This is a strongly-typed binary message parser written in TypeScript. I wrote this a couple of years ago as part of a medium article.
It was a culmination of some of my learnings from working at Senti. The main purpose is to take in binary data from a source (such as TCP, HTTP or file IO) and parse it into usable data structures (JS Objects).
To run the server in a production ready fashion, run npm compile in the current directory, then in the dist directory,
run: node index.js. This starts the server. Alternatively, run: npm start which will start nodemon in a dev server
environment.
In a separate window, run: npm test:integration which runs the test client. This connects to the TCP server and
sends a door message to the localhost on port 9999. Logs can be checked.
