websocket-nats can't publish binary message(Uint8Array)

[dbskccc]

we want to publish protobuf.js encoded message,when publish the encoded Uint8Array message,the encoded frame is not correct.

nats_con=NATS.connect("ws://192.168.1.103:4223"); nats_con.publish("foo","hello string from websocket"); nats_con.subscribe("foo",function (msg) { console.log("msg:",msg) }); //the frame of the below publish is error nats_con.publish("foo",new Uint8Array(16) ); console.log("script has exec finished");

well,translate the buffer to string first,it works.

message_str=String.fromCharCode.apply(null, buf);
nats_con.publish("foo",message_str )

Glad you were able to find a workaround!

This functionality is actually supported in node-nats using the Buffer API, which is shimmed by this in the browser. If you're using webpack or browserify, you should be able to use Buffer as it works in node.

However, I think it's a good idea to support TypedArray/ArrayBuffer as an equivalent to Buffer for binary messages out of the box, so I'm reopening this issue.

It was a simple fix actually, you should be able to pass a Uint8Array directly to publish now.
