send channels events to internal locations #282

Closed RekGRpth closed 4 years ago

RekGRpth commented 6 years ago

like mirror, i.e.

location = /ws {
    push_stream_subscriber websocket;
    push_stream_channels_path $arg_id;
    push_stream_created /created;
    push_stream_destroyed /destroyed;
    push_stream_subscribed /subscribed;
    push_stream_unsubscribed /unsubscribed;
    push_stream_message_template "{\"id\":~id~,\"channel\":\"~channel~\",\"text\":\"~text~\"}";
}
location = /created {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
}
location = /destroyed {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
}
location = /subscribed {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
}
location = /unsubscribed {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
}
wandenberg commented 6 years ago

It is not possible. But you can make your backend application connect to the events channel and filter the events that want to handle. Will be more efficient than handle multiple POST request/response.

RekGRpth commented 6 years ago

like this https://github.com/slact/nchan#subscriber-presence

wandenberg commented 6 years ago

I understood your suggestion/question. But as I said, the module does not have this support, and for performance reasons, do not make sense to add it, since the backend application can connect to Nginx and receive the events. And with the option to use a persistent connection using streaming either with WebSocket or with EventSource.

how about this

Hi @RekGRpth Maybe I was not clear. This change will introduce a big number of subrequests to do something that can be achieved with the current implementation, simply doing the "backend" application connecting to the "events channel" and consuming the events using any of the current delivery methods (polling, long polling, WebSocket or EventSource). I would not add this implementation to the core of the module, but of course, you can have your own version with it. I just strongly advise to do a benchmark and a load test. Maybe, for your application the performance is acceptable, but not for others applications.

I use it so

    location = /ws {
        push_stream_subscriber websocket;
        push_stream_channels_path $arg_id;
        push_stream_message_template "{\"id\":~id~,\"channel\":\"~channel~\",\"text\":~text~}";
    }
    location = /pub {
        push_stream_publisher;
        push_stream_channels_path $arg_id;
    }
    location = /client_unsubscribed {
        internal;
        postgres_pass ngx;
        postgres_query "unlisten $arg_id";
    }
    location = /client_subscribed {
        internal;
        postgres_pass ngx;
        postgres_query "listen $arg_id";
    }
    location = /channel_created {
        internal;
        echo "$arg_id";
    }

i.e. on client_subscribed I send to postgres command "listen channel" then postgres can send async notify and I translate it to websocket on client_unsubscribed I send to postgres command "unlisten channel"
