An implementation of the FIX protocol (Financial Information Exchange).
Currently the implementation is pre-beta.
New development is being done on https://github.com/falconair/fix.js. This codebase turned out to be over-engineered. fix.js is much simpler, but its infrastructure is not as developed (package file, 'npm install ...' system, tests, etc.)
Some code from fix.js (similar to this project) is also driving a web app to parse fix protocol messages at http://fixparser.targetcompid.com
npm install nodefix
You can run a test server:
node testFIXServer.js
then a test client, too:
node testFIXClient.js
Both programs should start communicating with each other. Wait a few seconds to see heart-beat messages fly by.
###Server:
var fix = require('fix');
var opt = {};
var server = fix.createServer(opt, function(session){
session.on("logon", function(sender, target){ console.log("EVENT logon: "+ sender + ", " + target); });
session.on("incomingmsg", function(sender,target,msg){ console.log("Server incomingmsg: "+ JSON.stringify(msg)); });
session.on("outgoingmsg", function(sender,target,msg){ console.log("Server outgoingmsg: "+ JSON.stringify(msg)); });
});
server.listen(1234, "localhost", function(){});Server events:
- newacceptor (port)
- Triggered on new connections from clients
Server methods:
- write(sessionID, data)
- Converts an associative array to a FIX message and sends it to the counter party with given comp ID
- logoff(sessionID, reason)
- Logs off a given comp ID
- kill(sessionID, reason)
- Ends connection of a given comp ID, without logging off
###Client:
var fix = require('fix');
var opt = {};
var client = fix.createClient("FIX.4.2", "initiator", "acceptor",opt);
client.connectAndLogon(1234,"localhost");
client.on("connect", function(){ console.log("EVENT connect"); });
client.on("end", function(){ console.log("EVENT end"); });
client.on("logon", function(sender, target){ console.log("EVENT logon: "+ sender + ", " + target); });
client.on("logoff", function(sender, target){ console.log("EVENT logoff: "+ sender + ", " + target); });
client.on("incomingmsg", function(sender,target,msg){ console.log("EVENT incomingmsg: "+ JSON.stringify(msg)); });
client.on("outgoingmsg", function(sender,target,msg){ console.log("EVENT outgoingmsg: "+ JSON.stringify(msg)); });Client events:
- newclient (version, sender, target, port, host)
- Triggered on new connections to servers
Client methods:
- write(data)
- Converts an associative array to a FIX message and sends it to the counter party
- logoff(reason)
- Logs off connection
- kill(reason)
- Ends connection without logging off
###Common: Events commons to servers and clients:
- connect (host, port, 'initiator' or 'acceptor')
- Triggered on new connections
- end (sender, target)
- Triggered when connections end
- error (err)
- Triggered on error
- logon (sender, target)
- Triggered when new client completes logon
- incomingmsg (sender, target, msg)
- Triggered on messages coming over the network
- outgoingmsg (sender, target, msg)
- Triggered on messages going out to the network
- incomingresync (sender, target, msg)
- Triggered on messages coming over the network, which may have already been processed. Should not matter other than on re-connections
- outgoingresync (sender, target, msg)
- Triggered on messages going out to the network, which may have already been processed. Should not matter other than on re-connections
- Groups
- Encryption
- Make sure ./traffic directory exists
