Welcome to the documentation for the ABMessageWebSocket library. Here you will find everything you need to know to integrate ABMessageWebSocket into your project and make the most out of its features.

What is ABMessageWebSocket?

ABMessageWebSocket is a lightweight WebSocket library for iOS designed to simplify communication between client and server using the WebSocket protocol. It provides a convenient and easy-to-use API that allows developers to establish WebSocket connections and exchange messages efficiently.

Features

  • Simple WebSocket connection establishment
  • Efficient message sending and receiving
  • Error handling and connection recovery
  • Support for custom protocols and headers
  • Sending and receiving binary data

Installation

To install ABMessageWebSocket in your project, you can use one of the following methods:

  • Using CocoaPods: Add pod 'ABMessageWebSocket' to your Podfile and run pod install.
  • Manual installation: Download the library from the official GitHub repository and add the files to your Xcode project manually.

Usage

To start using ABMessageWebSocket in your application, follow these simple steps:

  • Import the library module.
  • Create an instance of ABMessageWebSocketClient and set the delegate.
  • Establish a WebSocket connection with the desired server.
  • Implement the necessary delegate methods to handle incoming and outgoing messages.
  • Send messages using send method and handle received messages in the delegate methods.
  • Handle connection errors and recovery using the provided delegate methods.

Examples

Here are a few examples to get you started:

Example 1: Connecting to a WebSocket server

import ABMessageWebSocket

class ViewController: UIViewController, ABMessageWebSocketClientDelegate {
    var socketClient: ABMessageWebSocketClient!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        // Create a socket client instance
        socketClient = ABMessageWebSocketClient(url: URL(string: "ws://example.com")!)
        
        // Set the delegate
        socketClient.delegate = self
        
        // Establish a connection
        socketClient.connect()
    }
    
    // Implement the delegate methods
    // ...
}

Example 2: Sending and receiving messages

import ABMessageWebSocket

class ViewController: UIViewController, ABMessageWebSocketClientDelegate {
    var socketClient: ABMessageWebSocketClient!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        // Create a socket client instance
        socketClient = ABMessageWebSocketClient(url: URL(string: "ws://example.com")!)
        
        // Set the delegate
        socketClient.delegate = self
        
        // Establish a connection
        socketClient.connect()
    }
    
    // Implement the delegate methods
    // ...
    
    func sendTextMessage() {
        let message = "Hello, server!"
        
        // Send a text message
        socketClient.send(message)
    }
    
    func webSocketClient(_ client: ABMessageWebSocketClient, didReceiveMessage message: String) {
        // Handle received messages
        print("Received message: \(message)")
    }
}
