js-serve-grip-expressly

Use @fanout/serve-grip on @fanout/expressly.

Usage

The following example posts to a Fastly Fanout publisher represented by a GRIP_URL. Make sure you have set up a backend on your service named grip-publisher that can access the host name fanout.fastly.com.

import { Router } from "@fastly/expressly";
import { ServeGrip } from "@fastly/serve-grip-expressly";

const serveGrip = new ServeGrip({
  grip: `https://fanout.fastly.com/<service-id>?iss=<service-id>&key=<api_token>&backend=grip-publisher`
});

const router = new Router();
router.use(serveGrip);

router.get('/api/stream', async(req, res) => {
  if (req.grip.isProxied) {
    const gripInstruct = res.grip.startInstruct();
    gripInstruct.addChannel('test');
    gripInstruct.setHoldStream();
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('[stream open]\n');
  } else {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end("[not proxied]\n");
  }
});

router.get('/api/publish', async(req, res) => {
  const msg = req.url.searchParams.get('msg') ?? 'test message';
  try {
    const publisher = serveGrip.getPublisher()
    await publisher.publishHttpStream('test', msg + '\n');
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Publish successful!');
  } catch({message, context}) {
    res.withStatus(500);
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Publish failed!\n' + message + '\n' + JSON.stringify(context, null, 2) + '\n');
  }
});

router.listen();

WS-over-HTTP

The following examples uses WS-over-HTTP.

import { Router } from "@fastly/expressly";
import { ServeGrip } from "@fastly/serve-grip-expressly";
import { WebSocketMessageFormat } from "@fanoutio/grip";

const serveGrip = new ServeGrip({
  grip: `https://fanout.fastly.com/<service-id>?iss=<service-id>&key=<api_token>&backend=grip-publisher`
});

const router = new Router();
router.use(serveGrip);

// Websocket-over-HTTP is translated to HTTP POST
router.post('/api/websocket', async (req, res) => {
  // Grip signature and connection id are checked by serve-grip
  // Incoming events are decoded, and a WsContent is created as well.
  const { wsContext } = req.grip;
  if (wsContext == null) {
    res.withStatus(400);
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('[not a websocket request]\n');
    return;
  }

  // If this is a new connection, accept it and subscribe it to a channel
  if (wsContext.isOpening()) {
    wsContext.accept();
    wsContext.subscribe('test-ws');
  }

  // Headers and outgoing events are sent by serve-grip
  res.end('');
});

router.post('/api/broadcast', async (req: GripExpresslyRequest, res: GripExpresslyResponse) => {
  const publisher = serveGrip.getPublisher();
  await publisher.publishFormats('test-ws', new WebSocketMessageFormat(await req.text()));
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Ok\n');
});

router.listen();

Running Locally

For local development, you can run this locally using fastly compute serve.

In order to do this, you will need to run the open-source Pushpin server to take the place of Fastly and the Publisher.

Use a constructor call such as the following:

const serveGrip = new ServeGrip({
  grip: {
    control_uri: 'http://localhost:5561/',
    backend: 'grip-publisher',
  }
});

And make sure that your fastly.toml file defines a backend named grip-publisher for http://localhost:5561/.

Additionally, if you need the WebSocket-over-HTTP functionality, make sure Pushpin uses the over_http setting.
