@dyniqo/ts-websocket v1.0.3

WebSocket Management Library

A robust and flexible TypeScript library for managing WebSocket connections alongside an HTTP server. This library provides seamless integration into Node.js applications with built-in support for dependency injection, modular design, and extensibility.

📜 Features

• 🌐 Unified HTTP and WebSocket Management: Simplifies handling both HTTP and WebSocket protocols.
• 🧩 Dependency Injection: Powered by inversify for modular and testable architecture.
• 🛠️ Highly Extensible: Offers interfaces and hooks for custom implementations (e.g., authentication, logging).
• 🔌 Middleware Support: Easily add HTTP and WebSocket middleware.
• 📝 TypeScript First: Fully typed APIs for safer and more productive development.

📦 Installation

Install the package using npm or yarn:

npm install @dyniqo/ts-websocket

yarn add @dyniqo/ts-websocket

⚙️ Usage

🛠️ Basic Setup

The WebSocketManager class is the core component of the library. Here is an example of its usage:

import { WebSocketManager } from '@dyniqo/ts-websocket';

// Configuration options
const options = {
  port: 3000,
  enableLogging: true,
};

// Initialize WebSocketManager
const wsManager = new WebSocketManager(options);

// Start the server
wsManager.start().then(() => {
  console.log('WebSocket server is running!');
});

📚 API Documentation

🖥️ WebSocketManager

📖 Methods:

• constructor(options: IWebSocketManagerOptions): Initialize the WebSocket manager with configuration.
• start(): Promise<void>: Start the HTTP and WebSocket servers.
• stop(): Promise<void>: Stop the servers gracefully.
• onConnection(handler: (socket: WebSocket) => void): void: Register a handler for new WebSocket connections.

⚙️ Configuration Options (IWebSocketManagerOptions)

The IWebSocketManagerOptions interface provides configuration properties to customize the WebSocketManager. Below are the available options:

🧑‍💻 Usage Example

import { WebSocketManager } from '@dyniqo/ts-websocket';

const wsManager = new WebSocketManager({
  port: 8080,
  secretKey: 'anySecretKey',
  tokenExpiry: '2h',
  enableLogging: true,
  beforeSend: (message) => {
    console.log('Before sending message:', message);
  },
  afterSend: (message) => {
    console.log('After sending message:', message);
  },
  onMessage: (message) => {
    console.log('Received message:', message);
  },
  setupRoutes: (app) => {
    app.get('/status', (req, res) => {
      res.send('Server is running!');
    });
  },
});

wsManager.start();

🚀 Advanced Usage

🔌 Middleware Integration

Add middleware for HTTP requests or WebSocket connections:

wsManager.use((req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`HTTP Request: ${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  next();
});

🌐 WebSocket Event Handlers

Define handlers for WebSocket events:

wsManager.onConnection((socket) => {
  console.log('New connection established.');

  socket.on('message', (msg) => {
    console.log(`Received message: ${msg}`);
    socket.send('Hello, Client!');
  });

  socket.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Connection closed.');
  });

  socket.on('error', (err) => {
    console.error(`Error: ${err.message}`);
  });
});

🔄 Lifecycle Hooks

The library provides lifecycle hooks to customize the behavior at different stages:

🖥️ Server Lifecycle

wsManager.onStart(() => {
  console.log('Server is starting...');
});

wsManager.onStop(() => {
  console.log('Server is shutting down...');
});

✉️ Message Lifecycle

• beforeSend: Modify or validate messages before they are sent.

wsManager.beforeSend((message, socket) => {
  console.log('Preparing to send message:', message);
  // Modify the message if needed
  return message;
});

• afterSend: Perform actions after a message is sent.

wsManager.afterSend((message, socket) => {
  console.log('Message sent:', message);
  // Additional post-send logic here
});
