`Socketioxide` 🚀🦀

A socket.io server implementation in Rust that integrates with the Tower ecosystem and the Tokio stack. It integrates with any server framework based on tower like Axum, Warp, Salvo or Hyper. Add any other tower based middleware on top of socketioxide such as CORS, authorization, compression, etc with tower-http.

⚠️ This crate is under active development and the API is not yet stable.

Compatibility :

With the recent migration of all frameworks to hyper v1. It can be complicated to know which version of socketioxide to use with which version of the framework. This table summarizes the compatibility between the different versions of socketioxide and the different frameworks.

Http framework	Hyper version	socketioxide version
🦀Hyper 1.0	1.0	>= 0.9
🦀Hyper 1-rc*	1-rc*	< 0.9
🦀Hyper 0.14	0.14	< 0.9
🦀Axum 0.7	1.0	>= 0.9
🦀Axum 0.6	0.14	< 0.9
🦀Warp 0.3	0.14	< 0.9
🦀Salvo 0.63	1.0	>= 0.9
🦀Salvo 0.62	1-rc*	< 0.9

Features :

Integrates with :
- Axum: 🏓echo example
- Warp: 🏓echo example (Not supported with socketioxide >= 0.9.0 as long as warp doesn't migrate to hyper v1)
- Hyper: 🏓echo example
- Salvo: 🏓echo example
Out of the box support for any other middleware based on tower :
Namespaces
Rooms
Ack and emit with ack
Binary packets
Polling & Websocket transports
Extensions to add custom data to sockets
Memory efficient http payload parsing with streams
Flexible axum-like API to handle events. With extractors to extract data from your handlers
Well tested with the official end to end test-suite
Socket.io versions supported :
- 🔌protocol v5 : socket.io js from v3.0.0..latest, it is enabled by default
- 🔌protocol v4 : based on engine.io v3, under the feature flag v4, (socket.io js from v1.0.3..latest)

Planned features :

Other adapter to share state between server instances (like redis adapter), currently only the in memory adapter is implemented
State recovery when a socket reconnects

Examples :

Chat app 💬 (see full example here)

io.ns("/", |s: SocketRef| {
    s.on("new message", |s: SocketRef, Data::<String>(msg)| {
        let username = s.extensions.get::<Username>().unwrap().clone();
        let msg = Res::Message {
            username,
            message: msg,
        };
        s.broadcast().emit("new message", msg).ok();
    });

    s.on(
        "add user",
        |s: SocketRef, Data::<String>(username), user_cnt: State<UserCnt>| {
            if s.extensions.get::<Username>().is_some() {
                return;
            }
            let num_users = user_cnt.add_user();
            s.extensions.insert(Username(username.clone()));
            s.emit("login", Res::Login { num_users }).ok();

            let res = Res::UserEvent {
                num_users,
                username: Username(username),
            };
            s.broadcast().emit("user joined", res).ok();
        },
    );

    s.on("typing", |s: SocketRef| {
        let username = s.extensions.get::<Username>().unwrap().clone();
        s.broadcast()
            .emit("typing", Res::Username { username })
            .ok();
    });

    s.on("stop typing", |s: SocketRef| {
        let username = s.extensions.get::<Username>().unwrap().clone();
        s.broadcast()
            .emit("stop typing", Res::Username { username })
            .ok();
    });

    s.on_disconnect(|s: SocketRef, user_cnt: State<UserCnt>| {
        if let Some(username) = s.extensions.get::<Username>() {
            let num_users = user_cnt.remove_user();
            let res = Res::UserEvent {
                num_users,
                username: username.clone(),
            };
            s.broadcast().emit("user left", res).ok();
        }
    });
});
