defmodule Fresh do @moduledoc """ This module provides a high-level interface for managing WebSocket connections. It simplifies implementing WebSocket clients, allowing you to easily establish and manage connections with WebSocket servers. ## Usage To use this module, follow these steps: 1. Use the `use Fresh` macro in your WebSocket client module to automatically configure the necessary callbacks and functionality: defmodule MyWebSocketClient do use Fresh # ...callbacks and functionalities. end 2. Implement callback functions to handle connection events, received data frames, and more, as specified in the documentation. 3. Start WebSocket connections using `start_link/1` or `start/1` with the desired configuration options: MyWebSocketClient.start_link(uri: "wss://example.com/socket", state: %{}, opts: [ name: {:local, :my_connection} ]) ## How to Supervise For effective management of WebSocket connections, consider supervising your WebSocket client processes. You can add your WebSocket client module as a child to a supervisor, allowing the supervisor to monitor and restart the WebSocket client process in case of failures. children = [ {MyWebSocketClient, uri: "wss://example.com/socket", state: %{}, opts: [ name: {:local, :my_connection} ]} # ...other child specifications ] Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one) ## Reconnection In scenarios where the WebSocket connection is lost or encounters an error, you can configure reconnection behaviour using `c:handle_disconnect/3` and `c:handle_error/2` callbacks. Depending on your requirements, you can implement logic to automatically reconnect to the server or take other appropriate actions. ### Automatic Reconnection and Backoff Fresh uses exponential backoff (with a fixed factor of `1.5`) strategy for reconnection attempts. This means that after a connection loss, it waits for a brief interval before attempting to reconnect, gradually increasing the time between reconnection attempts until a maximum limit is reached. The exponential backoff strategy helps prevent overwhelming the server with rapid reconnection attempts and allows for a more graceful recovery when the server is temporarily unavailable. The default backoff parameters are as follows: * Initial Backoff Interval: 250 milliseconds * Maximum Backoff Interval: 30 seconds You can customize these parameters by including them in your WebSocket client's configuration, as shown in the "Example Configuration" section of the `t:option/0` documentation.

Available options include: * `:name` - Registers a name for the WebSocket connection, allowing you to refer to it later using a name. * `:headers` - Specifies a list of headers to include in the WebSocket connection request. These headers will be sent during the connection upgrade. * `:transport_opts` - Additional options to pass to the transport layer used for the WebSocket connection. Consult the [Mint.HTTP documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/mint/Mint.HTTP.html#connect/4-options) for more informations. * `:mint_upgrade_opts` - Extra options to provide to [Mint.WebSocket](https://github.com/elixir-mint/mint_web_socket) during the WebSocket upgrade process. Consult the [Mint.WebSocket documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/mint_web_socket/Mint.WebSocket.html#upgrade/5-options) for additional information. * `:ping_interval` - This option is used for keeping the WebSocket connection alive by sending empty ping frames at regular intervals, specified in milliseconds. The default value is `30000` (30 seconds). To disable ping frames, set this option to `0`. * `:error_logging` - Allows toggling logging for error messages. Enabled by default. * `:info_logging` - Allows toggling logging for informational messages. Enabled by default. * `:backoff_initial` - Specifies the initial backoff time, in milliseconds, used between reconnection attempts. The default value is `250` (250 milliseconds). * `:backoff_max` - Sets the maximum time interval, in milliseconds, used between reconnection attempts. The default value is `30000` (30 seconds). * `:hibernate_after` - Specifies a timeout value, in milliseconds, which the WebSocket connection process will enter hibernation if there is no activity. Hibernation is disabled by default. ## Example Configuration [ name: {:local, Example.Connection}, headers: [{"Authorization", "Bearer token"}], ping_interval: 60_000, error_logging: false, backoff_initial: 5_000, backoff_max: 60_000, hibernate_after: 600_000 ] """ @type option :: {:name, :gen_statem.server_name()} | {:headers, Mint.Types.headers()} | {:transport_opts, keyword()} | {:mint_upgrade_opts, keyword()} | {:ping_interval, non_neg_integer()} | {:error_logging, boolean()} | {:info_logging, boolean()} | {:backoff_initial, non_neg_integer()} | {:backoff_max, non_neg_integer()} | {:hibernate_after, timeout()} @typedoc "Represents the response of a generic callback and enables you to manage the state." @type generic_handle_response :: {:ok, state()} | {:reply, list(Mint.WebSocket.frame()), state()} | {:close, non_neg_integer(), binary(), state()} @typedoc "Represents the response for all connection handle callbacks." @type connection_handle_response :: {:ignore, state()} | {:reconnect, initial :: state()} | {:close, reason :: term()} | :reconnect | :close @doc """ Callback invoked when a WebSocket connection is successfully established. ## Parameters * `status` - The status received during the connection upgrade. * `headers` - The headers received during the connection upgrade. * `state` - The current state of the module. ## Example def handle_connect(_status, _headers, state) do payload = "connection up!" {:reply, [{:text, payload}], state} end """ @callback handle_connect(status, headers, state()) :: generic_handle_response() when status: Mint.Types.status(), headers: Mint.Types.headers() @doc """ Callback invoked when a control frame is received from the server. ## Parameters * `frame` - The received WebSocket frame, which is a control frame. * `state` - The current state of the module. ## Example def handle_control({:ping, message}, state) do IO.puts("Received ping with content: \#{message}!") {:ok, state} end def handle_control({:pong, message}, state) do IO.puts("Received pong with content: \#{message}!") {:ok, state} end """ @callback handle_control(frame :: control_frame(), state()) :: generic_handle_response() @doc """ Callback invoked when a data frame is received from the server. ## Parameters * `frame` - The received WebSocket frame, which is a data frame. * `state` - The current state of the module. ## Example def handle_in({:text, message}, state) do %{"data" => updated_data} = Jason.decode!(message) {:ok, updated_data} end def handle_in({:binary, _message}, state) do {:reply, [{:text, "i prefer text :)"}], state} end """ @callback handle_in(frame :: data_frame(), state()) :: generic_handle_response() @doc """ Callback invoked when an incomprehensible message is received. ## Parameters * `data` - The received message, which can be any term. * `state` - The current state of the module. ## Example def handle_info({:reply, message}, state) do {:reply, [{:text, message}], state} end Later can be used like: send(:ws_conn, {:reply, "hello!"}) """ @callback handle_info(data :: any(), state()) :: generic_handle_response() @doc """ Callback invoked when an error is encountered during WebSocket communication, allowing you to define custom error handling logic for various scenarios. ## Parameters * `error` - The encountered error. * `state` - The current state of the module. ## Example def handle_error({error, _reason}, state) when error in [:encoding_failed, :casting_failed], do: {:ignore, state} def handle_error(_error, _state), do: :reconnect """ @callback handle_error(error(), state()) :: connection_handle_response() @doc """ Callback invoked when the WebSocket connection is being disconnected. ## Parameters * `code` (optional) - The disconnection code, if available.
