Stuck on a jquery plugin [solved]

[kaotkbliss]

We have a small function we use in our server code to periodically send messages to a web page interface to notify the user of key steps in the process.

This is in the form of

function sendMsg(body, flag = null) {
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ body: body, flag: flag }));
}

where body is the information and the flag is the type of message

I'm trying to make the receiving of the messages a jQuery plugin and where I'm having an issue. It does all the processing it's supposed to do but I can't get it to return data back to the web page for me to grab.

//create websocket (endpoint as argument)
(function ( $ ) {
    $.MakeSocket = function( options ) {
        settings = $.extend({
            // These are the defaults.
            endpoint: '',
            data    : '',
            success : {},
            error   : {},
            open    : {},
            exit    : {}
        }, options );
        var wsURI;
        if (window.location.protocol === "https:") {
            wsURI = "wss:";
        } else {
            wsURI = "ws:";
        }
        wsURI += "//" + window.location.host;
        wsURI += window.location.pathname + settings.endpoint;
        
        var socket = new WebSocket(wsURI);
            socket.onopen = function() {
                settings.open = {body: null, flag: 'OPEN'};
            }
            socket.onmessage = function( event ) {
                var json = JSON.parse(event.data);

                if (json.flag === 'DATA') {
                    socket.send(JSON.stringify({
                        results : settings.data,
                        flag    : 'DATA',
                    }));
                } else if (json.flag === 'COMP') {
                    console.log('<Comp>', json);
                    settings.success = json;
                    socket.close();
                } else {
                    console.log('<Info>', json);
                    settings.success = json;
                    //callback( settings );
                };
            }
            socket.onerror = function(event) {
                settings.error = {body: event, flag: 'ERR'};
            }
            socket.onclose = function() {
                console.log('Close called');
                settings.exit = {body: null, flag: 'EXIT'};
            }   
        };
    };

}( jQuery ));

What this does is creates a websocket, then processes our message flags for the webpage

And we want to be able to call the websocket and message processing like so:

$.MakeSocket({
    endpoint    : "Process", 
    data        : data,
    success     : function (wsData) {
        console.log('<wsData>', wsData);
    }
});

so that we can perform functions based on if the result is a success, what type of success, error, ect. (Just like the ajax post method for jquery)

Problem is I can't seem to get any return value from the plugin to use in the webpage.

I just realized I had accidentally left in an extra }; towards the end of my plugin. Although that still doesn't change that I can't perform if/else loops or any other code in the web page based on the success return of the plugin

Talk about getting this in just under the wire. Right at closing time today.

I don't have the code on me, but I did manage to solve the issue
