WebSocket

trait WebSocket[F[_]]

Effectful interactions with a web socket. Interactions can happen:

Effectful interactions with a web socket. Interactions can happen:

  • on the frame level, by sending and receiving raw WebSocketFrames
  • using the provided receive* methods to obtain concatenated data frames, or string/byte payloads, and the send* method to send string/binary frames.

The send* and receive* methods may result in a failed effect, with either one of WebSocketException exceptions, or a backend-specific exception. Specifically, they will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed.

See the either and eitherClose method to lift web socket closed events to the value level.

Value members

Abstract methods

def isOpen(): F[Boolean]

Receive the next frame from the web socket. This can be a data frame, or a control frame including WebSocketFrame.Close. After receiving a close frame, no further interactions with the web socket should happen.

Receive the next frame from the web socket. This can be a data frame, or a control frame including WebSocketFrame.Close. After receiving a close frame, no further interactions with the web socket should happen.

However, not all implementations expose the close frame, and web sockets might also get closed without the proper close frame exchange. In such cases, as well as when invoking receive/send after receiving a close frame, this effect will fail with the WebSocketClosed exception.

Should be only called sequentially! (from a single thread/fiber). Because web socket frames might be fragmented, calling this method concurrently might result in threads/fibers receiving fragments of the same frame.

def send(f: WebSocketFrame, isContinuation: Boolean): F[Unit]

Sends a web socket frame. Can be safely called from multiple threads.

Sends a web socket frame. Can be safely called from multiple threads.

May result in a failed effect, in case of a network error, or if the socket is closed.

Idempotent when used sequentially.

def either[T](f: => F[T]): F[Either[Option[Close], T]]

Returns an effect computing a:

Returns an effect computing a:

  • Left if the web socket is closed - optionally with the received close frame (if available).
  • Right with the original result otherwise.

Will never fail with a WebSocketClosed.

Value Params
f

The effect describing web socket interactions.

def eitherClose[T](f: => F[T]): F[Either[Close, T]]

Extracts the received close frame (if available) as the left side of an either, or returns the original result on the right.

Extracts the received close frame (if available) as the left side of an either, or returns the original result on the right.

Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, but no close frame is available.

Value Params
f

The effect describing web socket interactions.

def receiveBinary(pongOnPing: Boolean): F[Array[Byte]]

Receive a single binary message (which might come from multiple, fragmented frames). Ignores non-binary frames and returns combined results. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Receive a single binary message (which might come from multiple, fragmented frames). Ignores non-binary frames and returns combined results. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Should be only called sequentially! (from a single thread/fiber).

Value Params
pongOnPing

Should a WebSocketFrame.Pong be sent when a WebSocketFrame.Ping is received.

def receiveBinaryFrame(pongOnPing: Boolean): F[Binary]

Receive a single binary data frame, ignoring others. The frame might be a fragment. To receive whole messages, use receiveBinary. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Should be only called sequentially! (from a single thread/fiber).

Value Params
pongOnPing

Should a WebSocketFrame.Pong be sent when a WebSocketFrame.Ping is received.

def receiveDataFrame(pongOnPing: Boolean): F[Data[_]]

Receive a single data frame, ignoring others. The frame might be a fragment. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Receive a single data frame, ignoring others. The frame might be a fragment. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Should be only called sequentially! (from a single thread/fiber).

Value Params
pongOnPing

Should a WebSocketFrame.Pong be sent when a WebSocketFrame.Ping is received.

def receiveText(pongOnPing: Boolean): F[String]

Receive a single text message (which might come from multiple, fragmented frames). Ignores non-text frames and returns combined results. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Receive a single text message (which might come from multiple, fragmented frames). Ignores non-text frames and returns combined results. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.

Should be only called sequentially! (from a single thread/fiber).

Value Params
pongOnPing

Should a WebSocketFrame.Pong be sent when a WebSocketFrame.Ping is received.

def receiveTextFrame(pongOnPing: Boolean): F[Text]

Receive a single text data frame, ignoring others. The frame might be a fragment. To receive whole messages, use receiveText. Will fail with WebSocketClosed if the web socket is closed, or if a close frame is received.
