## 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).
 |

      {

						|
        "as":"AS14061 Digital Ocean, Inc.",
 | 
						|
        "city":"Clifton",

 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
.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
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
``` |
