web-socket

A Polymer element to ease the use and configuration of WebSockets.

<web-socket url="ws://echo.websocket.org"
            auto json
            on-open="_onOpen"
            on-close="_onClose"
            on-message="_onMessage"
            on-error="_onError">
</web-socket>

The above example shows how to establish a WebSocket connection with <web-socket> in a Polymer app. This simple declarative element definition is:

• Establishing a connection to ws://echo.websocket.org.
• Automatically connecting on page load and reconnecting on url change.
• Parsing and stringifying JSON automatically.
• Automatically reconnecting in the event of an unclean close event (a default behaviour of this library - no configuration required through properties).
• Setting up event handlers to functions declared externally (_onOpen, _onClose, etc - defined by a parent element, such as a page).

Install
