NAME Mojo::WebSocketProxy - WebSocket proxy for JSON-RPC 2.0 server SYNOPSIS # lib/your-application.pm use parent 'Mojolicious'; sub startup { my $self = shift; $self->plugin( 'web_socket_proxy' => { actions => [ ['json_key', {some_param => 'some_value'}] ], base_path => '/api', url => 'http://rpc-host.com:8080/', } ); } Or to manually call RPC server: # lib/your-application.pm use parent 'Mojolicious'; sub startup { my $self = shift; $self->plugin( 'web_socket_proxy' => { actions => [ [ 'json_key', { instead_of_forward => sub { shift->call_rpc({ args => [ qw(args here) ], method => 'json_key', # it'll call 'http://rpc-host.com:8080/json_key' rpc_response_cb => sub {...} }); } } ] ], base_path => '/api', url => 'http://rpc-host.com:8080/', } ); } DESCRIPTION Using this module you can forward WebSocket-JSON requests to RPC server. For every message it creates separate hash ref storage, which is available from hooks as $req_storage. Request storage have RPC call parameters in $req_storage->{call_params}. It copies message args to $req_storage->{call_params}->{args}. You can use Mojolicious stash to store data between messages in one connection. Proxy responses The plugin sends websocket messages to client with RPC response data. If RPC reponse looks like this: {status => 1} It returns simple response like this: {$msg_type => 1, msg_type => $msg_type} If RPC returns something like this: { response_data => [..], status => 1, } Plugin returns common response like this: { $msg_type => $rpc_response, msg_type => $msg_type, } You can customize ws proxy response using 'response' hook. Plugin parameters The plugin understands the following parameters. actions A reference to array of action details, which contain stash_params, request-response callbacks, other call parameters. $self->plugin( 'web_socket_proxy' => { actions => [ ['action1_json_key', {details_key1 => details_value1}], ['action2_json_key'] ] }); backends An optional reference to a hash of alternate backends to pick for certain RPC calls. Hash keys are names of backends, and values are themselves hash references containing backend parameters. Currently only the url key is supported. backends => { server2 => {url => "http://server2.rpc-host:8080/"}, } Alternate backends are selected by using the backend action option. rpc_failure_cb A subroutine reference to call when the RPC call fails at the HTTP level. Called with Mojolicious::Controller the rpc_response and $req_storage A default rpc_failure_cb could be provided in the startup sub routine sub startup { my $self = shift; $self->plugin( 'web_socket_proxy' => { actions => [ ['json_key', {some_param => 'some_value'}] ], base_path => '/api', url => 'http://rpc-host.com:8080/', rpc_failure_cb => sub { my ($c, $res, $req_storage, $error) = @_; warn "RPC call failed"; return undef; } } ); } Call specific sub routine could be specified in call_rpc arguments $c->call_rpc({ args => $args, origin_args => $req_storage->{origin_args}, method => 'ticks_history', rpc_failure_cb => sub { if ($worker) { warn "Something went wrong with this rpc call : " . $method; $worker->unregister; } }, } before_forward before_forward => [sub { my ($c, $req_storage) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run after request is dispatched and before to start preparing RPC call. It'll run every hook or until any hook returns some non-empty result. If returns any hash ref then that value will be JSON encoded and send to client, without forward action to RPC. To call RPC every hook should return empty or undefined value. It's good place to some validation or subscribe actions. after_forward after_forward => [sub { my ($c, $result, $req_storage) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run after every forwarded RPC call done. Or even forward action isn't running. It can view or modify result value from 'before_forward' hook. It'll run every hook or until any hook returns some non-empty result. If returns any hash ref then that value will be JSON encoded and send to client. after_dispatch after_dispatch => [sub { my $c = shift; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run at the end of request handling. before_get_rpc_response (global) before_get_rpc_response => [sub { my ($c, $req_storage) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run when asynchronous RPC call is answered. after_got_rpc_response (global) after_got_rpc_response => [sub { my ($c, $req_storage) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run after checked that response exists. before_send_api_response (global) before_send_api_response => [sub { my ($c, $req_storage, $api_response) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run immediately before send API response. after_sent_api_response (global) before_send_api_response => [sub { my ($c, $req_storage) = @_; ... }, sub {...}] Global hooks which will run immediately after sent API response. base_path API url for make route. stream_timeout See "timeout" in Mojo::IOLoop::Stream max_connections See "max_connections" in Mojo::IOLoop max_response_size Returns error if RPC response size is over value. opened_connection Callback for doing something once after connection is opened finish_connection Callback for doing something every time when connection is closed. url RPC host url - store url string or function to set url dynamically for manually RPC calls. When using forwarded call then url storing in request storage. You can store url in every action options, or make it at before_forward hook. Actions options stash_params stash_params => [qw/ stash_key1 stash_key2 /] Will send specified parameters from Mojolicious $c->stash. You can store RPC response data to Mojolicious stash returning data like this: rpc_response => { stast => {..} # data to store in Mojolicious stash response_key1 => response_value1, # response to API client response_key2 => response_value2 } success success => sub { my ($c, $rpc_response) = @_; ... } Hook which will run if RPC returns success value. error error => sub { my ($c, $rpc_response) = @_; ... } Hook which will run if RPC returns value with error key, e.g. { result => { error => { code => 'some_error' } } } response response => sub { my ($c, $rpc_response) = @_; ... } Hook which will run every time when success or error callbacks is running. It good place to modify API response format. backend Selects an alternative backend to forward requests onto, rather than the default. backend => "server2" SEE ALSO Mojolicious::Plugin::WebSocketProxy, Mojo::WebSocketProxy Mojo::WebSocketProxy::Backend, Mojo::WebSocketProxy::Dispatcher, Mojo::WebSocketProxy::Config Mojo::WebSocketProxy::Parser COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2016 binary.com
