net.connect(options[, connectListener])
A factory function, which returns a new net.Socket and automatically connects with the supplied options.
The options are passed to both the net.Socket constructor and the socket.connect method.
The connectListener parameter will be added as a listener for the 'connect' event once.
Here is an example of a client of the previously described echo server:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | const net = require('net');const client = net.connect({port: 8124}, () => { // 'connect' listener console.log('connected to server!'); client.write('world!\r\n');});client.on('data', (data) => { console.log(data.toString()); client.end();});client.on('end', () => { console.log('disconnected from server');}); |
To connect on the socket /tmp/echo.sock the second line would just be changed to
1 | const client = net.connect({path: '/tmp/echo.sock'}); |
