Azure Web PubSub service client library for .NET - version 1.4.0

  • 發行項

Azure Web PubSub Service is an Azure-managed service that helps developers easily build web applications with real-time features and publish-subscribe pattern. Any scenario that requires real-time publish-subscribe messaging between server and clients or among clients can use Azure Web PubSub service. Traditional real-time features that often require polling from server or submitting HTTP requests can also use Azure Web PubSub service.

You can use this library in your app server side to manage the WebSocket client connections, as shown in below diagram:

overflow

Use this library to:

  • Send messages to hubs and groups.
  • Send messages to particular users and connections.
  • Organize users and connections into groups.
  • Close connections
  • Grant, revoke, and check permissions for an existing connection

Details about the terms used here are described in Key concepts section.

Getting started

Install the package

Install the client library from NuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Messaging.WebPubSub

Prerequisites

Create and authenticate a WebPubSubServiceClient

In order to interact with the service, you'll need to create an instance of the WebPubSubServiceClient class. To make this possible, you'll need the connection string or a key, which you can access in the Azure portal.

// Create a WebPubSubServiceClient that will authenticate using a key credential.
var serviceClient = new WebPubSubServiceClient(new Uri(endpoint), "some_hub", new AzureKeyCredential(key));

Key concepts

Connection

A connection, also known as a client or a client connection, represents an individual WebSocket connection connected to the Web PubSub service. When successfully connected, a unique connection ID is assigned to this connection by the Web PubSub service.

Hub

A hub is a logical concept for a set of client connections. Usually you use one hub for one purpose, for example, a chat hub, or a notification hub. When a client connection is created, it connects to a hub, and during its lifetime, it belongs to that hub. Different applications can share one Azure Web PubSub service by using different hub names.

Group

A group is a subset of connections to the hub. You can add a client connection to a group, or remove the client connection from the group, anytime you want. For example, when a client joins a chat room, or when a client leaves the chat room, this chat room can be considered to be a group. A client can join multiple groups, and a group can contain multiple clients.

User

Connections to Web PubSub can belong to one user. A user might have multiple connections, for example when a single user is connected across multiple devices or multiple browser tabs.

Message

When a client is connected, it can send messages to the upstream application, or receive messages from the upstream application, through the WebSocket connection.

Examples

Generate the full URI containing access token for the connection to use when connects the Azure Web PubSub

// Generate client access URI for userA
serviceClient.GetClientAccessUri(userId: "userA");
// Generate client access URI with initial permissions
serviceClient.GetClientAccessUri(roles: new string[] { "webpubsub.joinLeaveGroup.group1", "webpubsub.sendToGroup.group1" });
// Generate client access URI with initial groups to join when the connection connects
serviceClient.GetClientAccessUri(groups: new string[] { "group1", "group2" });

Send messages to the connections

Broadcast a text message to all clients

var serviceClient = new WebPubSubServiceClient(connectionString, "some_hub");

serviceClient.SendToAll("Hello World!");

Broadcast a JSON message to all clients

var serviceClient = new WebPubSubServiceClient(connectionString, "some_hub");

serviceClient.SendToAll(RequestContent.Create(
        new
        {
            Foo = "Hello World!",
            Bar = 42
        }),
        ContentType.ApplicationJson);

Broadcast a binary message to all clients

var serviceClient = new WebPubSubServiceClient(connectionString, "some_hub");

Stream stream = BinaryData.FromString("Hello World!").ToStream();
serviceClient.SendToAll(RequestContent.Create(stream), ContentType.ApplicationOctetStream);

Broadcast messages to clients using filter

Azure Web PubSub supports OData filter syntax to filter out the connections to send messages to.

Details about filter syntax please see OData filter syntax for Azure Web PubSub.

var serviceClient = new WebPubSubServiceClient(connectionString, "some_hub");

// Use filter to send text message to anonymous connections
serviceClient.SendToAll(
        RequestContent.Create("Hello World!"),
        ContentType.TextPlain,
        filter: ClientConnectionFilter.Create($"userId eq {null}"));

// Use filter to send JSON message to connections in groupA but not in groupB
var group1 = "GroupA";
var group2 = "GroupB";
serviceClient.SendToAll(RequestContent.Create(
        new
        {
            Foo = "Hello World!",
            Bar = 42
        }),
        ContentType.ApplicationJson,
        filter: ClientConnectionFilter.Create($"{group1} in groups and not({group2} in groups)"));

Connection management

Add connections for some user to some group:

client.AddUserToGroup("some_group", "some_user");

// Avoid sending messages to users who do not exist.
if (client.UserExists("some_user").Value)
{
    client.SendToUser("some_user", "Hi, I am glad you exist!");
}

client.RemoveUserFromGroup("some_group", "some_user");

Remove connection from all groups

var client = new WebPubSubServiceClient(connectionString, "some_hub");
client.RemoveConnectionFromAllGroups("some_connection");

Troubleshooting

Setting up console logging

You can also easily enable console logging if you want to dig deeper into the requests you're making against the service.
