How to log the websocket traffic data through node http-proxy

Question

I want to proxy websockets through http-proxy, I can log the receive data, but I can't get the send data from the proxy. how can I do ?

#!/usr/bin/env node

var wstarget = 'ws://localhost:8080/?r='+(Date.now() / 1000 | 0);

var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
var http = require('http');

var proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({});

proxy.on('open', function (proxySocket) {
 proxySocket.on('data', function (data) {
    //console.log('\n'+data);
    console.log('',data);  // Just log the receive data! Can't get the Send data?
 });
});

var server = http.createServer();

server.on('upgrade', function (req, socket, head) {
  console.log("Proxying websocket connection to "+wstarget);
  proxy.ws(req, socket, head, {
   target: wstarget,
   changeOrigin: true,
   ws: true});
});

server.listen(8881);

I found the answer !

 ...

 var WsParser = require('simples/lib/parsers/ws'); // npm install simples

 proxy.on('open', function (proxySocket) {
 proxySocket.on('data', function (data) {
    console.log('Down:'+data);
    console.log('',data);
 });

});

proxy.on('proxyReqWs', function(proxyReq, req, socket, options, head) {

    var parser = new WsParser(0, false);

    socket.pipe(parser);

    parser.on('frame', function (frame) {
      // handle the frame
      console.log('Up:',frame);
      console.log('Up data:'+frame.data);
      /*
        The structure of a frame:
        {
          data: buffer,
          fin: boolean,
          length: int,
          masked: boolean,
          opcode: int
        }
      */
    });

});

Hi, Can we get the data sent along handshake as well before proxying websocket request?

here with using ws lib instead of simples

const {Receiver} = require('ws');
const server = require('http').createServer().listen(3000);
const proxy = require('http-proxy').createProxyServer({ws: true});

server.on('upgrade', function (req, socket, head) {
    proxy.ws(req, socket, head);

    proxy.on('proxySocket', function (socket) {
        const r = new Receiver();

        r.on('message', (msg) => {
            console.log('message', msg.toString());
        });

        socket.pipe(r);
    });
});
