Fleare Client Connections

This script demonstrates how to use the fleare client library to create a connection to a remote Fleare server instance, handle lifecycle events, and cleanly manage the connection lifecycle using an asynchronous pattern.

Import 
  import fleare from "fleare";
Usage Overview 
  async function main() {
  const client = fleare.createClient("127.0.0.1", 9219, {
    poolSize: 2,
    username: "root",
    password: "root",
    connectTimeout: 30000,
    maxRetries: 3,
    retryInterval: 10000
  });

  // Register lifecycle event listeners
  ...
  
  try {
    await client.connect();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } finally {
    await client.close();
  }
}
  • Creates a Fleare client instance
  • Subscribes to lifecycle events
  • Initiates the connection
  • Closes the client after execution
Client Configuration 
  const client = fleare.createClient("127.0.0.1", 9219, {
  poolSize: 2,
  username: "root",
  password: "root",
  connectTimeout: 30000,    // Max time to wait before failing a connection attempt (in ms)
  maxRetries: 3,            // Number of retry attempts if connection fails
  retryInterval: 10000      // Delay between retries (in ms)
});

This creates a new client with a connection pool size of 2, authentication credentials, and retry logic.

Client Events
Event Description
connecting Triggered before attempting to connect
connected Fired once the connection is successfully established
disconnected Emitted when the client disconnects from the server
error Triggered on any connection or operational error
close Fired when the connection is closed, gracefully or otherwise
stateChanged Notifies state transitions like connecting → connected

Example:

  client.on("connected", () => {
  console.log("Client connected successfully!");
});
Connection Lifecycle 
  await client.connect();
...
await client.close();
  • connect() initiates the TCP connection to the Fleare server.
  • close() gracefully shuts down the client connection.
Full Code Example 
  import fleare from "fleare";

async function main() {
  const client = fleare.createClient("127.0.0.1", 9219, {
    poolSize: 2,
    username: "root",
    password: "root",
    connectTimeout: 30000,
    maxRetries: 3,
    retryInterval: 10000
  });

  client.on("connecting", () => {
    console.log("Client is connecting...");
  });

  client.on("connected", () => {
    console.log("Client connected successfully!");
  });

  client.on("disconnected", () => {
    console.log("Client disconnected");
  });

  client.on("error", (err) => {
    console.error("Client error:", err.message);
  });

  client.on("close", () => {
    console.error("Client close:");
  });

  client.on("stateChanged", (state) => {
    console.log("Client state changed to:", state);
  });

  try {
    await client.connect();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } finally {
    await client.close();
  }
}

main();
