What is simple-websocket?

The simple-websocket npm package provides a straightforward API for creating WebSocket clients and servers. It is designed to be easy to use and lightweight, making it suitable for simple WebSocket communication tasks.

What are simple-websocket's main functionalities?

Creating a WebSocket Client

This code demonstrates how to create a WebSocket client using the simple-websocket package. It connects to a WebSocket server, sends a message upon connection, and listens for incoming messages and connection closure.

const SimpleWebSocket = require('simple-websocket');
const ws = new SimpleWebSocket('ws://example.com');

ws.on('connect', () => {
  console.log('Connected to server');
  ws.send('Hello, server!');
});

ws.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log('Received message:', data);
});

ws.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Connection closed');
});

Creating a WebSocket Server

This code demonstrates how to create a WebSocket server using the simple-websocket package. The server listens for new client connections, sends a welcome message to each client, and handles incoming messages and disconnections.

const SimpleWebSocketServer = require('simple-websocket/server');
const server = new SimpleWebSocketServer({ port: 3000 });

server.on('connection', (socket) => {
  console.log('New client connected');
  socket.send('Welcome, client!');

  socket.on('data', (data) => {
    console.log('Received message from client:', data);
  });

  socket.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Client disconnected');
  });
});
