Implementation of client Newcamd protocol.
npm install newcamd-clientThere are implemented a few methods which they are able to perform within Newcamd server.
import { connect } from 'newcamd-client';
const connection = await connect({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 1234,
});
const client = await connection.login({
username: 'test',
password: 'test',
desKey: '0102030405060708091011121314',
});
const card = await client.getCard(); // { caid: '4326', providers: [ '001234', '009876' ] }
connection.close();The code snipped above is able to connect to a server, log in and get card info (caid and providers list).
The connect method allows passing a logger witch able to follow the communication with the server. The logger can be Pino, console or any object with error, warn, info, debug, trace functions.
const connection = await connect({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 1234,
logger: console,
});The output for the whole process like in the first snippet should look like this:
Connecting to Newcamd server 127.0.0.1:1234

Closing connection... Bye!
Actually, because I can 😄 The Newcamd protocol is a real piece of obsolete, and ancient way to exchange messages. It uses a fully binary data format encrypted with 3DES. No JSON, no XML, no Protobuf, just simple, blazing-fast bitwise beauty. I was curious if TypeScript will able me to implement useful client, and it could!
I'm not planning to implement the more message types, like exchanging ECM, DW, etc.
