Struct actix_web_actors::ws::WsResponseBuilder

pub struct WsResponseBuilder<'a, A, T>where
    A: Actor<Context = WebsocketContext<A>> + StreamHandler<Result<Message, ProtocolError>>,
    T: Stream<Item = Result<Bytes, PayloadError>> + 'static,{ /* private fields */ }

Builder for Websocket session response.

Examples

#[get("/ws")]
async fn websocket(req: HttpRequest, stream: web::Payload) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
    ws::WsResponseBuilder::new(MyWs, &req, stream).start()
}

const MAX_FRAME_SIZE: usize = 16_384; // 16KiB

#[get("/custom-ws")]
async fn custom_websocket(req: HttpRequest, stream: web::Payload) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
    // Create a Websocket session with a specific max frame size, codec, and protocols.
    ws::WsResponseBuilder::new(MyWs, &req, stream)
        .codec(actix_http::ws::Codec::new())
        // This will overwrite the codec's max frame-size
        .frame_size(MAX_FRAME_SIZE)
        .protocols(&["A", "B"])
        .start()
}

Implementations

impl<'a, A, T> WsResponseBuilder<'a, A, T>where
    A: Actor<Context = WebsocketContext<A>> + StreamHandler<Result<Message, ProtocolError>>,
    T: Stream<Item = Result<Bytes, PayloadError>> + 'static,

pub fn new(actor: A, req: &'a HttpRequest, stream: T) -> Self

Construct a new WsResponseBuilder with actor, request, and payload stream.

For usage example, see docs on WsResponseBuilder struct.

pub fn protocols(self, protocols: &'a [&'a str]) -> Self

Set the protocols for the session.

pub fn frame_size(self, frame_size: usize) -> Self

Set the max frame size for each message (in bytes).

Note: This will override any given Codec’s max frame size.

pub fn codec(self, codec: Codec) -> Self

Set the Codec for the session. If Self::frame_size is also set, the given Codec’s max frame size will be overridden.

pub fn start(self) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error>

Perform WebSocket handshake and start actor.

req is an HttpRequest that should be requesting a websocket protocol change. stream should be a Bytes stream (such as actix_web::web::Payload) that contains a stream of the body request.

If there is a problem with the handshake, an error is returned.

If successful, consume the WsResponseBuilder and return a HttpResponse wrapped in a Result.

pub fn start_with_addr(self) -> Result<(Addr<A>, HttpResponse), Error>

Perform WebSocket handshake and start actor.

req is an HttpRequest that should be requesting a websocket protocol change. stream should be a Bytes stream (such as actix_web::web::Payload) that contains a stream of the body request.

If there is a problem with the handshake, an error is returned.

If successful, returns a pair where the first item is an address for the created actor and the second item is the HttpResponse that should be returned from the websocket request.
