chrome tcp socket interface with streaming powers
var Socket = require('chrome-socket');
// create a new tcp socket (not connected or listening yet)
// socket is a stream and an event emitter
var socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(host, port);
// socket has connected
socket.once('connect', function() {
});
socket.on('data', function(chunk) {
// chunck is an ArrayBuffer of data received from the socket
});
socket.on('error', function(err) {
// uh oh!
});
The API is modeled after node.js sockets. However, it emits and deals with ArrayBuffer
objects versus node Buffers
and provides no encoding. Encoding is provided by piping the socket to other streams.
Use npm to install.
npm install chrome-socket
