Receive a Single Byte from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveByte, which reads exactly one byte and stores its numeric value in the ReceivedInt property. The argument selects signed or unsigned interpretation.

import { Socket } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const socket = new Socket();

  // Connect to the server using TLS.
  const bTls = true;
  const maxWaitMs = 5000;
  try {
    await socket.connectAsync('example.com', 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Read exactly one byte.  Its numeric value is stored in the ReceivedInt property.  Passing true
  // interprets the byte as unsigned (0 through 255); false interprets it as signed.
  const bUnsigned = true;
  try {
    await socket.receiveByteAsync(bUnsigned);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Received byte value: ${socket.receivedInt}`);
