packet
Send network packets over a TCP or UDP connection.
Packet
Packet is the main class representing a single network message. It has a byte code indicating the type of the message and a []byte type payload.
Stream
A stream has a send and receive channel with a hot-swappable connection for reconnects. The user has the responsibility to register a callback to consume errors via OnError.
Example
// Connect to a server
conn, _ := net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:7000")
// Create a stream
stream := packet.NewStream(1024)
stream.SetConnection(conn)
// Send a message
stream.Outgoing <- packet.New(0, []byte("ping"))
// Receive message
msg := <-stream.Incoming
// Check message contents
if string(msg.Data) != "pong"
Hot-swap example
// Close server connection to simulate server death
server.Close()
// Send packet while server is down (will be buffered until it reconnects)
client.Outgoing <- packet.New(0, []byte("ping"))
// Reconnect
newServer, _ := net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:7000")
// Hot-swap connection
client.SetConnection(newServer)
// The previously buffered messages in the Outgoing channel will be sent now.
