Crate trillium_websockets

Expand description

A websocket trillium handler

There are three primary ways to use this crate

With an async function that receives a `WebSocketConn`

This is the simplest way to use trillium websockets, but does not provide any of the affordances that implementing the WebSocketHandler trait does. It is best for very simple websockets or for usages that require moving the WebSocketConn elsewhere in an application. The WebSocketConn is fully owned at this point, and will disconnect when dropped, not when the async function passed to websocket completes.

use futures_lite::stream::StreamExt;
use trillium_websockets::{Message, WebSocketConn, websocket};

let handler = websocket(|mut conn: WebSocketConn| async move {
    while let Some(Ok(Message::Text(input))) = conn.next().await {
        conn.send_string(format!("received your message: {}", &input)).await;
    }
});

Implementing `WebSocketHandler`

WebSocketHandler provides support for sending outbound messages as a stream, and simplifies common patterns like executing async code on received messages.

Using `JsonWebSocketHandler`

JsonWebSocketHandler provides a thin serialization and deserialization layer on top of WebSocketHandler for this common use case. See the JsonWebSocketHandler documentation for example usage. In order to use this trait, the json cargo feature must be enabled.
