Receive a 16-bit Integer from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveInt16, which reads exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and stores the result in the ReceivedInt property. Byte order and signedness are selectable.

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 two bytes as a 16-bit integer and store the result in the ReceivedInt property.
  // The 1st argument selects byte order (true = big-endian); the 2nd selects unsigned interpretation.
  const bBigEndian = true;
  const bUnsigned = false;
  try {
    await socket.receiveInt16Async(bBigEndian, bUnsigned);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Received 16-bit integer: ${socket.receivedInt}`);
