import SchemaInfo from '../../../../../components/SchemaInfo.astro';

The `net.tcp.client` module connects to TCP server and emits messages based on the data it receives from the server that it connects to. Messages are determined by "framing" techniques as TCP is a stream based protocol. The module will attempt to reconnect anytime the connection is closed.

<SchemaInfo type="module" id="net.tcp.client"></SchemaInfo>

### Example

Open a TCP connection to `127.0.0.1` port 8888, any incoming data will be split on line-feed (`\n`)

```yaml
- id: tcpClient
  type: net.tcp.client
  params:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 8888
    framing: LF
```
