Clarify in the documentation if client-side apps are supported

[carlpaten]

I have a UWP app written in TypeScript. I'd like to use WCF.js to talk to WCF endpoints. Is that feasible?

It should be possible providing that the WCF endpoint uses security
configuration which is supported by wcf.js as specified in the readme.

I guess I asked the wrong question. I was wondering if wcf.js could be used as a client-side library.

If you need Wcf.js to do message-level security stuff, then Wcf.js has the dependency chain wcf.js-->ws.js-->xml-crypto which in turn depends on the node.js crypto module. If wcf.js will have all of its dependencies including crypto available it will work on the client side. I know in the past someone tries to make xml-crypto work on a browser and had to manually change the crypto module to another one which was available on the browser.

If you do not use message-level security (but rather use ssl or no security) then you probably don't need the xml-crypto dependency anyway.
