Nodewebsocket is a socketserver for node.js (http://nodejs.org).

Create Module

var Module = this.Module = function() {};

Module.prototype.onConnect = function(connection) {
  // handle connect
};

Module.prototype.onData = function(connection) {
  // handle data
};

Module.prototype.onClose = function(connection) {
  // handle close
};

Module.prototype.onError = function(connection) {
  // handle an error
};

The connection Object looks like:

connection

• data //the data sent to the socket
• remoteAddress //the remoteAddress
• exception //if an exception is thrown
• function write(dataToWrite) //function to write to the socket
• function end() //function to close the socket
• socket //the original socket object used inside the server

Clientside

var webSocket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080/module');

webSocket.onopen = function(event){
  // whatever should be done on socket open
};

webSocket.onmessage = function(event){
  // whatever should be done on socket message
};
    
webSocket.onclose = function(event){
  // whatever should be done on socket close
};
