Sawk

A tiny and resilient websocket client for the browser

Installation

npm install sawk --save

Usage example

Sawk provides basic utilities wrapped around the native WebSocket interface. If messages are sent before the connection is open, Sawk will queue those messages to be sent on the open event. Sawk also provides a reconnect function which when combined with the onClose handler, allows you to reconnect a closed connection.

import sawk from 'sawk';

const socket = new Sawk('wss://echo.websocket.org/')

socket.onMessage = (event) => {
};

socket.onError = (event) => {
};

socket.onClose = (event) => {
  socket.reconnect();
}

socket.send('a message');

Development setup

npm install
npm test
npm build
