Bi direction web socket communication

[moneya]

Hi, I would to know if this supports bi-directional communication via websocket.

• client to client
• client to server.

I currently use laravel websocket but would like to switch to swoole.

If yes, can you point me to a documentation for that?

do you support custom route base channels?

i currently use laravel websocket to handle that.

Thank you, @moneya, for your interest.
This PoC (proof of concept) currently implements a simple broadcast, that is, the client sends a message to the server, and the server takes care of delivering this message to all connected clients (broadcast).
The client-client communication should still go through the server specifying the recipient. It is possible to redefine the default WebSocketHandler by extending the WebSocketHandlerInterface interface. To set a new WebSocketHandler you can use the setWebSocketHandler method in the LaraSockCommand.

Honestly, I had slowed down the development of this PoC because of the little feedback I received. But if there is interest, it can be resumed.

Well, does this work with pusher package / protocol?
In pusher there's this .whisper() function we using for (user is typing).
I think that's client to client.

And so client to server works and server to client works right now?.

Do I need a route , like the below to register an handler?

WebSocketsRouter::webSocket('/my-websocket', \App\MyCustomWebSocketHandler::class);

And what about security?

I have been following this project for a while, since you started.
But didn't checkback until now.
And yes am interested in this project.
I need a swoole alternative to laravel websocket package.
