-# smartsocket
-easy and secure websocket communication, Typescript ready
-
-## 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.
-Under the hood we use socket.io and shortid for managed data exchange.
-
-### 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
-import * as smartsocket from "smartsocket";
-
-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
-});
-
-mySmartsocketClient.registerFunction(mySocketFunction2);
-
-mySmartsocketClient.serverCall("newService",data)
-    .then((responseData) => {
-        
-    });;
-```
-
-> **NOTE:** you can easily chain dependent requests on eiter the server or client side with promises. `data` is always a js object that you can design for your specific. It supports buffers for large binary data network exchange.

+# @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).
