Connecting to a server

Importing the library

ES Module

import { ZilaConnection } from "zilaws-client";

if you need them, you can import types too:

import { WSStatus } from "zilaws-client";

CommonJS

const { ZilaConnection } = require("zilaws-client");

if you need them, you can import types too:

const { WSStatus } = require("zilaws-client");

Connecting

Connecting to the server is asynchronous. The first parameter is a standard websocket connection URL string. The second parameter of the connectTo function is optional. It is a callback which gets called when a problem or error happens.

const client = new ZilaConnection();

//Register message handlers, event handlers here

await client.connectTo("wss://yourhost.com:6589", (reason?: string) => {
  console.error("ZilaConnection error happened:\n" + reason);
});
