Authorify Websocket

A plugin for Authorify that enable websockets. A provided router allow to use both http and websockets like a REST server. When the plugin is loaded it is available under the main namespace of the host application: app.plugin['your short plugin name'].

Prerequisites

This plugin must be installed both in server and client, respectively in conjunction with Authorify and Authorify-Client.

Installation

Install authorify-websocket as usual:

$ npm install --save authorify-websocket

Usage

Server

var restify = require('restify');
var authorify = require('authorify')({
  //... options
});
// create the http server
var server = restify.createServer();
// add plugin to the server
authorify.load('authorify-websocket', 'ws', {
  transports: ['ws', 'http'],
  requestTimeout: 200
});
// get the loaded plugin
var ws = authorify.plugin.ws;
// create the websocket server
ws.createServer(server);
var router = ws.router;
// add routes
router.get('/handshake', ok);
router.get('/auth', ok);
router.get('/logout', ok);
router.post('/test', ok);
// start the server
server.listen(3000);

Client (Node)

// create the client
var client = require('authorify-client')({
  //... options
});
// add plugin to the client
client.load('authorify-websocket', 'ws', {
  transports: ['ws', 'http'],
  requestTimeout: 200
});

Client (browser)

To create a single file to use in browser environment use a simple script that uses browserify:

$ ./build.sh

and add the obtained authorify-websocket.js file to your html file.

NOTE: this file must be added AFTER authorify.js (the client) and BEFORE your script (index.js in this example):

// index.js
var client = authorify;   // authorify is a global exposed by authorify-client
// configure the client
client.setConfig({
  //... options
});
// load plugin
client.load('authorify-websocket', 'ws', {
  transports: ['ws', 'http'],
  requestTimeout: 200
});
// request a resource
var message = { field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2' };
client.post('/test')
  .send(message)
   .end(function(err, res) {
      // the reply here or err only if request is over timeout
  });
// index.html
<html>
  <body>
    <script src="authorify.js"></script>    // this is the browser version of Authorify-Client
    <script src="authorify-websocket.js"></script> 
    <script src="index.js"></script> 
  </body>
</html>
