The Thruster Socket Component.

Library for building an evented socket server.

The socket component provides a more usable interface for a socket-layer server or client based on the [`EventLoop`](https://github.com/ThrusterIO/event-loop)and [`Stream`](https://github.com/ThrusterIO/stream) components.

Server
------

[](#server)

The server can listen on a port and will emit a `connection` event whenever a client connects.

Connection
----------

[](#connection)

The `Connection` is a readable and writable [`Stream`](https://github.com/ThrusterIO/stream). The incoming connection represents the server-side end of the connection.

It MUST NOT be used to represent an outgoing connection in a client-side context. If you want to establish an outgoing connection, use the [`SocketClient`](https://github.com/ThrusterIO/socket-client) component instead.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require thruster/socket
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Here is a server that closes the connection if you send it anything.

```
$loop = new EventLoop();

$socket = new Server($loop);
$socket->on('connection', function ($conn) {
    $conn->write("Hello world!\n");

    $conn->on('data', function ($data) use ($conn) {
        $conn->close();
    });
});
$socket->listen(1337);

$loop->run();
```

You can change the host the socket is listening on through a second parameter provided to the listen method:

```
$socket->listen(1337, '192.168.0.1');
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
$ composer test
```
