Usage

We recommend the use of typescript. Under the hood we use socket.io and shortid for managed data exchange.

Serverside

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 testSocketFunction1 = new smartsocket.SocketFunction({
    funcName:"testSocketFunction1",
    funcDef:(data) => {
        
    }, // the function to execute
    allowedRoles:[mySocketRole] // all roles that have access to a specific function
});

mySmartsocket.clientCall("","restart",data,someTargetConnection)
    .then((responseData) => {

    });

Client side

import * as smartsocket from "smartsocket";

let testSmartsocketClient = new smartsocket.SmartsocketClient({
    port: testConfig.port,
    url: "http://localhost",
    password: "testPassword",
    alias: "testClient1",
    role: "testRole1"
});
testSmartsocketClient.connect()
    .then(() => {
        done();
    });

let testSocketFunction2 = new smartsocket.SocketFunction({
    funcName: "testSocketFunction2",
    funcDef: (data) => {}, // the function to execute, has to return promise
    allowedRoles:[]
});

let functionCalldata = {
    funcName: "",
    funcData: {
        someKey:"someValue"
    }
}

mySmartsocketClient.serverCall("function",functionCallData)
    .then((functionResponseData) => { // the functionResponseData comes from the server... awesome, right?
        
    });;

NOTE:
you can easily chain dependent requests on either the server or client side with promises.
data is always a js object that you can design for your specific needs.
It supports buffers for large binary data network exchange.
