vue-wamp

Autobahn wrapper for Vue, served as a plugin

• Calls to subscribe, register, publish, call, unsubscribe, unregister are deferred, so that they are executed as soon as the Session object of Autobahn is available
• Plugin packaging
• Global, static methods
• Vue mixin methods
• Automatic garbage collection for Registration and Subscription objects component-wise when used through option (acknowledge option is forced)

Since v2.0.0:

• Automatic re-subscribe/register if the connection was lost then re-established (only works with mixin methods and component config)
• Reactive global state
• Events

Since v3.0.0:

• wampIsOpen, wampIsConnected and wampIsRetrying are only available on the $root component, to avoid data pollution. (Events are still emitted on all components)
• Scrapped bundling, use your own toolchain to transpile to the desired compatibility level
• Deprecated config options:
  • onopen {function}
  • onclose {function}
  • debug {boolean}
• New config options:
  • namespace {string}: The namespace for the plugin, default: wamp
  • auto_reestablish {boolean}: Automatically re-registers and re-subscribes after reconnection
  • auto_close_timeout {number}: Will close the WS connection after amount of idle milliseconds
• Rudimentary TypeScript support

Installation

npm install --save vue-wamp

Configuration

Vue.use(VueWamp, {
    url: 'ws://demo.crossbar.io/ws',

    // change this in case of naming conflict
    namespace: 'wamp',
    // automatically re-registers and re-subscribes after reconnection (on by default)
    auto_reestablish: true,
    // automatically closes WS connection after amount of idle milliseconds (off by default)
    auto_close_timeout: -1,
});
