| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Ellar integration with [python-socketio](https://python-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/){target="_blank"}, a library that enables real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication between the browser and the server. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## **Gateways** |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +A class annotated with `WebSocketGateway` decorator is like a controller that creates a compatibles with python-socketio, ellar and websocket. |
| 8 | +A gateway class also supports dependency injection and guards. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +```python |
| 11 | +from ellar.socket_io import WebSocketGateway |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/events-ws', name='event-gateway') |
| 15 | +class EventGateway: |
| 16 | + pass |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | +## **Installation** |
| 19 | +To start building Socket.IO webSockets-based applications, first install the required package: |
| 20 | +```shell |
| 21 | +$(venv) pip install python-socketio |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | +## **Overview** |
| 24 | +In general, each gateway is listening on the same port as the HTTP server and has a path `/socket.io` unless changed manually. |
| 25 | +This default behavior can be modified by passing an argument to the `@WebSocketGateway(path='/event-ws')`. |
| 26 | +You can also set a [namespace](https://socket.io/docs/v4/namespaces/) used by the gateway as shown below: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```python |
| 29 | +# project_name/events/gateway.py |
| 30 | +from ellar.socket_io import WebSocketGateway |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', namespace='events') |
| 34 | +class EventGateway: |
| 35 | + pass |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | +!!! warning |
| 38 | + Gateways are not instantiated until they are referenced in the `controllers` array of an existing module. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You can pass any supported [option](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-options/) to the socket constructor with the second argument to the `@WebSocketGateway()` decorator, as shown below: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```python |
| 43 | +# project_name/events/gateway.py |
| 44 | +from ellar.socket_io import WebSocketGateway, GatewayBase |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 48 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 49 | + pass |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The gateway is now listening, but we have not yet subscribed to any incoming messages. |
| 53 | +Let's create a handler that will subscribe to the `events` messages and respond to the user with the exact same data. |
| 54 | +```python |
| 55 | +# project_name/events/gateway.py |
| 56 | +from ellar.socket_io import WebSocketGateway, subscribe_message, GatewayBase |
| 57 | +from ellar.common import WsBody |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 61 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 62 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 63 | + async def handle_event(self, data: str = WsBody()): |
| 64 | + return data |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +You can also define schema for the data receive, for example: |
| 68 | +```python |
| 69 | +# project_name/events/gateway.py |
| 70 | +from ellar.socket_io import WebSocketGateway, subscribe_message, GatewayBase |
| 71 | +from ellar.common import WsBody |
| 72 | +from pydantic import BaseModel |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +class MessageBody(BaseModel): |
| 76 | + data: str |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 80 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 81 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 82 | + async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 83 | + return data.dict() |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Once the gateway is created, we can register it in our module. |
| 87 | +```python |
| 88 | +# project_name/events/module.py |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +from ellar.common import Module |
| 91 | +from .gateway import EventGateway |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +@Module(controllers=[EventGateway]) |
| 94 | +class EventsModule: |
| 95 | + pass |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +`WebSocketGateway` decorated class comes with a different **context** that providers extra information/access to `server`, `sid` and current message `environment`. |
| 100 | +```python |
| 101 | +from ellar.socket_io import GatewayBase |
| 102 | +from socketio import AsyncServer |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 106 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 107 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 108 | + async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 109 | + assert isinstance(self.context.server, AsyncServer) |
| 110 | + assert isinstance(self.context.sid, str) |
| 111 | + assert isinstance(self.context.environment, dict) |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + await self.context.server.emit('my_custom_event', data.dict(), room=None) |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +## **WsResponse** |
| 117 | +You may return a `WsResponse` object and supply two properties. The `event` which is a name of the emitted event and the `data` that has to be forwarded to the client. |
| 118 | +```python |
| 119 | +from ellar.socket_io import GatewayBase |
| 120 | +from ellar.socket_io import WsResponse |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 124 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 125 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 126 | + async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 127 | + return WsResponse('events', data.dict()) |
| 128 | +``` |
| 129 | +!!! hint |
| 130 | + The `WsResponse` class is imported from `ellar.socketio` package. And its has similar interface as `AsyncServer().emit` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +!!! warning |
| 133 | + If you return a response that is not a `WsResponse` object, ellar will assume handler as the `event` to emit the response. Or you can use `self.context.server.emit` to send the message back to the client. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +In order to listen for the incoming response(s), the client has to apply another event listener. |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +```javascript |
| 138 | +socket.on('events', (data) => console.log(data)); |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +## **Gateway Connection and Disconnection Handling** |
| 142 | +`on_connected` and `on_disconnected` can be used to define `on_connect` and `on_disconnect` handler in your gateway controller. |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +For example, |
| 145 | +```python |
| 146 | +from ellar.socket_io import GatewayBase, WebSocketGateway, subscribe_message, on_connected, on_disconnected |
| 147 | +from ellar.socket_io import WsResponse |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 151 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 152 | + @on_connected() |
| 153 | + async def connect(self): |
| 154 | + await self.context.server.emit( |
| 155 | + "my_response", {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, room=self.context.sid |
| 156 | + ) |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | + @on_disconnected() |
| 159 | + async def disconnect(self): |
| 160 | + print("Client disconnected") |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 163 | + async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 164 | + return WsResponse('events', data.dict()) |
| 165 | +``` |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +!!! info |
| 168 | + `@on_connected` and `@on_disconnected()` handlers doesn't take any argument because all its arguments are already available in the `self.context` |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## **Exceptions** |
| 172 | +All exceptions that happens on the server in a gateway controller after successful handshake between the server and client are sent to the client through `error` event. |
| 173 | +This is a standard practice when working socketio client. The client is required to subscribe to `error` event inorder to receive error message from the server. |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +for example: |
| 177 | +```python |
| 178 | +from ellar.socket_io import GatewayBase, WebSocketGateway, subscribe_message |
| 179 | +from ellar.common.exceptions import WebSocketException |
| 180 | +from starlette import status |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 184 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 185 | + @subscribe_message('events') |
| 186 | + async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 187 | + raise WebSocketException(status.WS_1009_MESSAGE_TOO_BIG, reason='Message is too big') |
| 188 | +``` |
| 189 | +When client sends message to `events`, an exception will be raised. And the client will receive the error message if it subscribed to `error` events. |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +For example: |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +```javascript |
| 194 | +const socket = io.connect() |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +socket.on('error', (error) => { |
| 197 | + console.error(error) |
| 198 | +}) |
| 199 | +``` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +## **Guards** |
| 202 | +There is no fundamental difference between web sockets guards and regular HTTP application guards. |
| 203 | +The only difference is that instead of throwing `HttpException`, you should use `WebSocketException` |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +!!! hint |
| 206 | + `WebSocketException` is an exception class located in `ellar.common.exceptions` |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +```python |
| 210 | +from ellar.common import Guards |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +... |
| 213 | +@Guards(MyCustomGuards) |
| 214 | +@subscribe_message('events') |
| 215 | +async def handle_event(self, data: MessageBody = WsBody()): |
| 216 | + return WsResponse('events', data.dict()) |
| 217 | +... |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +``` |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +`@Guards` can be applied at handler level as shown in the last construct or at class level as shown below: |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +```python |
| 224 | +... |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +@Guards(MyGuard) |
| 227 | +@WebSocketGateway(path='/socket.io', transports=['websocket']) |
| 228 | +class EventGateway(GatewayBase): |
| 229 | + @on_connected() |
| 230 | + async def connect(self): |
| 231 | + await self.context.server.emit( |
| 232 | + "my_response", {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, room=self.context.sid |
| 233 | + ) |
| 234 | + ... |
| 235 | +``` |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +## **Testing** |
| 238 | +Gateway can be unit tested just like regular ellar controllers. But for integration testing, a separate testing module, `TestGateway`, is needed |
| 239 | +to set up a socketio client to simulation activity between server and client. |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +!!! hint |
| 242 | + `TestGateway` class is located at `ellar.socket_io.testing` |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +For example: |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +```python |
| 247 | +@WebSocketGateway(path="/ws", async_mode="asgi", cors_allowed_origins="*") |
| 248 | +class EventGateway: |
| 249 | + @subscribe_message("my_event") |
| 250 | + async def my_event(self, message: MessageData = WsBody()): |
| 251 | + return WsResponse("my_response", {"data": message.data}, room=self.context.sid) |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | + @subscribe_message |
| 254 | + async def my_broadcast_event(self, message: MessageData = WsBody()): |
| 255 | + await self.context.server.emit("my_response", {"data": message.data}) |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | + @on_connected() |
| 258 | + async def connect(self): |
| 259 | + await self.context.server.emit( |
| 260 | + "my_response", {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, room=self.context.sid |
| 261 | + ) |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | + @on_disconnected() |
| 264 | + async def disconnect(self): |
| 265 | + print("Client disconnected") |
| 266 | +``` |
| 267 | +The above gateway construct integration testing can be done as shown below: |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +```python |
| 270 | +import pytest |
| 271 | +from ellar.socket_io.testing import TestGateway |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +@pytest.mark.asyncio |
| 274 | +class TestEventGateway: |
| 275 | + test_client = TestGateway.create_test_module(controllers=[EventGateway]) |

| 285 | + async def my_response(message): |
| 286 | + my_response_message.append(message) |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | + @ctx.sio.event |
| 289 | + async def disconnect(): |
| 290 | + nonlocal disconnected_called |
| 291 | + disconnected_called = True |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | + @ctx.sio.event |
| 294 | + async def connect(*args): |
| 295 | + nonlocal connected_called |
| 296 | + await ctx.sio.emit("my_event", {"data": "I'm connected!"}) |
| 297 | + connected_called = True |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | + await ctx.connect(socketio_path="/ws/") |
| 300 | + await ctx.wait() |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | + assert len(my_response_message) == 2 |
| 303 | + assert my_response_message == [ |
| 304 | + {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, |
| 305 | + {"data": "I'm connected!"}, |
| 306 | + ] |
| 307 | + assert disconnected_called and connected_called |
| 308 | + |
| 309 | + async def test_broadcast_work(self): |
| 310 | + sio_1_response_message = [] |
| 311 | + sio_2_response_message = [] |
| 312 | + |
| 313 | + async with self.test_client.run_with_server() as ctx: |
| 314 | + ctx_2 = ctx.new_socket_client_context() |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | + @ctx.sio.event |
| 317 | + async def my_response(message): |
| 318 | + sio_1_response_message.append(message) |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | + @ctx_2.sio.event |
| 321 | + async def my_response(message): |
| 322 | + sio_2_response_message.append(message) |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | + await ctx.connect(socketio_path="/ws/") |
| 325 | + await ctx_2.connect(socketio_path="/ws/") |
| 326 | + |
| 327 | + await ctx.sio.emit( |
| 328 | + "my_broadcast_event", {"data": "Testing Broadcast"} |
| 329 | + ) # both sio_1 and sio_2 would receive this message |
| 330 | + |
| 331 | + await ctx.wait() |
| 332 | + await ctx_2.wait() |
| 333 | + |
| 334 | + assert len(sio_1_response_message) == 2 |
| 335 | + assert sio_1_response_message == [ |
| 336 | + {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, |

| 339 | + |
| 340 | + assert len(sio_2_response_message) == 2 |
| 341 | + assert sio_2_response_message == [ |
| 342 | + {"data": "Connected", "count": 0}, |
| 343 | + {"data": "Testing Broadcast"}, |
| 344 | + ] |
| 345 | +``` |
| 346 | +`self.test_client.run_with_server()` setup a server and returns `RunWithServerContext` object. |
| 347 | +The `RunWithServerContext` contains a socket io client and created server url. |
| 348 | +And with the client(`sio`) returned, you can subscribe to events and send messages as shown in the above construct. |
| 349 | + |
| 350 | +!!! warning |
| 351 | + It is important to have all the event subscription written before calling `ctx.connect` |
| 352 | + |
| 353 | +Also, it is possible to test with more than one client as you can see in `test_broadcast_work` in construct above. |
| 354 | +We created another instance of **RunWithServerContext** as `ctx_2` from the already existing `ctx` with `ctx.new_socket_client_context()`. |
| 355 | +And both were used to test for message broadcast. |
| 356 | + |
| 357 | + |
| 358 | +## **SocketIO Ellar Example** |
| 359 | +[python-socketio](https://python-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/){target="_blank"} provided a sample project on how to integrate [python-socketio with django](https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio/blob/main/examples/server/wsgi). |
| 360 | +The sample project was converted to ellar gateway and it can find it [here]() |
