| ## Migrating from v1 |
| |
| For the most part, migrating from v1 takes minimal effort as v2 still supports factory creation of proxy connections with callback support. |
| |
| ### Notable breaking changes |
| |
| - In an options object, the proxy 'command' is now required and does not default to 'connect'. |
| - **In an options object, 'target' is now known as 'destination'.** |
| - Sockets are no longer paused after a SOCKS connection is made, so socket.resume() is no longer required. (Please be sure to attach data handlers immediately to the Socket to avoid losing data). |
| - In v2, only the 'connect' command is supported via the factory SocksClient.createConnection function. (BIND and ASSOCIATE must be used with a SocksClient instance via event handlers). |
| - In v2, the factory SocksClient.createConnection function callback is called with a single object rather than separate socket and info object. |
| - A SOCKS http/https agent is no longer bundled into the library. |
| |
| For informational purposes, here is the original getting started example from v1 converted to work with v2. |
| |
| ### Before (v1) |
| |
| ```javascript |
| var Socks = require('socks'); |
| |
| var options = { |
| proxy: { |
| ipaddress: "202.101.228.108", |
| port: 1080, |
| type: 5 |
| }, |
| target: { |
| host: "google.com", |
| port: 80 |
| }, |
| command: 'connect' |
| }; |
| |
| Socks.createConnection(options, function(err, socket, info) { |
| if (err) |
| console.log(err); |
| else { |
| socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: google.com\n\n"); |
| socket.on('data', function(data) { |
| console.log(data.length); |
| console.log(data); |
| }); |
| |
| // PLEASE NOTE: sockets need to be resumed before any data will come in or out as they are paused right before this callback is fired. |
| socket.resume(); |
| |
| // 569 |
| // <Buffer 48 54 54 50 2f 31 2e 31 20 33 30 31 20 4d 6f 76 65 64 20 50 65... |
| } |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| ### After (v2) |
| ```javascript |
| const SocksClient = require('socks').SocksClient; |
| |
| let options = { |
| proxy: { |
| ipaddress: "202.101.228.108", |
| port: 1080, |
| type: 5 |
| }, |
| destination: { |
| host: "google.com", |
| port: 80 |
| }, |
| command: 'connect' |
| }; |
| |
| SocksClient.createConnection(options, function(err, result) { |
| if (err) |
| console.log(err); |
| else { |
| result.socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: google.com\n\n"); |
| result.socket.on('data', function(data) { |
| console.log(data.length); |
| console.log(data); |
| }); |
| |
| // 569 |
| // <Buffer 48 54 54 50 2f 31 2e 31 20 33 30 31 20 4d 6f 76 65 64 20 50 65... |
| } |
| }); |
| ``` |
