StreamMe Message Parser

Package to take a raw chat message from the StreamMe web socket and parse it into an object with all necessary information stored.

How to write a request to the package

To initialize it, you need a room ID, which can be created with the syntax of user:${userPublicId}:room

After that, you can set it up with something similar to below:

const getParser = require('@streammedev/parse-message');

getParser(roomId, function (err, parseMessage) {  
  // The data passed is a message from the web socket without the nameSpace and  ResultType
  // sliced off. See tests for example of raw message.
  const message = parseMessage(data);
  console.log(data);
});

The parseMessage function takes the raw data from a chat on StreamMe and returns an object similar to the one listed below.
