# Socks.fs

A functional socket library for F#

Socks is a library for F# that provides a simple, safe, and composable method for socket programming.

## Getting Started

First, install and build the library

```sh

cd src

dotnet restore

dotnet build

```

Now all we have to do is use the `socketIO` computation expression and we are off to the races!

Notice how all of the socket computation is being run asynchrounously!

```fsharp

    let socketExample = socketIO {

        do! Socket.writeSocket "What is your name?"

        let! name = Socket.readSocket

        do! Socke.twriteSocket ("Hello " + name)

    }

    Socket.run 9000 socketExample |> Async.Start

```

These small snippets can be composed as well!

```fsharp

    let socketExample = socketIO {

        do! Socket.writeSocket "What is your name?"

        return! Socket.readSocket

    }

    let socketComposed = socketIO {

        let! name = Socket.socketExample

        do! Socket.writeSocket("Your name is " + name)

    }

    Socket.run 9000 socketComposed |> Async.Start

```

There is also the option to run the same computation with multiple connections:

```fsharp

    let socketExample = socketIO {

        do! Socket.writeSocket "What is your name?"

        let! name = Socket.readSocket

        do! Socket.writeSocket ("Hello " + name)

    }

    Async.Start(Socket.runParallel 9000 100 socketExample)

```
