Simple event communication between Roblox servers and Node.js

Originally created by Reselim but was deprecated.

Installation

Client

Put the contents of client.lua inside of a ModuleScript.

Example

Server

Main Script

// MainScript
var express = require("express")

var app = express();

app.use('/rbxwebhook', require(../PATH/TO/ROUTER/FILE))

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send("Howdy")
});


app.listen(3000);

Router File

var longPolling = require("rbxwebhook.js");
var server = new longPolling();

server.on("connection", conn => {
  console.log(`New connection (id: ${conn.id})`);

  conn.on("ping", message => {
    console.log(`echo: ${message}`);
    conn.send("pong", message);
  });

  conn.on("broadcast", message => {
    console.log(`broadcast: ${message}`);
    server.broadcast("broadcast", message);
  });

  conn.on("disconnect", () => {
    console.log(`${conn.id} disconnected`);
  });
});

module.exports = server.router;

Client

local Connection = require(script.Connection)
local client = Connection.new()

client:connect("127.0.0.1:3000/rbxwebhook")

client:on("pong", function(message)
	print("echoed from server: ", message)
end)

client:on("broadcast", function(message)
	print("broadcast: ", message)
end)

client:send("ping", "Hello world!")

game:BindToClose(function()
	client:disconnect()
end)

apiKeys

We now accept apiKeys! It is very simple to implent. All you need to do is add the apiKey option inside of the class you are creatings paremeters.

Example

Server:

const rbxwebhook = require("rbxwebhook.js");
const server = new rbxwebhook({apiKey: "YOURKEYHERE"});

Client:

local rbxwebhook = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("rbxwebhook"));
local client = rbxwebhook.new( { apiKey = "YOURKEYHERE" } );
