node-ws-captp v1.1.0

Node Websocket CapTP

A node.js module for exposing and connecting with CapTP over Websockets.

This builds on the module ws, which uses the node Socket API, and so this should only work in node, but if your bundler polyfills node APIs like browserify does, you may find it works, as it does in the browser example.

Installation

npm i node-ws-captp -S or yarn add node-ws-captp.

Usage

Complete usage for both client and server can be observed in a single very simple test:

const { createServer, createClient } = require('node-ws-captp');

test('basic connection', async (t) => {
  const greeting = 'Hello, world!';

  const bootstrap  = {
    greet: async () => greeting,
  };

  const killServer = createServer(bootstrap, 8088);

  const { E, getBootstrap, abort } = createClient('ws://localhost:8088');

  const value = await E(getBootstrap()).greet();
  t.equals(value, greeting, 'Returned greeting over server');
  abort();
  killServer();
  t.end();
});
