+# smartsocket
+easy and secure websocket communication
+
+## Status
+[![build status](https://gitlab.com/pushrocks/smartsocket/badges/master/build.svg)](https://gitlab.com/pushrocks/smartsocket/commits/master)
+
+## Usage
+We recommend the use of typescript.
+
+### Serverside
+```typescript
+
+import * as smartsocket from "smartsocket"
+let mySmartsocket = new smartsocket.Smartsocket({
+    port: 3000 // the port smartsocket will listen on
+});
+
+let mySocketRole = new smartsocket.SocketRole({
+    name: "someRoleName",
+    passwordHash: "someHashedString"
+});
+
+let mySocketFunction = new smartsocket.SocketFunction({
+    name:"newService",
+    func:(data) => {
+        
+    }, the function to execute
+    roles:[mySocketRole] // all roles that have access to a specific function
+});
+
+mySmartsocket.registerRole(mySocketRole);
+mySmartsocket.clientCall.select("client1","restart",data)
+    .then((responseData) => {
+
+    });
+```
+
+#### Client side
+```typescript
+let mySmartsocketClient = new smartsocket.SmartsocketClient({
+    url: "somedomain.com", // url, note: will only work over https, no http supported.
+    port: 3000
+    role:"dockerhost", // some role, in this example a dockerhost vm,
+    password:"somePassword",
+    alias:"client1"
+});
+
+let mySocketFunction2 = new smartsocket.SocketFunction({
+    name:"restart",
+    func:(data) => {}, the function to execute
+    roles: [mySocketRole] // all roles that have access to a specific function
+});
+
+mySmartsocketClient.registerFunction(mySocketFunction2);
+
+mySmartsocketClient.serverCall("newService",data)
+    .then((responseData) => {
+        
+    });;

-# @push.rocks/smartsocket
-easy and secure websocket communication
-
-## Install
-
-To install @push.rocks/smartsocket, you can use npm or yarn as follows:
-
-```shell
-npm install @push.rocks/smartsocket --save
-```
-or
-```shell
-yarn add @push.rocks/smartsocket
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-@push.rocks/smartsocket offers a robust solution for easy and secure WebSocket communication, utilizing Typescript for clean and maintainable code. Below are comprehensive examples covering various scenarios and features provided by the module.
-
-### Getting Started
-
-First, ensure you've installed the module as shown in the "Install" section. Once installed, you can start using @push.rocks/smartsocket in your project.
-
-### Setting Up a WebSocket Server
-
-To create a WebSocket server that clients can connect to:
-
-```typescript
-import { Smartsocket } from '@push.rocks/smartsocket';
-
-// Create a new instance of Smartsocket for the server.
-const server = new Smartsocket({ alias: 'myServer' });
-
-// Define a SocketFunction that clients can call
-server.addSocketFunction({
-  funcName: 'greet',
-  funcDef: async (data) => {
-    console.log(`Server received: ${data.message}`);
-    return { reply: `Hello, ${data.name}!` };
-  }
-});
-
-// Start the Smartsocket server
-server.start().then(() => {
-  console.log('WebSocket server is running...');
-});
-```
-
-### Creating a WebSocket Client
-
-Create a client that connects to the WebSocket server and interacts with it:
-
-```typescript
-import { SmartsocketClient } from '@push.rocks/smartsocket';
-
-// Create a SmartsocketClient instance and connect to the server
-const client = new SmartsocketClient({
-  url: 'ws://localhost',
-  port: 3000,
-  alias: 'myClient'
-});
-
-client.connect().then(() => {
-  console.log('Connected to WebSocket server');
-});
-
-// Define a function to call the server's 'greet' function
-async function greetServer(name) {
-  const response = await client.serverCall('greet', { name: name, message: 'Hello!' });
-  console.log(`Server replied: ${response.reply}`);
-}
-
-// Use the function
-greetServer('Alice');
-```
-
-### Handling Disconnections and Reconnections
-
-@push.rocks/smartsocket provides mechanisms to handle client disconnections and attempt reconnections:
-
-```typescript
-client.on('disconnect', () => {
-  console.log('Disconnected from server. Attempting to reconnect...');
-  client.connect();
-});
-```
-
-### Sending Binary Data
-
-The library supports the transmission of binary data efficiently:
-
-```typescript
-import fs from 'fs';
-
-// Function to send a binary file to the server
-async function sendBinaryData(filePath) {
-  const fileBuffer = fs.readFileSync(filePath);
-  await client.serverCall('sendFile', { file: fileBuffer });
-}
-
-sendBinaryData('./path/to/your/file.png');
-```
-
-### Securing Your WebSocket Communication
-
-@push.rocks/smartsocket leverages secure WebSocket (WSS) connections to ensure that data transferred between the client and server is encrypted. When setting up your Smartsocket server or client, use `wss://` in your URL to enable secure communication.
-
-### Advanced Usage
-
-#### Mesh Networking
-
-@push.rocks/smartsocket allows for the creation of complex mesh network configurations, enabling servers to communicate with other servers, forming a robust network with multiple nodes.
-
-#### Scaling with @push.rocks/smartsocket
-
-To scale your WebSocket services, you can utilize load balancers and ensure your @push.rocks/smartsocket instances are stateless to allow for horizontal scaling.
-
-### Conclusion
-
-This guide has covered how to set up basic WebSocket communication with @push.rocks/smartsocket, handle disconnections/reconnections, secure your communication, send binary data, and briefly touched on advanced concepts like mesh networking and scaling.
-
-For more detailed documentation, visit [the official @push.rocks/smartsocket GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/pushrocks/smartsocket).
-
-Remember, WebSocket communication with @push.rocks/smartsocket is not only about sending and receiving messages. It's about creating a fast, reliable, and secure communication channel for your real-time applications.
-
-Happy coding!
