stream-url marries streams and urls.
This package implements protocol adapters for all kinds of streams Node.js API provides access to.
- TCP,
tcp://address:port - filesystem sockets
- UDP
- HTTP
- stdin/stdout
API user can start a server or a client connection using an
ultra-compact universal interface of two methods:
listen and connect.
// Server
var su = require('stream-url-node');
// start a WebSocket echo server
su.listen ('tcp://localhost:1234', function ready(err, server) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
server.on('connection', function (stream) {
stream.on('data', stream.write.bind(stream));
})
});
// Client
var su = require('stream-url-ws');
su.connect('tcp://localhost:1234', function ready(err, stream) {
stream.on ('data', function log (data) {
console.log(''+data);
stream.end();
});
stream.write('Hello world!');
});
