Leptos Websocket

Leptos Websocket provides real-time, reactive signals for Leptos, keeping them in sync with the server through WebSockets. This enables instant UI updates controlled by the server or shared between client and server.

Features

• Server Signals: Read-only on the client, writable by the server.
• Bidirectional Signals: Read-write on both client and server; updates are synchronized in both directions.
• Channel Signals: Message-based channels for sending and receiving discrete messages between client and server.
• Real-time Updates: Changes to signals are sent through WebSockets as JSON patches.
• Framework Integration: Supports integration with Axum and Actix Web.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
leptos_ws = "0.9.0"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }

[features]
hydrate = ["leptos_ws/hydrate"]
ssr = ["leptos_ws/ssr"]

Usage

use leptos::prelude::*;
use leptos_ws::ReadOnlySignal;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[component]
pub fn App() -> impl IntoView {
    // Connect to WebSocket
    leptos_ws::provide_websocket();

    // Create a read-only server signal (updated by the server)
    let count = ReadOnlySignal::new("count", 0 as i32).unwrap();

    view! {
        <button on:click=move |_| {
            // Call the server function to start updating the count
            leptos::spawn_local(async move {
                update_count().await.unwrap();
            });
        }>"Start Counter"</button>
        <h1>"Count: " {move || count.get().to_string()}</h1>
    }
}

#[server]
async fn update_count() -> Result<(), leptos::ServerFnError> {
    use std::time::Duration;
    use tokio::time::sleep;
    let count = ReadOnlySignal::new("count", 0 as i32).unwrap();
    for i in 0..100 {
        count.update(|value| *value = i);
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    }
    Ok(())
}
