Usage in Node.js

To connect with WebSockets in Node.js, we must use a library implementing the WebSocket API, such as isomorphic-ws.

var WebSocket = require('isomorphic-ws');
var ResClient = require('resclient').default;
// Create instance with a WebSocket factory function
var client = new ResClient(() => new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8080"));
