booth

Booth provides symmetric Event API over websocket or unix domain socket

Alike socket.io, but less powerful. Simple Event API, simple reconnect strategy, symmetric usage via Endpoint() on both client and server sides.

const dispatch = Dispatch(options)

const dispatch = Dispatch({ port: 9000 })

/*

const dispatch = Dispatch({ server })

dispatch.on('name', handler)
dispatch.on({ name: handler })

function handler (data, endpoint) { /* … */ }

Endpoint(ws_uri)

Endpoint('ws://127.0.0.1:9000')
Endpoint('ws://localhost:9000')

/* unix domain socket */
Endpoint('ws+unix:///tmp/booth/unix.sock')

endpoint.on('name', handler)
endpoint.on({ name: handler })

function handler (data, endpoint) { /* … */ }
