Rust Support Now in Beta
Socket's Rust support is moving to Beta: all users can scan Cargo projects and generate SBOMs, including Cargo.toml-only crates, with Rust-aware supply chain checks.
html5-websocket
Advanced tools
:warning: Consider this library as deprecated. It was created to expose ws
with a WebSocket
interface. This is no longer needed because latest versions of ws
already implement this interface.
This module implements the standard HTML5 WebSocket API as a thin layer over the great ws library.
The motivation behind this module is to be able to write WebSocket based libraries that will run without changes in Node.js, Browsers or React Native apps.
npm install --save html5-websocket
The API is the same as the standard HTML5 Socket API so nothing new here...
const WebSocket = require('html5-websocket');
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://html5rocks.websocket.org/echo');
ws.onopen = function () {
ws.send('Hello!');
};
ws.onmessage = function (e) {
console.log(e.data);
};
ws.onerror = function (error) {
console.log('Fail:', error);
};
You can also use the DOM Level 2 Event Model
const handleMessage = function (e) {
console.log(e.data);
};
// add listener
ws.addEventListener('message', handleMessage);
// remove listener
ws.removeEventListener('message', handleMessage);
