#skates
opinions:
- WebSocket based apps needs to be on ecosystem, like connect, express.
- WebSocket other websocket frameworks are too monolithic.
- make your life easy: use a module bundler on the client
this is all you need:
//client.js
var emitter = require('skates')()
setInterval(function () {
emitter.emit('ping', Date.now())
}, 1e3)
emitter.on('pong', function (time) {
console.log('latency:', time)
})and this:
//server.js
var skates = require('skates')
var connect = require('connect')
var app = skates.createServer()
.use(connect.static('public')
.on('connection', function (emitter) {
emitter.on('ping', function (time) {
emitter.emit('pong', Date.now() - time)
})
})
.listen(3000)too easy.
oh, yeah.
