This means that many subscribers will always listen + * on the same socket, thus saving resources. If however, two instances are made of `WebSocketSubject`, + * even if these two were provided with the same url, they will attempt to make separate + * connections. When consumer of a `WebSocketSubject` unsubscribes, socket connection is closed, + * only if there are no more subscribers still listening. If after some time a consumer starts + * subscribing again, connection is reestablished. + * + * Once connection is made, whenever a new message comes from the server, `WebSocketSubject` will emit that + * message as a value in the stream. By default, a message from the socket is parsed via `JSON.parse`. If you + * want to customize how deserialization is handled (if at all), you can provide custom `resultSelector` + * function in {@link WebSocketSubject}. When connection closes, stream will complete, provided it happened without + * any errors. If at any point (starting, maintaining or closing a connection) there is an error, + * stream will also error with whatever WebSocket API has thrown. + * + * By virtue of being a {@link Subject}, `WebSocketSubject` allows for receiving and sending messages from the server. In order + * to communicate with a connected endpoint, use `next`, `error` and `complete` methods. `next` sends a value to the server, so bear in mind + * that this value will not be serialized beforehand. Because of This, `JSON.stringify` will have to be called on a value by hand, + * before calling `next` with a result. Note also that if at the moment of nexting value + * there is no socket connection (for example no one is subscribing), those values will be buffered, and sent when connection + * is finally established. `complete` method closes socket connection. `error` does the same, + * as well as notifying the server that something went wrong via status code and string with details of what happened. + * Since status code is required in WebSocket API, `WebSocketSubject` does not allow, like regular `Subject`, + * arbitrary values being passed to the `error` method. It needs to be called with an object that has `code` + * property with status code number and optional `reason` property with string describing details + * of an error. + * + * Calling `next` does not affect subscribers of `WebSocketSubject` - they have no + * information that something was sent to the server (unless of course the server + * responds somehow to a message). On the other hand, since calling `complete` triggers + * an attempt to close socket connection. If that connection is closed without any errors, stream will + * complete, thus notifying all subscribers. And since calling `error` closes + * socket connection as well, just with a different status code for the server, if closing itself proceeds + * without errors, subscribed Observable will not error, as one might expect, but complete as usual. In both cases + * (calling `complete` or `error`), if process of closing socket connection results in some errors, *then* stream + * will error. + * + * **Multiplexing** + * + * `WebSocketSubject` has an additional operator, not found in other Subjects. It is called `multiplex` and it is + * used to simulate opening several socket connections, while in reality maintaining only one. + * For example, an application has both chat panel and real-time notifications about sport news. Since these are two distinct functions, + * it would make sense to have two separate connections for each. Perhaps there could even be two separate services with WebSocket + * endpoints, running on separate machines with only GUI combining them together. Having a socket connection + * for each functionality could become too resource expensive. It is a common pattern to have single + * WebSocket endpoint that acts as a gateway for the other services (in this case chat and sport news services). + * Even though there is a single connection in a client app, having the ability to manipulate streams as if it + * were two separate sockets is desirable. This eliminates manually registering and unregistering in a gateway for + * given service and filter out messages of interest. This is exactly what `multiplex` method is for. + * + * Method accepts three parameters. First two are functions returning subscription and unsubscription messages + * respectively. These are messages that will be sent to the server, whenever consumer of resulting Observable + * subscribes and unsubscribes. Server can use them to verify that some kind of messages should start or stop + * being forwarded to the client. In case of the above example application, after getting subscription message with proper identifier, + * gateway server can decide that it should connect to real sport news service and start forwarding messages from it. + * Note that both messages will be sent as returned by the functions, they are by default serialized using JSON.stringify, just + * as messages pushed via `next`. Also bear in mind that these messages will be sent on *every* subscription and + * unsubscription. This is potentially dangerous, because one consumer of an Observable may unsubscribe and the server + * might stop sending messages, since it got unsubscription message. This needs to be handled + * on the server or using {@link publish} on a Observable returned from 'multiplex'. + * + * Last argument to `multiplex` is a `messageFilter` function which should return a boolean. It is used to filter out messages + * sent by the server to only those that belong to simulated WebSocket stream. For example, server might mark these + * messages with some kind of string identifier on a message object and `messageFilter` would return `true` + * if there is such identifier on an object emitted by the socket. Messages which returns `false` in `messageFilter` are simply skipped, + * and are not passed down the stream. + * + * Return value of `multiplex` is an Observable with messages incoming from emulated socket connection. Note that this + * is not a `WebSocketSubject`, so calling `next` or `multiplex` again will fail. For pushing values to the + * server, use root `WebSocketSubject`. + * + * ## Examples + * + * Listening for messages from the server + * + * ```ts + * import { webSocket } from 'rxjs/webSocket'; + * + * const subject = webSocket('ws://localhost:8081'); + * + * subject.subscribe({ + * next: msg => console.log('message received: ' + msg), // Called whenever there is a message from the server. + * error: err => console.log(err), // Called if at any point WebSocket API signals some kind of error. + * complete: () => console.log('complete') // Called when connection is closed (for whatever reason). + * }); + * ``` + * + * Pushing messages to the server + * + * ```ts + * import { webSocket } from 'rxjs/webSocket'; + * + * const subject = webSocket('ws://localhost:8081'); + * + * subject.subscribe(); + * // Note that at least one consumer has to subscribe to the created subject - otherwise "nexted" values will be just buffered and not sent, + * // since no connection was established! + * + * subject.next({ message: 'some message' }); + * // This will send a message to the server once a connection is made. Remember value is serialized with JSON.stringify by default! + * + * subject.complete(); // Closes the connection. + * + * subject.error({ code: 4000, reason: 'I think our app just broke!' }); + * // Also closes the connection, but let's the server know that this closing is caused by some error. + * ``` + * + * Multiplexing WebSocket + * + * ```ts + * import { webSocket } from 'rxjs/webSocket'; + * + * const subject = webSocket('ws://localhost:8081'); + * + * const observableA = subject.multiplex( + * () => ({ subscribe: 'A' }), // When server gets this message, it will start sending messages for 'A'... + * () => ({ unsubscribe: 'A' }), // ...and when gets this one, it will stop. + * message => message.type === 'A' // If the function returns `true` message is passed down the stream. Skipped if the function returns false. + * ); + * + * const observableB = subject.multiplex( // And the same goes for 'B'. + * () => ({ subscribe: 'B' }), + * () => ({ unsubscribe: 'B' }), + * message => message.type === 'B' + * ); + * + * const subA = observableA.subscribe(messageForA => console.log(messageForA)); + * // At this moment WebSocket connection is established. Server gets '{"subscribe": "A"}' message and starts sending messages for 'A', + * // which we log here. + * + * const subB = observableB.subscribe(messageForB => console.log(messageForB)); + * // Since we already have a connection, we just send '{"subscribe": "B"}' message to the server. It starts sending messages for 'B', + * // which we log here. + * + * subB.unsubscribe(); + * // Message '{"unsubscribe": "B"}' is sent to the server, which stops sending 'B' messages. + * + * subA.unsubscribe(); + * // Message '{"unsubscribe": "A"}' makes the server stop sending messages for 'A'. Since there is no more subscribers to root Subject, + * // socket connection closes. + * ``` + * + * @param urlConfigOrSource The WebSocket endpoint as an url or an object with configuration and additional Observers. + * @return Subject which allows to both send and receive messages via WebSocket connection. + */ +export function webSocket<T>(urlConfigOrSource: string | WebSocketSubjectConfig<T>): WebSocketSubject<T> { + return new WebSocketSubject<T>(urlConfigOrSource); +} |
