws package.
Install the CometD NodeJS Client:
npm install cometd-nodejs-client
import { adapt } from "cometd-nodejs-client";
import { CometD } from "cometd";
// Shim XMLHTTPRequest for Node.js (required by CometD).
adapt();
// Your normal CometD client application here.
const client = new CometD();
See here for an example CometD client application.
