Adds support for upgrading HTTP1 connections to WebSocket.
Setup WebSocket upgrades with a closure that either returns .upgrade with response headers and the handler for the WebSocket or a .dontUpgrade
let app = Application(
router: router,
server: .http1WebSocketUpgrade { request, channel, logger in
// upgrade if request path is "/ws"
guard request.path == "/ws" else { return .dontUpgrade }
// The upgrade response includes the headers to include in the response and
// the WebSocket handler
return .upgrade([:]) { inbound, outbound, context in
for try await packet in inbound {
// send "Received" for every packet we receive
try await outbound.write(.text("Received"))
}
}
}
)
app.runService()Or alternatively use a Router. Using a router means you can add middleware to process the initial upgrade request before it is handled eg for authenticating the request.
let wsRouter = Router(context: BasicWebSocketRequestContext.self)
wsRouter.middlewares.add(BasicAuthenticator())
// An upgrade only occurs if a WebSocket path is matched
wsRouter.ws("/ws") { request, context in
// allow upgrade
.upgrade()
} onUpgrade: { inbound, outbound, context in
for try await packet in inbound {
// send "Received" for every packet we receive
try await outbound.write(.text("Received"))
}
}
let app = Application(
router: router,
server: .http1WebSocketUpgrade(webSocketRouter: wsRouter)
)
app.runService()You can find documentation for HummingbirdWebSocket here. The hummingbird-examples repository has a number of examples of different uses of the library.
