This client provides following functionality
- Easy to setup and use
- Can be used for extensive unit-testing of all server side functions
- Support for emitting and listening to remote events
- Automatic reconnection
- Pub/sub
- Authentication (JWT)
- Support for python2.x.x / python3.x.x
To install use
sudo pip install socketclusterclientCreate instance of Socket class by passing url of socketcluster-server end-point
//Create a socket instance socket = Socketcluster.socket("ws://localhost:8000/socketcluster/") Important Note : Default url to socketcluster end-point is always ws://somedomainname.com/socketcluster/.
Different functions are given as an argument to register listeners
from socketclusterclient import Socketcluster import logging logging.basicConfig(format='%(levelname)s:%(message)s', level=logging.DEBUG) def onconnect(socket): logging.info("on connect got called") def ondisconnect(socket): logging.info("on disconnect got called") def onConnectError(socket, error): logging.info("On connect error got called") def onSetAuthentication(socket, token): logging.info("Token received " + token) socket.setAuthtoken(token) def onAuthentication(socket, isauthenticated): logging.info("Authenticated is " + str(isauthenticated)) if __name__ == "__main__": socket = Socketcluster.socket("ws://localhost:8000/socketcluster/") socket.setBasicListener(onconnect, ondisconnect, onConnectError) socket.setAuthenticationListener(onSetAuthentication, onAuthentication) socket.connect()- For connecting to server:
//This will send websocket handshake request to socketcluster-server socket.connect();- By default reconnection to server is disabled (since latest release) , to enable it and configure delay for connection
//This will set automatic-reconnection to server with delay of 2 seconds and repeating it for infinitely socket.setdelay(2) socket.setreconnection(True) socket.connect();- By default logging of messages in disabled (since latest release), to enable it
socket.enablelogger(True)- eventname is name of event and message can be String, boolean, int or JSON-object
socket.emit(eventname,message); # socket.emit("chat", "Hi")- To send event with acknowledgement
socket.emitack("chat", "Hi", ack) def ack(eventname, error, object): print "Got ack data " + object + " and error " + error + " and eventname is " + eventname- For listening to events :
The object received can be String, Boolean, Long or JSONObject.
# Receiver code without sending acknowledgement back socket.on("ping", message) def message(eventname, object): print "Got data " + object + " from eventname " + eventname- To send acknowledgement back to server
# Receiver code with ack socket.onack("ping", messsageack) def messsageack(eventname, object, ackmessage): print "Got data " + object + " from eventname " + eventname ackmessage("this is error", "this is data") - For creating and subscribing to channels:
# without acknowledgement socket.subscribe('yell') #with acknowledgement socket.subscribeack('yell', suback) def suback(channel, error, object): if error is '': print "Subscribed successfully to channel " + channel- For getting list of created channels :
channels = socket.getsubscribedchannels()- For publishing event :
# without acknowledgement socket.publish('yell', 'Hi dudies') #with acknowledgement socket.publishack('yell', 'Hi dudies', puback) def puback(channel, error, object): if error is '': print "Publish sent successfully to channel " + channel- For listening to channel event :
socket.onchannel('yell', channelmessage) def channelmessage(key, object): print "Got data " + object + " from key " + key # without acknowledgement socket.unsubscribe('yell') # with acknowledgement socket.unsubscribeack('yell', unsuback) def unsuback(channel, error, object): if error is '': print "Unsubscribed to channel " + channel socket = Socketcluster.socket("wss://localhost:8000/socketcluster/") socket.connect(sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})Support websocket access via http proxy. The proxy server must allow "CONNECT" method to websocket port. Default squid setting is "ALLOWED TO CONNECT ONLY HTTPS PORT".
socket = Socketcluster.socket("wss://localhost:8000/socketcluster/") socket.connect(http_proxy_host="proxy_host_name", http_proxy_port=3128)- To have custom settings over internal logger, you can get logger instance and apply necessary settings over it.
sclogger = socket.getlogger()Please follow logging tutorial over here : https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging-cookbook.html
