elm package install RGBboy/websocket-server
To install the node part of this library run:
npm install elm-websocket-server
Usage
See the example folder for a working version.
To get this working run:
npm install
npm run build:example
npm run start:example
Then go to localhost:8080 in multiple browser windows.
Example Elm Server Program
port module Server exposing (..) import Platform exposing (Program)import Json.Decode as Decode exposing (Decoder)import Json.Encode as Encodeimport WebSocketServer as WSS exposing (Socket, sendToOne, sendToMany) main : Program Never Model Msgmain = Platform.program { init = ([], Cmd.none) , update = update , subscriptions = subscriptions } -- PORTS port inputPort : (Decode.Value -> msg) -> Sub msgport outputPort : Encode.Value -> Cmd msg -- MODEL type alias Model = List WSS.Socket -- UPDATE type Msg = Connection WSS.Socket | Disconnection WSS.Socket | Message String | Noop update : Msg -> Model -> (Model, Cmd msg)update message model = case (Debug.log "Msg" message) of Connection socket -> ( socket :: model , Cmd.none ) Disconnection socket -> ( List.filter ((/=) socket) model , Cmd.none ) Message message -> ( model , WSS.sendToMany outputPort message model |> Cmd.batch ) Noop -> (model, Cmd.none) -- SUBSCRIPTIONS decodeMsg : Decode.Value -> MsgdecodeMsg value = let decoder = WSS.eventDecoder { onConnection = (\socket _ -> Connection socket) , onDisconnection = (\socket _ -> Disconnection socket) , onMessage = (\_ _ message -> Message message) } in Decode.decodeValue decoder value |> Result.withDefault Noop subscriptions : Model -> Sub Msgsubscriptions model = inputPort decodeMsg
Example Usage in Node.js
The node API for this is quite simple:
var port = processenvPORT || 8080 server = WebSocketServer = app = Main wss = server appportsinputPort appportsoutputPort ; server; console;
Development
Run npm install
then elm package install
.
Tests
Run npm t
.
