I am using akka-http websocket client to connect with websocket server and for sending and retrieving message.
object WebSocketClientFlow {
def main(args: Array[String]) = {
implicit val system = ActorSystem()
implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()
import system.dispatcher
// Future[Done] is the materialized value of Sink.foreach,
// emitted when the stream completes
val incoming: Sink[Message, Future[Done]] =
Sink.foreach[Message] {
case message: TextMessage.Strict =>
println(message.text)
}
// send this as a message over the WebSocket
val outgoing = Source.single(TextMessage("hello world!"))
// flow to use (note: not re-usable!)
val webSocketFlow = Http().webSocketClientFlow(WebSocketRequest("ws://echo.websocket.org"))
// the materialized value is a tuple with
// upgradeResponse is a Future[WebSocketUpgradeResponse] that
// completes or fails when the connection succeeds or fails
// and closed is a Future[Done] with the stream completion from the incoming sink
val (upgradeResponse, closed) =
outgoing
.viaMat(webSocketFlow)(Keep.right) // keep the materialized Future[WebSocketUpgradeResponse]
.toMat(incoming)(Keep.both) // also keep the Future[Done]
.run()
// just like a regular http request we can access response status which is available via upgrade.response.status
// status code 101 (Switching Protocols) indicates that server support WebSockets
val connected = upgradeResponse.flatMap { upgrade =>
if (upgrade.response.status == StatusCodes.SwitchingProtocols) {
Future.successful(Done)
} else {
throw new RuntimeException(s"Connection failed: ${upgrade.response.status}")
}
}
// in a real application you would not side effect here
connected.onComplete(println)
closed.foreach(_ => println("closed"))
}
}
This example is mentioned in akka-http documentation.
Using this example I can send only one message to a request. How can I send and retrieve multiple message on the same request?
