Can we use swift-url-routing with WebSocket?

Hi,

Can we use swift-url-routing with WebSocket? If not do you plan to add support for it ?

Thanks,

We haven't thought through the details here, but could be interesting! Wanna sketch out what you're thinking?

The basic idea for the client part is to:

• make a wrapper for URLSessionWebSocketTask that conform to AsyncStream let's call it WebSocketTask
• then we need a WebSocketTask consumer that is a ParserPrinter let's call it WebsocketRoute
• WebsocketRoute will listen to the Path if it match then for each message it receive it call a ParserPrinter called Messages that will try to consume Websocket.Message that it received
• Messages parsers will just transform Data -> T

public let mainRouter = OneOf {
   WebsocketRoute {
       Path { "sse" }
       Message {
           Body(.json(Message1.self))
           Body(.json(Message2.self))
           Body(.json(Message3.self))
           Body(.json(Message4.self))
           Body(.json(Message5.self))
       }
   }
}

I think most of the pieces are here for the client part. What do you think ?

With a few modifications this could work for Bonjour(Zeroconf) too 🤔

Hi @mackoj, did you manage to do that? I'm working on a similar task right now and trying to find the solution
