Net::WebSocket::Server::Connection(3p)

NAME
Net::WebSocket::Server::Connection - A WebSocket connection managed by Net::WebSocket::Server.

SYNOPSIS
Within the connect callback of a Net::WebSocket::Server,

    $conn->on(
        utf8 => sub {
            my ($conn, $msg) = @_;
            $conn->send_utf8($msg);
        },
    );

DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to a WebSocket connection including handshakes and sending / receiving messages. It is constructed by a running Net::WebSocket::Server and passed to the registered connect handler there for configuration.

CONSTRUCTION

"Net::WebSocket::Server::Connection->new(%opts)"
    Creates a new "Net::WebSocket::Server::Connection" object with the given configuration. This is typically done for you by Net::WebSocket::Server; you rarely need to construct your own explicitly. Takes the following parameters:

    "socket"
        The underlying IO::Socket-like object. Once set, this cannot be changed. Required.

    "server"
        The associated Net::WebSocket::Server object. Once set, this cannot be changed. Required.

    "nodelay"
        A boolean value indicating whether "TCP_NODELAY" should be set on the socket after the handshake is complete. Default 1. See nodelay().

    "max_send_size"
        The maximum size of an outgoing payload. Default "Protocol::WebSocket::Frame->new->{max_payload_size}".

        When building an outgoing message, this value is passed to new instances of Protocol::WebSocket::Frame as the "max_payload_size" parameter.

    "on_$event"
        The callback to invoke when the given $event occurs, such as "ready". See "EVENTS".

METHODS

"on(%events)"
        $connection->on(
            utf8 => sub { ... },
        ),

    Takes a list of "$event => $callback" pairs; $event names should not include an "on_" prefix. See "EVENTS".

"server()"
    Returns the associated Net::WebSocket::Server object.

"socket()"
    Returns the underlying socket object.

"is_ready()"
    Returns true if the connection is fully established and ready for data, or false if the connection is in the middle of the handshake process.

"ip()"
    Returns the connected remote IP as a string or '0.0.0.0' with no active connection.

"port()"
    Returns the connected remote port or 0 with no active connection. (This will be some high-numbered port chosen by the remote host; it can be useful during debugging to help humans tell apart connections from the same IP.)

"nodelay([$enable])"
    A boolean value indicating whether "TCP_NODELAY" should be set on the socket after the handshake is complete. If the handshake is already complete, immediately modifies the socket's "TCP_NODELAY" setting.

    This setting indicates to the operating system that small packets should not be delayed for bundling into fewer, larger packets, but should instead be sent immediately. While enabling this setting can incur additional strain on the network, it tends to be the desired behavior for WebSocket servers, so it is enabled by default.

"max_send_size([$size])"
    Sets the maximum allowed size of an outgoing payload. Returns the current or newly-set value.

    When building an outgoing message, this value is passed to new instances of Protocol::WebSocket::Frame as the "max_payload_size" parameter.

"disconnect($code, $reason)"
    Invokes the registered "disconnect" handler, sends a "close" packet with the given $code and $reason, and disconnects the socket.

"send_utf8($message)"
    Sends a "utf8" message with the given content. The message will be UTF8-encoded automatically.

"send_binary($message)"
    Sends a "binary" message with the given content.

"send($type, $raw_data)"
    Sends a message with the given type and content. Typically, one should use the send_utf8() and send_binary() methods instead.

"recv()"
    Attempts to read from the socket, invoking callbacks for any received messages. The associated Net::WebSocket::Server will call this automatically when data is ready to be read.

EVENTS
Attach a callback for an event by either passing "on_$event" parameters to the constructor or by passing $event parameters to the on() method.

"handshake($connection, $handshake)"
    Invoked when a handshake message has been received from the client; the $handshake parameter is the underlying Protocol::WebSocket::Handshake::Server object. Use this event to inspect the handshake origin, cookies, etc for validity. To abort the handshake process, call $connection->disconnect().

    For example:

        if ($handshake->req->origin ne $expected_origin) {
          $connection->disconnect();
          return;
        }

        if ($handshake->req->subprotocol ne $expected_subprotocol) {
          $connection->disconnect();
          return;
        }

"ready($connection)"
    Invoked when the handshake has been completed and the connection is ready to send and receive WebSocket messages. Use this event to perform any final initialization or for the earliest chance to send messages to the client.

"disconnect($connection, $code, $reason)"
    Invoked when the connection is disconnected for any reason. The $code and $reason, if any, are also provided. Use this event for last-minute cleanup of the connection, but by this point it may not be safe to assume that sent messages will be received.

"utf8($connection, $message)"
    Invoked when a "utf8" message is received from the client. The $message, if any, is decoded and provided.

"binary($connection, $message)"
    Invoked when a "binary" message is received from the client. The $message, if any, is provided.

"pong($connection, $message)"
    Invoked when a "pong" message is received from the client. The $message, if any, is provided. If the associated Net::WebSocket::Server object is configured with a nonzero silence_max, this event will also occur in response to the "ping" messages automatically sent to keep the connection alive.
