stream-reconnect

This crate provides a Stream/Sink-wrapping struct that automatically recover from potential disconnections/interruptions.

This is a fork of stubborn-io, which is built for the same purpose but for AsyncRead/AsyncWrite.

To use with your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

stream-reconnect = "0.3"

Minimum supported rust version: 1.43.1

Runtime Support

This crate supports both tokio and async-std runtime.

tokio support is enabled by default. While used on an async-std runtime, change the corresponding dependency in Cargo.toml to

stream-reconnect = { version = "0.3", default-features = false, features = ["async-std"] }

Example

In this example, we will see a drop in replacement for tungstenite's WebSocketStream, with the distinction that it will automatically attempt to reconnect in the face of connectivity failures.

struct MyWs(WebSocketStream<MaybeTlsStream<TcpStream>>);

// implement Stream & Sink for MyWs

impl UnderlyingStream<String, Message, WsError> for MyWs {
    // Establishes connection.
    // Additionally, this will be used when reconnect tries are attempted.
    fn establish(addr: String) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output=Result<Self, WsError>> + Send>> {
        Box::pin(async move {
            // In this case, we are trying to connect to the WebSocket endpoint
            let ws_connection = connect_async(addr).await.unwrap().0;
            Ok(MyWs(ws_connection))
        })
    }

    // The following errors are considered disconnect errors.
    fn is_write_disconnect_error(&self, err: &WsError) -> bool {
        matches!(
                err,
                WsError::ConnectionClosed
                    | WsError::AlreadyClosed
                    | WsError::Io(_)
                    | WsError::Tls(_)
                    | WsError::Protocol(_)
            )
    }

    // If an `Err` is read, then there might be an disconnection.
    fn is_read_disconnect_error(&self, item: &Result<Message, WsError>) -> bool {
        if let Err(e) = item {
            self.is_write_disconnect_error(e)
        } else {
            false
        }
    }

    // Return "Exhausted" if all retry attempts are failed.
    fn exhaust_err() -> WsError {
        WsError::Io(io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, "Exhausted"))
    }
}

type ReconnectWs = ReconnectStream<MyWs, String, Result<Message, WsError>, WsError>;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut ws_stream: ReconnectWs = ReconnectWs::connect(String::from("wss://localhost:8000"));
    ws_stream.send("hello world!").await.unwrap();
}
