Channel sockets for Clojure/Script. Protocol | client>server | client>server ?+ ack/reply | server>user push * WebSockets: ✓ [1] ✓ * Ajax: [2] ✓ [3] [1] Emulate with cb-uuid wrapping [2] Emulate with dummy-cb wrapping [3] Emulate with long-polling Abbreviations: * chsk - Channel socket (Sente's own pseudo "socket") * server-ch - Underlying web server's async channel that implement Sente's server channel interface * sch - server-ch alias * uid - User-id. An application-level user identifier used for async push. May have semantic meaning (e.g. username, email address), may not (e.g. client/random id) - app's discretion. * cb - Callback * tout - Timeout * ws - WebSocket/s * pstr - Packed string. Arbitrary Clojure data serialized as a string (e.g. edn) for client<->server comms * udt - Unix timestamp (datetime long) Special messages: * Callback wrapping: [<clj> <?cb-uuid>] for [1], [2] * Callback replies: :chsk/closed, :chsk/timeout, :chsk/error * Client-side events: [:chsk/ws-ping] ; ws-ping from server [:chsk/handshake [<?uid> nil[4] <?handshake-data> <first-handshake?>]] [:chsk/state [<old-state-map> <new-state-map> <open-change?>]] [:chsk/recv <ev-as-pushed-from-server>] ; Server>user push * Server-side events: [:chsk/ws-ping] ; ws-ping from client [:chsk/ws-pong] ; ws-pong from client [:chsk/uidport-open <uid>] [:chsk/uidport-close <uid>] [:chsk/bad-package <packed-str>] [:chsk/bad-event <event>] Channel socket state map: :type - e/o #{:auto :ws :ajax} :open? - Truthy iff chsk appears to be open (connected) now :ever-opened? - Truthy iff chsk handshake has ever completed successfully :first-open? - Truthy iff chsk just completed first successful handshake :uid - User id provided by server on handshake, or nil :handshake-data - Arb user data provided by server on handshake :last-ws-error - ?{:udt _ :ev <WebSocket-on-error-event>} :last-ws-close - ?{:udt _ :ev <WebSocket-on-close-event> :clean? _ :code _ :reason _} :last-close - ?{:udt _ :reason _}, with reason e/o #{nil :clean :unexpected :requested-disconnect :requested-reconnect :downgrading-ws-to-ajax :ws-ping-timeout :ws-error} :udt-next-reconnect - Approximate udt of next scheduled auto-reconnect attempt Notable implementation details: * core.async is used liberally where brute-force core.async allows for significant implementation simplifications. We lean on core.async's efficiency here. * For WebSocket fallback we use long-polling rather than HTTP 1.1 streaming (chunked transfer encoding). Http-kit _does_ support chunked transfer encoding but a small minority of browsers &/or proxies do not. Instead of implementing all 3 modes (WebSockets, streaming, long-polling) - it seemed reasonable to focus on the two extremes (performance + compatibility). In any case client support for WebSockets is growing rapidly so fallback modes will become increasingly irrelevant while the extra simplicity will continue to pay dividends. General-use notes: * Single HTTP req+session persists over entire chsk session but cannot modify sessions! Use standard a/sync HTTP Ring req/resp for logins, etc. * Easy to wrap standard HTTP Ring resps for transport over chsks. Prefer this approach to modifying handlers (better portability). [4] Used to be a csrf-token. Was removed in v1.14 for security reasons. A `nil` remains for limited backwards-compatibility with pre-v1.14 clients.

Advanced option, most users can ignore this var. Only necessary for those that want to use Sente < v1.18 with a non-standard IPacker that deals with non-string payloads. Details: Sente uses a private message format as an implementation detail for client<->server comms. As part of [#398], this format is being updated to support non-string (e.g. binary) payloads. Unfortunately updating the format is non-trivial because: 1. Both the client & server need to support the same format. 2. Clients are often served as cached cl/js. To help ease migration, the new pack format is being rolled out in stages: Sente <= v1.16: reads v1 format only writes v1 format only Sente v1.17: reads v1 and v2 formats writes v1 and v2 formats (v1 default) Sente v1.18: reads v1 and v2 formats writes v1 and v2 formats (v2 default) <- Currently here Sente >= v1.19: reads v2 format only writes v2 format only This var controls which format to use for writing. Override default with `alter-var-root` or `binding`.
(allow-origin? allowed-origins ring-req)
Alpha, subject to change. Returns true iff given Ring request is allowed by `allowed-origins`. `allowed-origins` may be `:all` or #{<origin> ...}.
(assert-event x)
Returns given argument if it is a valid [ev-id ?ev-data] form. Otherwise throws a validation exception.
(chsk-break-connection! chsk)
(chsk-break-connection! chsk {:keys [close-ws?] :as opts :or {close-ws? true}})
Breaks channel socket's underlying connection without doing a clean disconnect as in `chsk-disconnect!`. Useful for simulating broken connections in testing, etc. Options: `:close-ws?` - (Default: true) Allow WebSocket's `on-close` event to fire? Set to falsey to ~simulate a broken socket that doesn't realise it's broken.
(chsk-reconnect! chsk)
Cycles connection, useful for reauthenticating after login/logout, etc.
(chsk-send! chsk ev)
(chsk-send! chsk ev opts)
(chsk-send! chsk ev ?timeout-ms ?cb)
Sends `[ev-id ev-?data :as event]`, returns true on apparent success.

You must have the necessary web-server dependency in your project.clj and the necessary entry in your namespace's `ns` form. [2] Optimization to allow transparent batching of rapidly-triggered server>user pushes. This is esp. important for Ajax clients which use a (slow) reconnecting poller. Actual event dispatch may occur <= given ms after send call (larger values => larger batch windows).

[{:as opts :keys [trace-evs? error-handler]}])
Creates a simple go-loop to call `(event-msg-handler <server-event-msg>)` and log any errors. Returns a `(fn stop! [])`. Note that advanced users may prefer to just write their own loop against `ch-recv`. Nb performance note: since your `event-msg-handler` fn will be executed within a simple go block, you'll want this fn to be ~non-blocking (you'll especially want to avoid blocking IO) to avoid starving the core.async thread pool under load. To avoid blocking, you can use futures, agents, core.async, etc. as appropriate.
