gell-ws v0.4.0

gell-ws

gell based support for websockets

Web Socket Server

Concepts

• server
  • refers to the component responsible for listening on an HTTP port for incoming connections
  • implements the websocket protocol
  • emits events (as an EventEmmiter)
    • connection events
    • port related events (listening, closed, etc)
  • does not maintain any connection state
• pool
  • set of websocket connections
  • uniquely identifies connections
  • handles connection related events from server
  • emits events (as an EventEmmiter)
    • connection open/closed related events
    • message related events
• ingress
  • handles connection related events emitted from pool
  • dispatches events....
  • mimics systems such as Lambda for triggering business logic from websocket activity

Brainstorm

• i think this is only for supporting websocket servers
  • as opposed to clients
• need simple examples
• support WEBSOCKET realm and session types
• why is this dependent on gell-http?
