Easy Rx WebSocket Client/Server Management Framework

Picture credit: Clker-Free-Vector-Images @ Pixabay

Goal

Sockie is design to simplify the Websocket Server/Client API with Reactive Extensions.

1. Out-of-Box WebSocket Server with Reactive Extensions
2. Out-of-Box WebSocket Client RxJS Subject that support both Node.js & Browser
3. Socket as a Subject
4. readyState as a Observable
5. event as a Observable
6. Sockie will always be HOT(Observable).
7. Always automaticaly reconnect untill you call complete() or error()
8. Not support Binary Type

Example

Talk is cheap, show me the code!
