An AngularJS 1.x WebSocket service for connecting client applications to servers.
You can download angular-websocket by:
- (prefered) Using bower and running
bower install angular-websocket --save - Using npm and running
npm install angular-websocket --save - Downloading it manually by clickinghere to download development unminified version
- CDN for development
https://cdn.rawgit.com/AngularClass/angular-websocket/v2.0.0/dist/angular-websocket.js - CDN for production

returns instance of $Websocket
| name | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|
| $websocket constructor | url:String | Creates and opens aWebSocket instance.var ws = $websocket('ws://foo'); |
| send | data:String,Object returns | Adds data to a queue, and attempts to send if socket is ready. Accepts string or object, and will stringify objects before sending to socket. |
| onMessage | callback:Function options{filter:String,RegExp, autoApply:Boolean=true} | Register a callback to be fired on every message received from the websocket, or optionally just when the message'sdata property matches the filter provided in the options object. Each message handled will safely call$rootScope.$digest() unlessautoApply is set to `false in the options. Callback gets called with aMessageEvent object. |
| onOpen | callback:Function | Function to be executed each time a socket connection is opened for this instance. |
| onClose | callback:Function | Function to be executed each time a socket connection is closed for this instance. |
| onError | callback:Function | Function to be executed each time a socket connection has an Error for this instance. |
| close | force:Boolean:optional | Close the underlying socket, as long as no data is still being sent from the client. Optionally force close, even if data is still being sent, by passingtrue as theforce parameter. To check if data is being sent, read the value ofsocket.bufferedAmount. |
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| socket | window.WebSocket | WebSocket instance. |
| sendQueue | Array | Queue ofsend calls to be made on socket when socket is able to receive data. List is populated by calls to thesend method, but this array can be spliced if data needs to be manually removed before it's been sent to a socket. Data is removed from the array after it's been sent to the socket. |
| onOpenCallbacks | Array | List of callbacks to be executed when the socket is opened, initially or on re-connection after broken connection. Callbacks should be added to this list through theonOpen method. |
| onMessageCallbacks | Array | List of callbacks to be executed when a message is received from the socket. Callbacks should be added via theonMessage method. |
| onErrorCallbacks | Array | List of callbacks to be executed when an error is received from the socket. Callbacks should be added via theonError method. |
| onCloseCallbacks | Array | List of callbacks to be executed when the socket is closed. Callbacks should be added via theonClose method. |
| readyState | Number:readonly | Returns either the readyState value from the underlying WebSocket instance, or a proprietary value representing the internal state of the lib, e.g. if the lib is in a state of re-connecting. |
| initialTimeout | Number | The initial timeout, should be set at the outer limits of expected response time for the service. For example, if your service responds in 1ms on average but in 10ms for 99% of requests, then set to 10ms. |
| maxTimeout | Number | Should be as low as possible to keep your customers happy, but high enough that the system can definitely handle requests from all clients at that sustained rate. |
This type is returned from thesend() instance method of $websocket, inherits from$q.defer().promise.
| name | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|
| cancel | Alias todeferred.reject(), allows preventing an unsent message from being sent to socket for any arbitrary reason. | |
| then | resolve:Function, reject:Function | Resolves when message has been passed to socket, presuming the socket has areadyState of 1. Rejects if the socket is hopelessly disconnected now or in the future (i.e. the library is no longer attempting to reconnect). All messages are immediately rejected when the library has determined that re-establishing a connection is unlikely. |
Similar tohttpBackend mock inAngularJS'sngMock module. You can usengWebSocketMock to mock a websocketserver in order to test your applications:
var$websocketBackend;beforeEach(angular.mock.module('ngWebSocket','ngWebSocketMock');beforeEach(inject(function(_$websocketBackend_){$websocketBackend=_$websocketBackend_;$websocketBackend.mock();$websocketBackend.expectConnect('ws://localhost:8080/api');$websocketBackend.expectSend({data:JSON.stringify({test:true})});}));
| name | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|
| flush | Executes all pending requests | |
| expectConnect | url:String | Specify the url of an expected WebSocket connection |
| expectClose | Expect "close" to be called on the WebSocket | |
| expectSend | msg:String | Expectation of send to be called, with required message |
| verifyNoOutstandingExpectation | Makes sure all expectations have been satisfied, should be called in afterEach | |
| verifyNoOutstandingRequest | Makes sure no requests are pending, should be called in afterEach |
- Q.: What if the browser doesn't support WebSockets?
- A.: This module will not help; it does not have a fallback story for browsers that do not support WebSockets. Please check your browser target supporthere and to include fallback support.
$ npm install$ bower install
$ npm test Run karma in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari
In the project root directory openindex.html in the example folder or browserify example
$ npm run dist Builds files with uglifyjs
