Deno 2.2 Improves Dependency Management and Expands Node.js Compatibility
Deno 2.2 enhances Node.js compatibility, improves dependency management, adds OpenTelemetry support, and expands linting and task automation for developers.
Super Socket.io Client. A drop-in replacement for Automattic/socket.io-client.
SuperIO is released on npm
and can be installed using:
npm install superio --save
SuperIO can be used with Browserify and stand-alone and has the same interface as socket.io-client.
var socket = require('superio')('http://localhost');
socket.on('connect', function(){
socket.on('event', function(data){});
socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
});
<script src="/superio/dist/superio.min.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = superio('http://localhost');
socket.on('connect', function(){
socket.on('event', function(data){});
socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
});
</script>
npm install
- Install the build prerequisites.gulp build
- Build using Gulp. Result is in dist
folder.npm test
- Run tests.Exposed as the superio
namespace in the standalone build, or the result
of calling require('superio')
.
The following options can be provided:
Name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
header | Header applied to each message | null |
messageEvent | Agnostic message event name | message |
errorEvent | Req-Res Error event name (prefix) | error: |
io | Socket.IO options. See Socket.IO | null |
Built-in support for Regular Expressions. Simply listen in on the expression.
Some Examples:
//Listen On All Transactions
socket.on('transaction:*', function(t){});
//Listen On All Transactions Except From Brokerage
socket.on('transaction:(?!brokerage:.*$).+', function(t){});
//Listen On Everything (Wildcard)
socket.on('.*', function(m){});
Featuring a "sane" on/off event interface with optional (but super-awesome) context support.
socket.on(event, callback, [context])
The extra context support allows you to unbind based context. Its really handy when you want to destroy all listeners from an object during its destruction
// Removes just the `onTransaction` callback.
socket.off('transaction', onTransaction);
// Removes all 'transaction' callbacks.
socket.off('transaction');
// Removes the `onTransaction` callback for all events.
socket.off(null, onTransaction);
// Removes all callbacks for `myObject` for all events.
socket.off(null, null, myObject);
// Removes all callbacks on socket.
socket.off();
Keeps the zombie objects at bay!
A simple req-res interface. Emit an event, catch it back and then stop listening.
errorEvent
prefix used to listen for an error. Default is 'error:'.var joinMsg = { roomId: 'westminster' };
socket.reqRes('room:join', joinMsg, function(err, room){
if(err) { return this.onError(err); }
this.onJoin(room);
}, this);
The error prefix can be set as an option:
var superio = require('superio');
var socket = superio('http://localhost'{
errorEvent: 'my_super_error:'
});
//Will Pass Error Events As: 'my_super_error:room:join'
socket.reqRes('room:join', {...}, function(err, room){
...
}, this);
When you just want to send a message through a single entry point.
var message = { type: 'transaction', payload: { ... } };
socket.send(message);
This will emit a 'message' event to the server. Same as what Socket.io provides...
However, if you want to emit a different message or attach a header, you can easily pass those in as options.
var superio = require('superio');
var socket = superio('http://localhost'{
messageEvent: 'client-request',
header: { auth: 'username:password' }
});
//Will Add The Authentication Header Before Sending
socket.send({ type: 'chat', message: 'blah-blah' });
