WebSocketGateway class

This is the reference for the WebSocketGateway that contains all the parameters, attributes and functions.

How to import

from esmerald import WebSocketGateway

esmerald.WebSocketGateway

WebSocketGateway(path=None, *, handler, name=None, parent=None, dependencies=None, middleware=None, interceptors=None, permissions=None, exception_handlers=None, is_from_router=False)

Bases: WebSocketPath, Dispatcher, BaseMiddleware

WebSocketGateway object class used by Esmerald routes.

The WebSocketGateway act as a brigde between the router handlers and the main Esmerald routing system.

Read more about WebSocketGateway and how to use it.

Example

from esmerald import Esmerald. websocket

@websocket()
async def world_socket(socket: Websocket) -> None:
    await socket.accept()
    msg = await socket.receive_json()
    assert msg
    assert socket
    await socket.close()

WebSocketGateway(path="/ws", handler=home)

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
path	Relative path of the WebSocketGateway. The path can contain parameters in a dictionary like format and if the path is not provided, it will default to /. Example WebSocketGateway() Example with parameters WebSocketGateway(path="/{age: int}") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None
handler	An instance of handler. TYPE: Union[WebSocketHandler, View]
name	The name for the Gateway. The name can be reversed by path_for(). TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None
parent	Who owns the Gateway. If not specified, the application automatically it assign it. This is directly related with the application levels. TYPE: Optional[ParentType] DEFAULT: None
dependencies	A dictionary of string and Inject instances enable application level dependency injection. TYPE: Optional[Dependencies] DEFAULT: None
middleware	A list of middleware to run for every request. The middlewares of a Gateway will be checked from top-down or Lilya Middleware as they are both converted internally. Read more about Python Protocols. TYPE: Optional[List[Middleware]] DEFAULT: None
interceptors	A list of interceptors to serve the application incoming requests (HTTP and Websockets). TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Interceptor]] DEFAULT: None
permissions	A list of permissions to serve the application incoming requests (HTTP and Websockets). TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Permission]] DEFAULT: None
exception_handlers	A dictionary of exception types (or custom exceptions) and the handler functions on an application top level. Exception handler callables should be of the form of handler(request, exc) -> response and may be be either standard functions, or async functions. TYPE: Optional[ExceptionHandlerMap] DEFAULT: None
is_from_router	Used by the .add_router() function of the Esmerald class indicating if the Gateway is coming from a router. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
