# DESCRIPTION
`Dancer2::Plugin::WebSocket` provides an interface to [Plack::App::WebSocket](https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::App::WebSocket)
and allows to interact with the webSocket connections within the Dancer app.
[Plack::App::WebSocket](https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::App::WebSocket), and thus this plugin, requires a plack server that
supports the psgi _streaming_, _nonblocking_ and _io_. [Twiggy](https://metacpan.org/pod/Twiggy)
is the most popular server fitting the bill.
# CONFIGURATION
- serializer
If serializer is set to a `true` value, messages will be assumed to be JSON
objects and will be automatically encoded/decoded using a [JSON::MaybeXS](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::MaybeXS)
serializer. If the value of `serializer` is a hash, it'll be passed as
arguments to the [JSON::MaybeXS](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::MaybeXS) constructor.
```
plugins:
WebSocket:
serializer:
utf8: 1
allow_nonref: 1
```
By the way, if you want the connection to automatically serialize data
structures to JSON on the client side, you can do something like
```perl
var mySocket = new WebSocket(urlMySocket);
mySocket.sendJSON = function(message) {
return this.send(JSON.stringify(message))
};
// then later...
mySocket.sendJSON({ whoa: "auto-serialization ftw!" });
```
- mount\_path
Path for the websocket mountpoint. Defaults to `/ws`.
# PLUGIN KEYWORDS
In the various callbacks, the connection object `$conn`
is a [Plack::App::WebSocket::Connection](https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::App::WebSocket::Connection) object
augmented with the [Dancer2::Plugin::WebSocket::Connection](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer2::Plugin::WebSocket::Connection) role.
## websocket\_on\_open sub { ... }
```perl
websocket_on_open sub {
my( $conn, $env ) = @_;
...;
};
```
Code invoked when a new socket is opened. Gets the new
connection
object and the Plack
`$env` hash as arguments.
## websocket\_on\_login sub { ... }
```perl
websocket_on_login sub {
my( $conn, $env ) = @_;
...;
};
```
Code invoked when a new socket is opened. Gets the
connection object and the Plack `$env` hash as arguments.
Example: return true if user is logged in and the webapp http\_cookie is the same as the websocket.
```perl
my $login_conn;
my $cookie_name = 'example.session';
hook before => sub {
if (defined cookies->{$cookie_name}) {
$login_conn->{'cookie_id'} = cookies->{$cookie_name}->value;
}
$login_conn->{'login'} = logged_in_user ? 1 : 0;
};
websocket_on_login sub {
my( $conn, $env ) = @_;
my ($cookie_id) = ($env->{'HTTP_COOKIE'} =~ /$cookie_name=(.*);?/g);
if (($login_conn->{'login'}) and ($login_conn->{'cookie_id'} eq $cookie_id)) {
return 1;
} else {
warn "require login";
return 0;
}
};
```
## websocket\_on\_close sub { ... }
```perl
websocket_on_close sub {
my( $conn ) = @_;
