Description

Socket.IO for Haskell folks.

Synopsis

How to use this module

Note that most of the string literals below are of type Lazy Text. 

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Web.SocketIO

-- listens to port 4000
main = server 4000 $ do

    -- send something to the client
    emit "some event" ["hey"]

    -- ping-pong
    on "ping" $ do
        emit "pong" []

    -- do some IO
    on "Kim Jong-Un" $ liftIO launchMissile
        
    -- broadcast
    broadcast "UN" "North Korea is best Korea"

Running a standalone server

server :: Port -> HandlerM () -> IO ()Source

Run a socket.io application, build on top of Warp.

serverConfig :: Port -> Configuration -> HandlerM () -> IO ()Source

Run a socket.io application with configurations applied.

defaultConfig :: ConfigurationSource

Default configuration. 

 defaultConfig = Configuration
    {   transports = [XHRPolling]
    ,   logLevel = 2               
    ,   logTo = stderr        
    ,   header = [("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true")]      
    ,   heartbeats = True
    ,   closeTimeout = 60
    ,   heartbeatTimeout = 60
    ,   heartbeatInterval = 25
    ,   pollingDuration = 20
    }

You can override it like so: 

 myConfig = defaultConfig { logLevel = 0 }

Unless specified, the header will be modified to enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) like this. 

 header = 
    [   ("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", <origin-of-the-reqeust>)]      
    ,   ("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true")
    ]

-> m () 

Instances

class Publisher m whereSource

Sends events

Methods

emitSource

Arguments

:: EventName

name of event to trigger

-> [Text]

payload to carry with

-> m () 

Sends a message to the socket that starts it. 

 emit "launch" ["missile", "nuke"]

broadcastSource

Arguments

:: EventName

name of event to trigger

-> [Text]

payload to carry with

-> m () 

Sends a message to everybody except for the socket that starts it. 

 broadcast "hide" ["nukes coming!"]

Instances

reply :: CallbackM [Text]Source

Extracts payload carried by the event 

 on "echo" $ do
     payload <- reply
     liftIO $ print payload
     emit echo payload

getEventName :: CallbackM EventNameSource

Name of the event

class HasSessionID m whereSource

     liftIO $ print "client disconnected"

Types

data HandlerM a Source

Capable of both sending and receiving events.

Use liftIO if you wanna do some IO here.

Instances

data CallbackM a Source

Capable of only sending events.

Use liftIO if you wanna do some IO here.
