scalajs-transport

Scala/Scala.js library for simple, unified communication between Scala systems. The idea is to have a single interface at the core of the library, Transport, which allows to write generic network applications. Depending on the platform, one can then use any of the available implementations of this interface:

Platform	WebSocket	SockJS	WebRTC
JavaScript	client	client	client
Play Framework	server	server	-
Netty	both	incomming	-
Tyrus	client	-	-

In addition, the library provides wrappers for Autowire and Akka/scala-js-actors on top of the Transport interface for higher level of abstraction. More information can be found on this report, chapter 2 is about the library.

Setup

To avoid unnecessary dependencies, the library it split on 8 artifacts, pick only what you need if you don't want to download Play, Akka and Netty. It's on Sonatype Snapshots, compiled for Scala 2.11 and Scala.js 0.6.0+:

What's in the box

• Core:
  • transport.Transport (js+jvm)
  • transport.ConnectionUtils (js+jvm)
• JavaScript:
  • transport.javascript.SockJSClient (js)
  • transport.javascript.WebSocketClient (js)
• WebRTC:
  • transport.webrtc.WebRTCClient (js)
  • transport.webrtc.WebRTCClientFallback (js+jvm)
• Netty:
  • transport.netty.WebSocketServer (jvm)
• Play:
  • transport.play.WebSocketServer (jvm)
  • transport.play.PlayUtils (jvm)
  • transport.play.PlayUtils (js)
• Tyrus:
  • transport.tyrus.WebSocketClient (jvm)
• RPC:
  • transport.rpc.RpcWrapper (js+jvm)
• Akka:
  • transport.akka.ActorWrapper (js+jvm)

To use the ActorWrapper on JavaScript you will to publish-local scala-js-pickling and scala-js-actors for Scala.js 0.6.0.
