Usage

const options = {
  clientID: "lab-socket",
  connectSocket: true,
  apiServerURI: "https://localhost:3001",
  eventBrokerURI:"https://localhost:3001",
  auth: {
    authServerURI: "https://localhost:3001",
    credentials: {
      grant_type: "password",
      api_key: "my.app.key",
      secret: "******",
    }
  }
}
const client = require("abstract-client").initialize(options);

//invoking Apis
client.api.get("/api/com.core.system/apps").then(console.log);

//subscribing events
client.socketClient.on("system.events.sampleevent", data => {
  console.log("Sample Event Fired with data:", data);
});

//emit events
client.socketClient.raise("system.events.sampleevent", "client-sample", {message: "some message"});
