Pooling WebSocket connection across multiple web browser tabs.

SharedWebSocket

Instead of creating new WebSocket for each tab, SharedWebSocket allows us to use one connection for multiple tabs.

Example

A simple demo on how to connect and receive message from server.

<script src="SharedWebSocket.js"></script>
<script>
var connection = new Khmerload.SharedWebSocket({
    url: "ws://127.0.0.1:8888",
    message: function(message) {
       console.log(message);
    }
});
</script>

A simple demo on how to reconnect 3 times with 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 20 seconds delay

<script src="SharedWebSocket.js"></script>
<script>
var connection = new Khmerload.SharedWebSocket({
    url: "ws://127.0.0.1:8888",
    reconnect: [5000, 10000, 20000]
});
</script>
