ao-concepts websockets module

This module provides a websocket handler for usage with fiber. The handler is a abstraction layer that makes the handling of websocket messages easier.

Information

The ao-concepts ecosystem is still under active development and therefore the API of this module may have breaking changes until there is a first stable release.

If you are interested in contributing to this project, feel free to open a issue to discus a new feature, enhancement or improvement. If you found a bug or security vulnerability in this package, please start a issue, or open a PR against master.

Installation

go get -u github.com/ao-concepts/websockets

Usage

log := logging.New(logging.Debug, nil)
server, err := websockets.New(nil, log)
if err != nil {
    log.ErrFatal(err)
}

// batch sent messages. This can be used to reduce load on clients.
// Batched message will be prefixed by `batch_`.
// The data will be stored as array of batched payloads below the `d` property of the actual sent message.
if err := server.UseBatch("event:name", time.Second); err != nil {
	log.ErrError(err)
}

server.Subscribe("event:name", func(msg *websockets.Message) {
    // here you can handle the message
    c := msg.Connection

    // access the payload
    fmt.Println(msg.Payload["value"])

    // you can set data to the current session
    c.Set("key", "value")
    c.Get("key")

    // you can respond directly on the connection that received the message.
    c.SendMessage(&websockets.Message{
        Event:   "event:name",
        Payload: websockets.Payload{
            "value": "data",
        },
    })

    // and you can respond to all connections that match a filter.
    c.SendMessage(&websockets.Message{
        Event:   "event:name",
        Payload: websockets.Payload{
            "value": "data",
        },
    }, func (c *websockets.Connection) bool {
        return c.Get("key") == true
    })
})

app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/ws", s.Handler)
app.Listen(":3000")
