ReactiveSocket Protocol for Client/Server for Javascript

reactivesocket-js

ReactiveSocket Protocol for Client/Server for JS. Also comes with a CLI.

npm install -g reactivesocket

This library only supports the request/response, setup and error interactions. More interactions are coming soon.

Streams

The transport for this library is built entirely on top of the Node.js Stream API. As a result, it is agnostic to the underlying transport mechanism. As long as you pass in a transport stream that is a Node.js Duplex stream, this library will work.

Using streams means that this library natively supports backpressure regardless of the transport implementation.

We currently target TCP via the net module, and WebSockets via the yws-stream module. You are of course, free to inject other transports.

Connection Quick Start

TCP

var net = require('net');

var bunyan = require('bunyan');
var reactiveSocket = require('reactivesocket');


// Create any transport stream that's a Node.js Duplex Stream.
var transportStream = net.connect(1337, 'localhost', function (err) {
    var rsConnection = reactiveSocket.createConnection({
        log: bunyan.createLogger({name: 'rsConnection'}),
        transport: {
            stream: transportStream,
            framed: true // TCP requires explicit framing
        },
        type: 'client',
        metadataEncoding: 'utf8',
        dataEncoding: 'utf8'
    });

    rsConnection.on('ready', function () {
        // returns a reactive socket stream
        var stream = rsConnection.request({
            metadata: 'You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon',
            data: 'Shine on you crazy diamond.'
        });

        stream.on('response', function (res) {
            console.log('got response', res.getResponse());
        });

        stream.on('application-error', function (err) {
            console.error('got error', err);
        });
    });
});

WebSocket

var bunyan = require('bunyan');
var reactiveSocket = require('reactivesocket');

var Ws = require('ws');
var WSStream = require('yws-stream');


var websocket = new Ws('ws://localhost:1337');

// Create any transport stream that's a Node.js Duplex Stream
var transportStream = new WSStream({
    log: bunyan.createLogger({name: 'ws-stream'}),
    ws: websocket
});

// Wait for Websocket to establish connection, before we create an RS Connection
websocket.on('open', function() {

    var rsConnection = reactiveSocket.createConnection({
        log: bunyan.createLogger({name: 'rsConnection'}),
        transport: {
            stream: transportStream
        },
        type: 'client',
        metadataEncoding: 'utf8',
        dataEncoding: 'utf8'
    });

    rsConnection.on('ready', function () {
        // returns a reactive socket stream
        var stream = rsConnection.request({
            metadata: 'You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon',
            data: 'Shine on you crazy diamond.'
        });

        stream.on('response', function (res) {
            console.log('got response', res.getResponse());
        });

        stream.on('application-error', function (err) {
            console.error('got error', err);
        });
    });
});

CLI

This library comes with a CLI. You can use it by installing this module.

$ npm install -g reactivesocket

RS Client

There are two versions of the client CLI. The simple CLI makes one request to a server.

$ rs -o req tcp://localhost:1337 'if you didnt care what happened to me, And I didnt care for you'

There is also a benchmarking CLI in the vein of Apache Bench

$ rb -c 10 -n 10000000 -s 1000 tcp://localhost:1337
{ 'elapsed time (s)': 10.529176232,
  'total reqs': 137133,

  'mean (ms)': 0.75758988656268,
  '0.1% (ms)': 0.457949,

  '99.99% (ms)': 32.613085,
  '99.999% (ms)': 101.189893 }

Echo Servers

Simple echo servers are also available for both TCP and Websocket.

TCP

$ HOST=localhost PORT=1337 rs-tcp-server

WebSocket

$ HOST=localhost PORT=1337 rs-ws-server
