I replaced ws with 2.5KB of code and deleted 14 dependencies

npm install ws = 1.2MB. For a WebSocket. I checked node_modules/ws and found 14 dependencies. To send {"type": "ping"} . So I spent a weekend fixing it. Meet @rabbx/ws: 2.5KB gzipped, zero dependencies 6.4KB minified. 2.5KB gzipped. 0 deps. Tree-shakeable. Side-effect free. Same Web Standard API you know: import { RbxSocket } from ' @rabbx/ws ' const ws = new RbxSocket ( ' wss://echo.websocket.org ' ) ws . on ( ' open ' , () => ws . send ( ' hello ' )) ws . on ( ' message ' , e => console . log
