New development

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

Install

npm install nodefix

Test {Server,Client}

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.

API

###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
