Core Modules

For advanced usage, you can import the core modules directly:

import { WebSocketClient, LogStore } from '@andrewshell/socklog'

const client = new WebSocketClient({
  url: 'ws://localhost:8080/logs',
  reconnect: true,
  reconnectInterval: 3000,
  maxReconnectAttempts: 10
})

const store = new LogStore(1000)

client.addEventListener('log', (e) => {
  store.add(e.detail)
})

client.connect()

Types

interface LogEntry {
  id: string
  timestamp: Date
  data: unknown
  raw: string
}

interface WebSocketConfig {
  url: string
  reconnect?: boolean
  reconnectInterval?: number
  maxReconnectAttempts?: number
}

interface LogFilter {
  search?: string
}

type ConnectionStatus = 'connecting' | 'connected' | 'disconnected' | 'error'
