websocket

I wanted a more concise WebSocket interface than what Gorilla provides out of the box, so I wrote this package.

Usage

The main entry point for this package is the ServeWS function, which returns an http.HandlerFunc that will upgrade client connections and subsequently handle reading from and writing to the client. The caller simply needs to supply zero or more callback functions that are invoked on every message received from the client.

Interfaces

There are two interfaces: Client and Manager. The package provides example implementations, but consumers are free to implement their own.

Client functions as a middleman between your service and client websocket connection. It is responsible for reading (writing) messages from (to) the client and invoking the callbacks on the client messages, which are assumed to be of type []byte.

Manager is a convenience interface for managing N client connections; the example implementation simply stores them in a map. There's also a Broadcaster type that implements the Manager interface and allows you to broadcast a message to all clients.

Usage

See the tests for example usage.
