Introduction

Writing a real-time WebSocket server that works across different WebSocket runtimes is challenging because there is no single standard for WebSocket servers. You usually need to learn a lot of details about different API implementations, which also makes switching from one runtime to another expensive. Spry WebSocket is the solution to this problem!

Basic using...

import 'package:spry/websocket.dart';

app.ws('/chat/rooms/:id', chatRoomHooks);

Platform runtime

package:spry/websocket.dart exports a mixin for WebSocketPlatform<T, R> that only works on Platform<T, R>.

If the platform implementation you are using does not implement 'WebSocketPlatform', then your app will not support WebSockets.

app.ws

This is a method for extending the Spry app instance to register WebSocket Hooks:

class ChatHooks implements Hooks {
    ...
}

app.ws('chat', ChatHooks());
