# node-zookeeper-client

A pure Javascript [ZooKeeper](http://zookeeper.apache.org) client module for
[Node.js](http://nodejs.org).

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/node-zookeeper-client.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/node-zookeeper-client/)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alexguan/node-zookeeper-client.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alexguan/node-zookeeper-client)

This module is designed to resemble the ZooKeeper Java client API but with
tweaks to follow the convention of Node.js modules. Developers that are familiar
with the ZooKeeper Java client would be able to pick it up quickly.

This module has been tested to work with ZooKeeper version 3.4.*.

## Installation

You can install it using npm:

```bash
$ npm install node-zookeeper-client
```

## Example

1\. Create a node using given path:

```javascript
var zookeeper = require('node-zookeeper-client');

var client = zookeeper.createClient('localhost:2181');
var path = process.argv[2];

client.once('connected', function () {
console.log('Connected to the server.');

client.create(path, function (error) {
if (error) {
console.log('Failed to create node: %s due to: %s.', path, error);
} else {
console.log('Node: %s is successfully created.', path);
}

client.close();
});
});

client.connect();
```

2\. List and watch the children of given node:

```javascript
var zookeeper = require('node-zookeeper-client');

var client = zookeeper.createClient('localhost:2181');
var path = process.argv[2];

function listChildren(client, path) {
client.getChildren(
path,
function (event) {
console.log('Got watcher event: %s', event);
listChildren(client, path);
},
function (error, children, stat) {
if (error) {
console.log(
'Failed to list children of %s due to: %s.',
path,
error
);
return;
}

console.log('Children of %s are: %j.', path, children);
}
);
}

client.once('connected', function () {
console.log('Connected to ZooKeeper.');
listChildren(client, path);
});

client.connect();
```

More examples can be found [here](examples).

## Documentation

#### Client createClient(connectionString, [options])

Factory method to create a new zookeeper [client](#client) instance.

**Arguments**

* connectionString `String` - Comma separated `host:port` pairs, each
represents a ZooKeeper server. You can optionally append a chroot path, then
the client would be rooted at the given path. e.g.

```javascript
'localhost:3000,locahost:3001,localhost:3002'
'localhost:2181,localhost:2182/test'
```

* options `Object` - An object to set the client options. Currently available
options are:

* `sessionTimeout` Session timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds.
* `spinDelay` The delay (in milliseconds) between each connection attempts.
* `retries` The number of retry attempts for connection loss exception.

Defaults options:

```javascript
{
sessionTimeout: 30000,
spinDelay : 1000,
retries : 0
}
```

**Example**

```javascript
var client = zookeeper.createClient(
'localhost:2181/test',
{ sessionTimeout: 10000 }
);
```

### Client

This is the main class of ZooKeeper client module. An application must
use [`createClient`](#createclientconnectionstring-options) method to
instantiate the client.

Once a connection from the client to the server is established, a session id is
assigned to the client. The client will starts sending heart beats to the server
periodically to keep the session valid.

If the client fails to send heart beats to the server for a prolonged period of
time (exceeding the sessionTimeout value), the server will expire the session.
The client object will no longer be usable.

If the ZooKeeper server the client currently connects to fails or otherwise
does not respond, the client will automatically try to connect to another server
before its session times out. If successful, the application can continue to
use the client.

This class inherits from [events.EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html)
class, see [Event](#event) for details.

#### void connect()

Initiate the connection to the provided server list (ensemble). The client will
pick an arbitrary server from the list and attempt to connect to it. If the
establishment of the connection fails, another server will be tried (picked
randomly) until a connection is established or [close](#close) method is
invoked.

---

#### void close()

Close this client. Once the client is closed, its session becomes invalid.
All the ephemeral nodes in the ZooKeeper server associated with the session
will be removed. The watchers left on those nodes (and on their parents) will
be triggered.

console.log('Current state is: %s', state);
```

---

#### Buffer getSessionId()

Returns the session id of this client instance. The value returned is not valid
until the client connects to a server and may change after a re-connect.

The id returned is a long integer stored into a 8 bytes
[`Buffer`](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) since Javascript does not support
long integer natively.

**Example**

```javascript
var client = zookeeper.createClient({...});
var id = client.getSessionId();
console.log('Session id is: %s', id.toString('hex'));
```

---

#### Buffer getSessionPassword()

Returns the session password of this client instance. The value returned is not
valid until the client connects to a server and may change after a re-connect.

The value returned is an instance of
[`Buffer`](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html).

**Example**

```javascript
var client = zookeeper.createClient({...});
var pwd = client.getSessionPassword();
```

---

#### Number getSessionTimeout()

Returns the *negotiated* session timeout (in milliseconds) for this client
instance. The value returned is not valid until the client connects to a server
and may change after a re-connect.

**Example**

```javascript
var client = zookeeper.createClient({...});
var sessionTimeout = client.getSessionTimeout();
```

---

### State

After the `connect()` method is invoked, the ZooKeeper client starts its
life cycle and transitions its state as described in the following diagram.

![state transition](http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.5/images/state_dia.jpg)

There are two ways to watch the client state changes:

1\. **Node.js convention:** Register event listener on the specific event
which interests you. The following is the list of events that can be watched:

* `connected` - Client is connected and ready.
* `connectedReadOnly` - Client is connected to a readonly server.
* `disconnected` - The connection between client and server is dropped.
* `expired` - The client session is expired.
* `authenticationFailed` - Failed to authenticate with the server.

Note: some events (e.g. `connected` or `disconnected`) maybe be emitted more
than once during the client life cycle.

**Example**

```javascript
client.on('connected', function () {
console.log('Client state is changed to connected.');
});
```

2\. **Java client convention:** Register one event listener on the `state` event
to watch all state transitions. The listener callback will be called with an
instance of the `State` class. The following is the list of exported state
instances:

* `State.CONNECTED` - Client is connected and ready.
* `State.CONNECTED_READ_ONLY` - Client is connected to a readonly server.
* `State.DISCONNECTED` - The connection between client and server is dropped.
* `State.EXPIRED` - The client session is expired.
* `State.AUTH_FAILED` - Failed to authenticate with the server.

```javascript
client.on('state', function (state) {
if (state === zookeeper.State.SYNC_CONNECTED) {
console.log('Client state is changed to connected.');
}
});
```

---

### Event

Optionally, you can register watcher functions when calling
[`exists`](#void-existspath-watcher-callback),
[`getChildren`](#void-getchildrenpath-watcher-callback) and
[`getData`](#void-getdatapath-watcher-callback) methods. The watcher function
will be called with an instance of `Event`.

**Properties**

There are four type of events are exposed as `Event` class properties.

* `NODE_CREATED` - Watched node is created.
* `NODE_DELETED` - watched node is deleted.
* `NODE_DATA_CHANGED` - Data of watched node is changed.
* `NODE_CHILDREN_CHANGED` - Children of watched node is changed.

---

---

#### String getName()

Return the name of the event.

---

#### Number getPath()

### Transaction

Transaction provides a builder interface to construct and commit a set of
operations atomically.

**Example**

```javascript
var client = zookeeper.createClient(process.argv[2] || 'localhost:2181');

client.once('connected', function () {
client.transaction().
