Gniazdo

Gniazdo is a WebSocket client for Clojure. Its main purpose is testing WebSockets services without a browser. It uses Jetty's implementation of the WebSocket protocol. It supports both ws:// and wss:// schemas.

Usage

Add the following artifact to :dependencies in your project.clj:

Here's a minimal usage example:

(require '[gniazdo.core :as ws])
(def socket
  (ws/connect
    "ws://example.org:1234/socket"
    :on-receive #(prn 'received %)))
(ws/send-msg socket "hello")
(ws/close socket)

(gniazdo.core/connect uri & options)

gniazdo.core/connect opens a WebSocket connection using a given uri. The following options/callbacks are available:

• :on-connect – a unary function called after the connection has been established. The handler is a Session instance.
• :on-receive – a unary function called when a message is received. The argument is a received String.
• :on-binary – a ternary function called when a message is received. Arguments are the raw payload byte array, and two integers: the offset in the array where the data starts and the length of the payload.
• :on-error – a unary function called on in case of errors. The argument is a Throwable describing the error.
• :on-close – a binary function called when the connection is closed. Arguments are an int status code and a String description of reason.
• :headers – a map of string keys and either string or string seq values to be used as headers for the initial websocket connection request.
• :client – an optional WebSocketClient instance to be used for connection establishment; by default, a new one is created internally on each call.
• :subprotocols – an optional sequence of Strings specifying the subprotocols to announce.
• :extensions – an optional sequence of Strings specifying protocol extensions.

gniazdo.core/connect returns an opaque representation of the connection.

See also WebSocketListener.

(gniazdo.core/send-msg [conn message])

gniazdo.core/send-msg sends a given message using a connection established with gniazdo.core/connect. The message should be a String, byte[] or java.nio.ByteBuffer.

(gniazdo.core/close [conn])

gniazdo.core/close closes a connection established with gniazdo.core/connect.

(gniazdo.core/client [] [uri])

gniazdo.core/client creates an instance of WebSocketClient, optionally based on the given URI. If secure WebSocket connections are desired, an SSL-capable instance will be created.

Note that the resulting client has to be started ((.start client)) before it can be used with gniazdo.core/connect.

In order to use an HTTP proxy configure an HttpClient and create an instance of WebSocketClient directly.
