Stream.onAuthentication about alpaca-ts HOT 4 CLOSED

I know I can use setTimeout, but that doesn't feel right.

I also can't use await because "new AlpacaStream" which handles authentication, is an object instantiation.

I realized I can still access the underlying ws object, so I will use stream.on("message") to filter for authorization stream and its current status.

But it will be nice to have a stream.onAuthentication event abstraction in this package's API. I am fairly new to JS, don't know anything about TS, otherwise I would submit a PR.

There is an authenticated event already built in, use it like this:

let stream = new AlpacaStream({
  credentials: {
    key: '***',
    secret: '***',
  },
  stream: 'account',
})

stream.on('authenticated', () => {
  console.log('successfully authenticated')
})

Also I agree with you that there should be more example code in the README or its own folder. 🙂
