WebSockets support in AdonisJS

[thetutlage]

Discussion thread for WebSockets support.

import Ws from '@ioc:Adonis/Addons/Ws'

Ws.on('message', ({ socket }, data) => {
  socket.emit('received')
})

Ws.on('typing', 'PresenceController.typing')

// Using namespaces
Ws
 .namespace('updates')
 .on('project:added', 'ProjectsController.store')

// Dynamic namespaces
Ws
 .namespace('updates/:id')
 .on('project:added', ({ params }) => {
 	// namespace params
 	console.log(params.id)
 })

@thetutlage Excellent! Can you add middleware support?

[RomainLanz]

It is already inside the proposal.

This is a much appreciated feature
Do you plan to support SocketIO 4.x, with features like inter-server communication?

I have one of these needs for one of my clients and it is super useful.

Can't wait for this to release! I notice that the IoC import is Adonis/Addons, will there be more addon packages like this in the future?

[droutin]

Is there Release date?

[tianjos]

any updates?

We've got a straightforward cookbook in our documentation that covers using WebSockets with socket.io.

Check it out here 👉🏻 https://docs.adonisjs.com/cookbooks/socketio-with-adonisjs

In our upcoming V6 documentation, we'll be adding another guide specifically for uWS. Plus, don't forget that we offer built-in support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) as well.
