Question: WebSocket (server-side usage)

[Vallevard]

Hello, It is possible to communicate via sockets between different web apps(both server side), like socket.io and socket.io-client.

Regards.

Hi @Vallevard, currently no. Now Total.js can communicate with client-side only, but I have a plan to create a client for WebSocket on server-side.

Trust me, here is my first implementation: https://github.com/totaljs/framework/blob/v2.8.1/websocketclient.js

HI @Vallevard, I have a good message, I have implemented WebSocket client successfully into the framework. If you want to test it - install beta version of Total.js $ npm install total.js@beta.

How does it work?

require('total.js');

WEBSOCKETCLIENT(function(client) {

    client.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:8000/');

    client.on('open', function() {
        console.log('OPEN');
    });

    client.on('close', function() {
        console.log('CLOSE');
    });

    client.on('message', function(message) {
        console.log('MESSAGE', message);
    });

    // Default options:
    // client.options.type = 'json';
    // client.options.compress = true;
    // client.options.reconnect = 3000;
    // client.options.encodedecode = true;

    // Sending:
    // client.send({ some: 'object' });

});
