broadcasting system

What does broadcasting system mean ？ The broadcasting system we are talking about here is actually cooperation WebSocket Implementation of the instant update interface . What does that mean ？ For example, in your shopping App On , If the order status changes , For example, the seller delivered the goods , Then you will receive a notification message immediately . Of course ,App Is not used on WebSocket , It is the push mechanism of different platforms , But it is also a broadcast notification mechanism . If you are right about Redis If you know better , You can understand that ： It and Redis Medium Pub/Sub It's very much like , front end SUBSCRIBE Monitor channel , Back end to channel PUBLISH data , That's the process .

stay Web The field of page development , Now? WebSocket It can be said that it has reached the standard of fact . Before, if we wanted to do a broadcast notification function in the background , Is to use Ajax Polling request , But not many people are doing this now , After all WebSocket Is a more reliable and efficient choice . As for why WebSocket Better , This is beyond the scope of our discussion , You can consult relevant information by yourself .

Today's content is simply to set up the environment of the broadcasting system , Not much about the source code , Because the broadcast system is actually implemented by using the queues and events we have learned before . And it also involves some front-end related content , This one has not been studied in depth for me , So let's just have a look .（ Tell the truth ： Strength is not allowed ~~~~）

Server configuration

By default ,Laravel The broadcasting function in the framework is turned off . Now we need to open the broadcast service provider first , It's in config/app.php in .

App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider::class

take providers The service provider's comments in open , We can use broadcast related components . Then we need to do some configuration . The broadcast related configuration is in config/broadcasting.php in .

return [

    'default' => env('BROADCAST_DRIVER', 'null'),

    'connections' => [

        'pusher' => [
            'driver' => 'pusher',
            'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
            'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
            'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
            'options' => [
                'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
                'useTLS' => true,
            ],
        ],

        'ably' => [
            'driver' => 'ably',
            'key' => env('ABLY_KEY'),
        ],

        'redis' => [
            'driver' => 'redis',
            'connection' => 'default',
        ],

        'log' => [
            'driver' => 'log',
        ],

        'null' => [
            'driver' => 'null',
        ],

    ],

];

In this configuration file , We can see that there are many different broadcast connection drivers .pusher It is recommended in official documents , however , Note that there are buts here . This thing needs to be registered on its official website to get it key You can only use . And in their daily use , In fact, more people will use redis+socket.io This collocation . But here comes the problem , stay Laravel8 In related documents , About redis and socket.io The content of is basically gone . So we need to refer to Laravel6 And earlier versions of the documentation . You should pay attention to what you are looking up .

Then we will use Redis To configure the , therefore , We need to be in .env Lieutenant general BROADCAST_DRIVER Set to Redis .

Through the above configuration , The broadcast related configuration is completed . Next we need to define an event , And use the queue to consume it , There is nothing wrong with that ？ Broadcasting is handled through events and queues on the server side .

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class Messages implements ShouldBroadcast
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    public $message;

    public function __construct($newMessage)
    {
        //
        $this->message = $newMessage;
    }

    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new Channel('messages');
    }
}

Our newly defined event , Need to achieve ShouldBroadcast Interface , And then implement a broadcastOn() Method . In this method , Return to one Channel example , It is the channel we want to designate for broadcasting . Here we directly give a channel name as messages . in addition , In this event class , We define a public property to receive the parameters passed by the constructor , In a broadcast event , Public attributes can be broadcast to the front end .

Next , We define a route to trigger broadcast events .

Route::get('broadcasting/test', function(){
    broadcast(new \App\Events\Messages("[" . date("Y-m-d H:i:s") . "]  Here's the news "));
});

In this route , Use it directly broadcast() Tool function , The passed parameters are instantiated Messages Event object , Passed a piece of data to its constructor .

Next , We access this route , And then to redis You can see a piece of data in the queue .

See? , The combination of events and queues is such a routine , Next, just use queue:work perhaps queue:listen Just listen to the queue . thus ,Laravel We have completed the server-side functions of the framework . however , Not quite finished yet , Because we need another one laravel-echo-server Component to run a socket.io Server side . Laravel The contents after queue listening and processing will arrive at laravel-echo-server in , And by the laravel-echo The server of the is used to broadcast to the front end . Be careful , This laravel-echo-server It's a npm Tools , in other words , It's a node.js The server .

npm install -g laravel-echo-server

Initialize after installation .

learn-laravel git:(main) * laravel-echo-server init
? Do you want to run this server in development mode? Yes
? Which port would you like to serve from? 6001
? Which database would you like to use to store presence channel members? redis
? Enter the host of your Laravel authentication server. http://laravel8
? Will you be serving on http or https? http
? Do you want to generate a client ID/Key for HTTP API? No
? Do you want to setup cross domain access to the API? No
? What do you want this config to be saved as? laravel-echo-server.json
Configuration file saved. Run laravel-echo-server start to run server.

During initialization, the contents of the options are in simple English , I believe you have no problem with your English . Then we find the generated in the current directory laravel-echo-server.json file , modify devMode by ture . Finally, the service runs .

learn-laravel git:(main) * laravel-echo-server start

L A R A V E L  E C H O  S E R V E R

version 1.6.2

 Starting server in DEV mode...

  Running at localhost on port 6001
  Channels are ready.
  Listening for http events...
  Listening for redis events...

Server ready!

At this time , We run queue monitoring , Then request the broadcast route , Will see laravel-echo-server The event has been broadcast under the command line of the service .

Channel: messages
Event: App\Events\Messages

thus , The work of the server is completed .

Client configuration

The next step is the configuration of the client , That is, our front-end configuration , Before configuration , You need to install the corresponding npm library .

npm install --save socket.io-client
npm install --save laravel-echo

Obviously , The front end corresponds to the need for a socket.io The client component of and a laravel-echo Components . After installation , It needs to be modified resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js . In this file , Has included a set of comments Echo To configure , We need to open the comment and change it to the following .

import Echo from 'laravel-echo';

window.io = require('socket.io-client');

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'socket.io',
    host: window.location.hostname + ':6001'
    // key: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY,
    // cluster: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER,
    // forceTLS: true
});

Be careful , Be careful , Be careful , Important things are to be repeated for 3 times , Now there are pits here , We will deal with it later . You can modify it like this .

After the modification is completed , We need to use Laravel default mix Tools to compile the front-end code , The last file to load is actually public/js/app.js , Directly use the following command line to compile .

npm run dev

After the compilation , We can write a front-end page to test . In this page , Direct reference app.js File can .

// lresources/views/broadcasting/messages.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>messages</title>
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{
    {csrf_token()}}">

    <link href="{
    {mix('css/app.css')}}" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="{
    {mix('js/app.js')}}"></script>

</head>
<body>

<script>
    Echo.channel("messages")
        .listen("Messages", (e)=>{
            console.log(e);
        });
</script>
</body>
</html>

Echo The object is what we are on bootstrap.js The one defined in window.Echo object . In a specific page , We call it directly channel() Method , Give a specified channel name , Then listen for specific events in this channel , That's where we are Laravel Event class name defined in . In the listening callback function , We print the returned results .

Last , Define a path to display this page .

Route::view('broadcasting/test2', "broadcasting.messages");

Okay , The front-end configuration has been completed . Now open this page .

socket.io problem

I believe you have opened the page we just defined , At the same time, the queue consumption and laravel-echo-server Also running , At this time, the page will continuously poll for a request like the following .

http://laravel8:6001/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=polling&t=NrkU5-3

The parameters in your request may be different from mine , But if you see this request being sent all the time , also console If there is no error in the report , It shows that there is no problem with your front-end configuration . however , At this time, you can try to refresh the page that sends the broadcast , There should still be no messages pushed here . Why is that ？

ok , In fact, it took me a long time to find out the reason for this pit , That's when we go up there npm Installed socket.io-client The version is too high . I'll check here package.json Well, that's right 4.4 Version of , and laravel-echo-server This side only supports to 2.x edition . So we need to reduce the version , The easiest way is to comment out bootstrap.js Introduction in socket.io That line .

import Echo from 'laravel-echo';

// window.io = require('socket.io-client');

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'socket.io',
    host: window.location.hostname + ':6001'
    // key: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY,
    // cluster: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER,
    // forceTLS: true
});

And then directly reference a lower version of... On the front page socket.io .

<script src="https://cdn.bootcdn.net/ajax/libs/socket.io/2.3.0/socket.io.js"></script>

Next, recompile mix .

npm run dev

Now you can open our front-end test page , You can see a WebSocket The connection has been established , The previous one http The connection will not be polled all the time . This situation , Is the normal situation .

ws://laravel8:6001/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=NTZrvzpCSmX_kuuVAAAB

Okay , Go to refresh the broadcast page and send the broadcast , Then go to the test page to see Console Is there any output in .

summary

Happy or not , I'm not happy , It took me a long time to get the broadcasting system through . I believe your efforts will bring harvest . The whole broadcasting system is very complicated , There are events only on the back end 、 Application of queues , And also opened a node.js service . At the front end, you should pay attention to socket.io Version issue for . I will not analyze the specific source code , After all, only for Laravel Frame speaking , It is nothing more than the combined application of events and queues . And the strength of the front end is really not up to the level of analyzing the source code of the library , So there is no show of shame here .

If you have a similar notification requirement in your system , It is entirely possible to consider using this broadcast system to realize , More or less powerful than polling , You can experience the benefits if you try more . Finally, I will quote a diagram of the broadcasting system drawn by a big man .
