stream-url marries streams and urls. API user can start a server or a client connection using an ultra-compact universal interface of two methods: listen
and connect
. Underlying implementation relies on websocket-stream
// Server
var su = require('stream-url-ws');
// start a WebSocket echo server
var server = su.listen ('ws://localhost:1234', function ready() {
server.on('stream', function (stream) {
stream.on('data', stream.write.bind(stream));
})
});
// Client
var su = require('stream-url-ws');
var stream = su.connect('ws://localhost:1234', function ready() {
stream.on ('data', function log (data) {
console.log(''+data);
stream.end();
});
stream.write('Hello world!');
});
Client handle is a duplex stream with additional connect
event.
Server implements websocket server events but connection
carries a stream rather than a websocket.
