ws-chan
WebSocket interaction modeled as a pair of streams, for incoming and outgoing messages correspondingly. It provides:
- JSON encoding/decoding of incoming/outgoing messages correspondingly
- reconnect logic with exponential backoff (by default)
Example usage
On a client:
var channel = ;var ch = ; chin;chout;
Channel also emits open
, end
and error
events on corresponding socket
stream events.
On socket end
and error
channel tries to re-establish a connection after
some timeout which is handled by node-backoff module (by default exponential
backoff algorithm is used).
