heygen-status-client v1.0.6

HeyGen Status Client

TypeScript status client library for a demo HeyGen video translation service.

Overview

heygen-status-client is a TypeScript client library that allows monitoring of the status of a sample process via HTTP polling or WebSocket. This library is designed to be used with the HeyGen video translation service to track and update the progress of a task.

Installation

npm install heygen-status-client

Features

• WebSocket and HTTP Polling Support: Choose between WebSocket or HTTP polling for monitoring updates, depending on the server's configuration.
• Configurable Polling Strategies: Supports fixed, exponential, and adaptive polling methods to customize the retry logic for HTTP requests.
• Timeout and Retry Management: Specify timeouts and retry limits to control when to stop monitoring based on custom conditions.
• Event-driven Updates: Emits various events such as statusUpdate, finished, error, and timeout, making it easy to integrate into event-driven applications.
• Promise-based Usage: Supports both callback-based (events) and promise-based usage, providing flexibility in implementation.

Usage

Import the Library

import { StatusClient, Status } from 'heygen-status-client';

Example Usage with Event Listeners

Here's how to use StatusClient with event listeners:

const SERVER_URL = 'http://localhost:3000';

const client = new StatusClient({
  serverUrl: SERVER_URL,
  useWebSocket: true, // Set to false to use polling instead
  pollingMethod: 'adaptive', // 'fixed', 'exponential', or 'adaptive' (used if useWebSocket is false)
  initialDelay: 1000, // Initial delay for polling in milliseconds
  maxDelay: 5000, // Maximum delay for polling in milliseconds
  maxRetries: 20, // Maximum number of polling retries
  timeout: 20000, // Overall timeout for the operation in milliseconds
});

client.on('connected', () => {
  console.log('Connected to server via WebSocket.');
});

client.on('statusUpdate', (status: Status) => {
  console.log(`Status updated: ${status}`);
});

client.on('finished', (status: Status) => {
  console.log(`Operation finished with status: ${status}`);
  client.stop();
});

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

client.on('timeout', () => {
  console.error('Operation timed out.');
  client.stop();
});

client.start();

Example Usage with Promises

To use the StatusClient with promises:

function monitorStatus(): Promise<Status> {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const client = new StatusClient({
      serverUrl: SERVER_URL,
      useWebSocket: true,
      timeout: 20000,
    });

    client.on('finished', (status: Status) => {
      console.log(`Operation finished with status: ${status}`);
      client.stop();
      resolve(status);
    });

    client.on('error', (error: Error) => {
      console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
      client.stop();
      reject(error);
    });

    client.on('timeout', () => {
      console.error('Operation timed out.');
      client.stop();
      reject(new Error('Operation timed out.'));
    });

    client.start();
  });
}

monitorStatus()
  .then((status) => {
    console.log(`Final status: ${status}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Monitoring failed: ${error.message}`);
  });

Configuration Options

The StatusClient constructor accepts the following options:

Events

The StatusClient emits the following events:

• connected: Emitted when the WebSocket connection is established.
• statusUpdate: Emitted when the status is updated (such as pending). Payload is Status.
• finished: Emitted when the operation is completed (status is completed or error).
• error: Emitted when an error occurs. Payload is Error.
• timeout: Emitted when the operation times out.
