# socks examples
## Example for SOCKS 'connect' command
The connect command is the most common use-case for a SOCKS proxy. This establishes a direct connection to a destination host through a proxy server. The destination host only has knowledge of the proxy server connecting to it and does not know about the origin client (you).
**Origin Client (you) <-> Proxy Server <-> Destination Server**
In this example, we are connecting to a web server on port 80, and sending a very basic HTTP request to receive a response. It's worth noting that there are many socks-http-agents that can be used with the node http module (and libraries such as request.js) to make this easier. This HTTP request is used as a simple example.
The 'connect' command can be used via the SocksClient.createConnection() factory function as well as by creating a SocksClient instance and using event handlers.
### Using createConnection with async/await
Since SocksClient.createConnection returns a Promise, we can easily use async/await for flow control.
```typescript
const SocksClient = require('socks').SocksClient;
const options = {
proxy: {
host: '104.131.124.203',
port: 1081,
type: 5
},
destination: {
host: 'ip-api.com', // host names are supported with SOCKS v4a and SOCKS v5.
port: 80
},
command: 'connect'
};
async function start() {
try {
const info = await SocksClient.createConnection(options);
console.log(info.socket);
// <Socket ...> (this is a raw net.Socket that is established to the destination host through the given proxy servers)
info.socket.write('GET /json HTTP/1.1\nHost: ip-api.com\n\n');
info.socket.on('data', (data) => {
console.log(data.toString()); // ip-api.com sees that the last proxy (104.131.124.203) is connected to it and not the origin client (you).

### Using createConnection with Promises
```typescript
const SocksClient = require('socks').SocksClient;
const options = {
proxy: {
ipaddress: '104.131.124.203',
port: 1081,
type: 5
},
destination: {
host: 'ip-api.com', // host names are supported with SOCKS v4a and SOCKS v5.
port: 80
},
command: 'connect'
};
SocksClient.createConnection(options)
.then(info => {
console.log(info.socket);
// <Socket ...> (this is a raw net.Socket that is established to the destination host through the given proxy servers)
info.socket.write('GET /json HTTP/1.1\nHost: ip-api.com\n\n');
info.socket.on('data', (data) => {
console.log(data.toString()); // ip-api.com sees that the last proxy (104.131.124.203) is connected to it and not the origin client (you).

*/
})
.catch(err => {
// handle errors
});
```
### Using createConnection with callbacks
SocksClient.createConnection() optionally accepts a callback function as a second parameter.
**Note:** If a callback function is provided, a Promise is still returned from the function, but the promise will always resolve regardless of if there was en error. (tldr: Do not mix callbacks and Promises).
```typescript
const SocksClient = require('socks').SocksClient;
const options = {
proxy: {
ipaddress: '104.131.124.203',
port: 1081,
type: 5
},
destination: {
host: 'ip-api.com', // host names are supported with SOCKS v4a and SOCKS v5.
port: 80
},
command: 'connect'
};
SocksClient.createConnection(options, (err, info) => {
if (err) {
// handle errors
} else {
console.log(info.socket);
// <Socket ...> (this is a raw net.Socket that is established to the destination host through the given proxy servers)
info.socket.write('GET /json HTTP/1.1\nHost: ip-api.com\n\n');
info.socket.on('data', (data) => {
console.log(data.toString()); // ip-api.com sees that the last proxy (104.131.124.203) is connected to it and not the origin client (you).

}
*/
}
})
```
### Using event handlers
SocksClient also supports instance creation of a SocksClient. This allows for event based flow control.
```typescript
const SocksClient = require('socks').SocksClient;
const options = {
proxy: {
ipaddress: '104.131.124.203',
port: 1081,
type: 5
},
destination: {
host: 'ip-api.com', // host names are supported with SOCKS v4a and SOCKS v5.
port: 80
},
command: 'connect'
};
const client = new SocksClient(options);
client.on('established', (info) => {
console.log(info.socket);
// <Socket ...> (this is a raw net.Socket that is established to the destination host through the given proxy servers)
info.socket.write('GET /json HTTP/1.1\nHost: ip-api.com\n\n');
info.socket.on('data', (data) => {
console.log(data.toString()); // ip-api.com sees that the last proxy (104.131.124.203) is connected to it and not the origin client (you).

}
*/
});
// Failed to establish proxy connection to destination.
client.on('error', () => {
// Handle errors
});
```
