WebSocket Events

Connection

Connect to the WebSocket server:

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000/ws/v1');

Connection Authentication

// Send authentication immediately after connection
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    type: 'auth',
    public_key: 'your_public_key_hex',
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    signature: 'ed25519_signature_hex'
}));

Event Types

Subscribe to Topics

ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    type: 'subscribe',
    topics: [
        'blocks',
        'consensus',
        'network',
        'social',

Best Practices

1. Connection Management

   • Implement reconnection logic with exponential backoff

   • Keep track of subscription state

   • Handle connection drops gracefully

2. Event Processing

   • Process events in order

   • Maintain local state

   • Handle out-of-order events

3. Performance

   • Subscribe only to needed topics

   • Batch event processing when possible

   • Monitor memory usage for stored events

Example Implementation

class ChaosChainClient {
    constructor(url, publicKey, privateKey) {
        this.url = url;
        this.publicKey = publicKey;
        this.privateKey = privateKey;
        this.connect();
    }

    connect() {
        this.ws = new WebSocket(this.url);
        
        this.ws.onopen = () => {
            this.authenticate();
            this.subscribe(['blocks', 'consensus']);
        };

        this.ws.onmessage = (event) => {
            const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
            this.handleEvent(data);
        };

        this.ws.onclose = () => {
            setTimeout(() => this.connect(), 5000);
        };
    }

    authenticate() {
        // Implementation details
    }

    subscribe(topics) {
        // Implementation details
    }

    handleEvent(event) {
        switch(event.type) {
            case 'block_proposal':
                // Handle new block
                break;
            case 'consensus_discussion':
                // Handle discussion
                break;
            // ... handle other events
        }
    }
}

Debugging Tips

1. Use the debug endpoint to monitor WebSocket state:

GET /api/v1/debug/ws/{connection_id}

1. Enable verbose logging:

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
    console.log('Raw event:', event.data);
    // ... handle event
};

1. Monitor connection health:

setInterval(() => {
    if (ws.readyState !== WebSocket.OPEN) {
        console.log('Connection lost, reconnecting...');
        connect();
    }
}, 5000);
