clj-wamp

A Clojure implementation of the WebSocket Application Messaging Protocol (v1), for HTTP Kit servers.

Provides hooks for common WebSocket messaging patterns and error handling (RPC, PubSub, and Authentication).

Visit cljwamp.us for live demos and additional information. See clj-wamp-example for an example project and source code.

Usage

Create a new starter project with clj-wamp and HTTP Kit:

lein new clj-wamp my-project

...or add the following dependency to your existing project.clj file:

[clj-wamp "1.0.2"]

Run clj-wamp's http-kit-handler within http-kit's with-channel context:

(ns clj-wamp-example
  (:require [org.httpkit.server :as http-kit]
            [clj-wamp.server :as wamp]))

; Topic URIs
(defn rpc-url [path] (str "http://clj-wamp-example/api#"   path))
(defn evt-url [path] (str "http://clj-wamp-example/event#" path))

(def origin-re #"https?://myhost")

(defn my-wamp-handler
  "Returns a http-kit websocket handler with wamp subprotocol"

  (wamp/with-channel-validation request channel origin-re
    (wamp/http-kit-handler channel
