SockJS-client is a promising and advanced browser JavaScript library that brings a WebSocket-like object to the table. Applying this crucial tool, developers can create a low latency, full-duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the web browser and server. It's designed with the intention to function flawlessly in all modern browsers, and even in environments that do not support the WebSocket protocol, notably behind restrictive corporate proxies.
Using SockJS-client is a straightforward process. You initiate by loading the SockJS JavaScript library in your HTML head:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sockjs-client@1/dist/sockjs.min.js"></script>
Once the script loads, you can establish a connection with the SockJS server. Here's an example exhibiting how to do so:
var sock = new SockJS('https://mydomain.com/my_prefix');
sock.onopen = function() {
console.log('open');
sock.send('test');
};
sock.onmessage = function(e) {
console.log('message', e.data);
sock.close();
};
sock.onclose = function() {
console.log('close');
};
In this snippet, an instance of SockJS is created, and event handlers for opening the connection, handling incoming messages, and closing the connection are added.
For detailed understanding on using SockJS-client, users can discover the thorough documentation at SockJS-client GitHub repository. The documentation comprises interactive demos and code snippets offering a comprehensive idea of how SockJS-client works. Moreover, it covers the entire API and various configuration options available to the users.
