Primus-Tcp

Primus Raw TCP Transformer. Connect Node.js to Vanilla TCP Servers via Primus.

Getting Started

Install the transformer with this command:

npm install primus-tcp --save

Add the transformer to the Primus constructor and subscribe to the events.

var primus = require('primus');
var transformer = require('primus-tcp/transformer/tcp');
var parser = require('primus-tcp/parser/pipe');

var PrimusSocket = primus.createSocket({
    transformer: transformer,
    parser: parser
});

var url = "...";    //Destination Server
var options = { };  //Standard Primus Options

var connection = new PrimusSocket(url, options);

//Standard Primus Events
connection.on("open", function(){ /*...*/ });
connection.on("end", function(){ /*...*/ });
connection.on("reconnect", function(){ /*...*/ });
connection.on("error", function(){ /*...*/ });
connection.on("data", function(data){ /*...*/ });

Now we are able to connect to a vanilla tcp server (Java?) and still keep all the neat abstractions (reconnect, heartbeat, etc) that Primus provides.
