serverwamp Documentation

Adds Web Application Messaging Protocol features to WebSocket servers. serverwamp makes it easy to both serve requests from clients and push events to clients over a single connection. It currently supports ASGI servers or aiohttp.

Example service that allows WebSocket clients to retrieve or remove documents from a database:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import web
import serverwamp

docs_api = serverwamp.RPCRouteSet()
docs_events = serverwamp.TopicRouteSet()

@docs_api.route('docs.getDoc')
async def get_doc(document_id):
    record = await my_db.retrieve(document_id)
    return {'status': 'SUCCESS', 'doc': record}

@docs_api.route('docs.deleteDoc')
async def delete_doc(document_id):
    succeeded = await my_db.delete(document_id)
    if succeeded:
        return {'status': 'SUCCESS'}

    return serverwamp.RPCErrorResult(
        'wamp.error.delete_failed',
        kwargs={'status': 'FAILURE'}
    )

@docs_events.route('docs.changes')
async def subscribe_to_doc_changes(session, changes_subscribers):
    changes_subscribers.add(session)
    session.send_event(args=('Thanks for subscribing!',))
    yield
    changes_subscribers.remove(session)


async def server_context(app):

    async def watch_for_docs_changes():
        async for event in my_db.watch_changes():
            for session in app['changes_subscribers']:
                await session.send_event(f'Document changed: {event}')

    watcher = asyncio.create_task(watch_for_docs_changes())

    try:
        yield
    finally:
        watcher.cancel()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    changes_subscribers = set()

    app = serverwamp.Application()
    app.add_rpc_routes(docs_api)
    app.add_topic_routes(docs_events)
    app.set_default_arg('changes_subscribers', changes_subscribers)

    http_app = web.Application()
    http_app['changes_subscribers'] = changes_subscribers
    http_app.add_routes((
        web.get('/', app.aiohttp_websocket_handler()),
    ))
    http_app.cleanup_ctx.append(server_context)

    web.run_app(http_app)
