# angel_websocket
WebSocket plugin for Angel.
This plugin broadcasts events from hooked services via WebSockets.
In addition,
it adds itself to the app's IoC container as `AngelWebSocket`, so that it can be used
in controllers as well.
WebSocket contexts are add to `req.params` as `'socket'`.
# Usage
**Server-side**
```dart
import "package:angel_framework/angel_framework.dart";
import "package:angel_websocket/server.dart";
main() async {
var app = new Angel();
await app.configure(new AngelWebSocket("/ws"));
}
```
**Adding Handlers within a Controller**
`WebSocketController` extends a normal `Controller`, but also listens to WebSockets.
```dart
import 'dart:async';
import "package:angel_framework/angel_framework.dart";
import "package:angel_websocket/server.dart";
@Expose("/")
class MyController extends WebSocketController {
@override
void onConnect(WebSocketContext socket) {
// On connect...
}
// Dependency injection works, too..
@ExposeWs("read_message")
void sendMessage(WebSocketContext socket, Db db) async {
socket.send("found_message", db.collection("messages").findOne(where.id("...")));
}
}
```
**In the Browser**
```dart
import "package:angel_websocket/browser.dart";
main() async {
Angel app = new WebSocketClient("/ws");
var Cars = app.service("api/cars");
Cars.onCreated.listen((e) => print("New car: ${e.data}"));
// Happens asynchronously
Cars.create({"brand": "Toyota"});
}
```
**CLI Client**
```dart
import "package:angel_framework/angel_framework" as srv;
import "package:angel_websocket/browser.dart";
// You can include these in a shared file and access on both client and server
class Car extends srv.Model {
int year;
String brand, make;
Car({this.year, this.brand, this.make});
@override String toString() => "$year $brand $make";
}
main() async {
Angel app = new WebSocketClient("/ws");
// Wait for WebSocket connection...
await app.connect();
var Cars = app.service("api/cars", type: Car);
Cars.onCreated.listen((e) {
// Automatically deserialized into a car :)
Car car = e.data;
// I just bought a new 2016 Toyota Camry!
print("I just bought a new $car!");
});
// Happens asynchronously
Cars.create({"year": 2016, "brand": "Toyota", "make": "Camry"});
}
```
