WebSocket class

A two-way HTTP communication object for client or server applications.

The stream exposes the messages received. A text message will be of type String and a binary message will be of type List<int>.

Constructors

WebSocket()
WebSocket.fromUpgradedSocket(Socket socket, { String protocol, bool serverSide, CompressionOptions compression: CompressionOptions.compressionDefault })
Creates a WebSocket from an already-upgraded socket. [...]

Properties

closeCode int
The close code set when the WebSocket connection is closed. If there is no close code available this property will be null
read-only
closeReason String
The close reason set when the WebSocket connection is closed. If there is no close reason available this property will be null
read-only
extensions String
The extensions property is initially the empty string. After the WebSocket connection is established this string reflects the extensions used by the server.
read-only
pingInterval Duration
Set and get the interval for sending ping signals. If a ping message is not answered by a pong message from the peer, the WebSocket is assumed disconnected and the connection is closed with a WebSocketStatus.GOING_AWAY close code. When a ping signal is sent, the pong message must be received within pingInterval. [...]
read / write
protocol String
The protocol property is initially the empty string. After the WebSocket connection is established the value is the subprotocol selected by the server. If no subprotocol is negotiated the value will remain null.
read-only
readyState int
Returns the current state of the connection.
read-only
done Future
Return a future which is completed when the StreamSink is finished. [...]
read-only, inherited
first Future
The first element of the stream. [...]
read-only, inherited
hashCode int
The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
isBroadcast bool
Whether this stream is a broadcast stream.
read-only, inherited
isEmpty Future<bool>
Whether this stream contains any elements. [...]
read-only, inherited
last Future
The last element of this stream. [...]
read-only, inherited
length Future<int>
The number of elements in this stream. [...]
read-only, inherited
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited
single Future
The single element of this stream. [...]

Methods

add(dynamic data) → void
Sends data on the WebSocket connection. The data in data must be either a String, or a List<int> holding bytes.
addStream(Stream stream) Future
Sends data from a stream on WebSocket connection. Each data event from stream will be send as a single WebSocket frame. The data from stream must be either Strings, or List<int>s holding bytes.
addUtf8Text(List<int> bytes) → void
Sends a text message with the text represented by bytes. [...]
close([int code, String reason ]) Future
Closes the WebSocket connection. Set the optional code and reason arguments to send close information to the remote peer. If they are omitted, the peer will see WebSocketStatus.NO_STATUS_RECEIVED code with no reason.
addError(Object error, [ StackTrace stackTrace ]) → void
Adds an error to the sink. [...]
inherited
any(bool test(T element)) Future<bool>
Checks whether test accepts any element provided by this stream. [...]
inherited
asBroadcastStream({void onListen(StreamSubscription<T> subscription), void onCancel(StreamSubscription<T> subscription) }) Stream

inherited
asyncExpand<E>(Stream<E> convert(T event)) Stream<E>

inherited
cast<R>() Stream<R>
Adapt this stream to be a Stream<R>. [...]
inherited
contains(Object needle) Future<bool>
Returns whether needle occurs in the elements provided by this stream. [...]
inherited
distinct([bool equals(T previous, T next) ]) Stream
Skips data events if they are equal to the previous data event. [...]
inherited
drain<E>([E futureValue ]) Future<E>
Discards all data on the stream, but signals when it's done or an error occurred. [...]
inherited
elementAt(int index) Future
Returns the value of the indexth data event of this stream. [...]
inherited
every(bool test(T element)) Future<bool>

inherited
forEach(void action(T element)) Future
Executes action on each element of the stream. [...]
inherited
handleError(Function onError, { bool test(dynamic error) }) Stream
Creates a wrapper Stream that intercepts some errors from this stream. [...]
inherited
join([String separator = "" ]) Future<String>
Combines the string representation of elements into a single string. [...]
inherited
lastWhere(bool test(T element), { dynamic orElse() }) Future
Finds the last element in this stream matching test. [...]
inherited
listen(void onData(T event), { Function onError, void onDone(), bool cancelOnError }) StreamSubscription

inherited
map<S>(S convert(T event)) Stream<S>

inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
pipe(StreamConsumer streamConsumer) Future
Pipes the events of this stream into streamConsumer. [...]
inherited
reduce(dynamic combine(T previous, T element)) Future
Combines a sequence of values by repeatedly applying combine. [...]
inherited
singleWhere(bool test(T element), { dynamic orElse() }) Future

inherited
skipWhile(bool test(T element)) Stream
Skip data events from this stream while they are matched by test. [...]
inherited
take(int count) Stream
Provides at most the first count data events of this stream. [...]
inherited
takeWhile(bool test(T element)) Stream
