name: ghcjs-websockets version: 0.3.0.0 synopsis: GHCJS interface for the Javascript Websocket API description: 'ghcjs-websockets' aims to provide a clean, idiomatic, efficient, low-level, out-of-your-way, bare bones, concurrency-aware interface with minimal abstractions over the Javascript Websockets API , inspired by common Haskell idioms found in libraries like 'io-stream' and the server-side 'websockets' library, targeting compilation to Javascript with 'ghcjs'. . The interface asbtracts websockets as simple IO/file handles, with additional access to the natively "typed" (text vs binary) nature of the Javascript Websockets API. There are also convenience functions to directly decode serialized data (serialized with 'binary' ) sent through channels. . The library is mostly intended to be a low-level FFI library, with the hopes that other, more advanced libraries maybe build on the low-level FFI bindings in order to provide more advanced and powerful abstractions. Most design decisions were made with the intent of keeping things as simple as possible in order for future libraries to abstract over it. . Most of the necessary functionality is in hopefully in 'JavaScript.WebSockets'; more of the low-level API is exposed in 'JavaScript.WebSockets.Internal' if you need it for library construction. . See the 'JavaScript.WebSockets' module for detailed usage instructions and examples. . Some examples: . > import Data.Text (unpack) > > -- A simple echo client, echoing all incoming text data > main :: IO () > main = withUrl "ws://my-server.com" $ \conn -> > forever $ do > t <- receiveText conn > putStrLn (unpack t) > sendText conn t . > -- A simple client waiting for connections and outputting the running sum > main :: IO () > main = withUrl "ws://my-server.com" (runningSum 0) > > runningSum :: Int -> Connection -> IO () > runningSum n conn = do > i <- receiveData conn > print (n + i) > runningSum (n + i) conn . > -- Act as a relay between two servers > main :: IO () > main = do > conn1 <- openConnection "ws://server-1.com" > conn2 <- openConnection "ws://server-2.com" > forever $ do > msg <- receiveMessage conn1 > sendMessage conn2 msg > closeConnection conn2 > closeConnection conn1 homepage: http://github.com/mstksg/ghcjs-websockets license: MIT license-file: LICENSE author: Justin Le maintainer: Justin Le copyright: Copyright (c) Justin Le 2015 category: Web build-type: Simple -- extra-source-files: cabal-version: >=1.10 source-repository head type: git location: https://github.com/mstksg/ghcjs-websockets library exposed-modules: JavaScript.WebSockets , JavaScript.WebSockets.Internal -- ghcjs-options: -O2 -- other-modules: -- other-extensions: ghc-options: -Wall build-depends: base >= 4.7 && < 5 , base64-bytestring >= 1 , binary >= 0.7 , bytestring >= 0.10 , ghcjs-base >= 0.1 , text >= 1.2 hs-source-dirs: src default-language: Haskell2010
