Looking for the zilaws-server package?

ZilaWS can establish WS connection to a non-zilaws server, but won't work as expected.

Waiters

ZilaWS has a unique function called waiter. Waiters (as their name suggests) can be awaited. They resolve when the client side MessageHandler resolves or returns thus making it perfect for retrieving data from a client. However if the client does not respond in time, waiters will resolve as undefined.

Parameters

Regular waiters

Regular waiters wait for a response for the amount of time specified by the maxWaiterTime property. This is a property of the client.

  • identifier: The name of the MessageHandler on the other side of the connection.
  • ...data: A waiter (or a send) can be given any number of any data.
socket.waiter<T>(identifier: string, ...data: any[]): Promise<T | undefined>

Timeout Waiters

  • maxWaitingTime: This paramater overrides the maximum waiting time for the corresponding waiter. The value is in miliseconds.
socket.waiterTimeout<T>(identifier: string, maxWaitingTime: number, ...data: any[]): Promise<T | undefined>

Example

Client

const client = await connectTo("wss://yourhost.com:6589");

console.log(await client.waiter("GetValueOfPI", "Some string") as number); // --> 3.141592653589793
console.log(await client.waiterTimeout("GetValueOfPI", 1200, "Some string") as number); // --> 3.141592653589793

Server

const server = new ZilaServer({
    port: 6589,
    https: {
        pathToCert: "cert/fullchain.pem",
        pathToKey: "cert/privkey.pem"
    }
});

server.setMessageHandler("GetValueOfPI", (param1: string) => {
    console.log(param1); // --> Some string
    return Math.PI;
});
