Swamp - Swift WAMP implementation

Swamp is a WAMP implementation in Swift.

It currently supports calling remote procedures, subscribing on topics, and publishing events. It also supports authentication using ticket & wampcra authentication.

Swamp utilizes WebSockets as its only available transport, and JSON as its serialization method.

Contributions to support MessagePack & Raw Sockets will be merged gladly!

Swift Versions

Swift Version	Swamp Version	Requirements
2.x	0.1.x	OSX 10.9 or iOS 8.0
3	0.2.0 and above	OSX 10.10 or iOS 8.0

Installation

cocoapods

To use Swamp through cocoapods, add

pod 'Swamp', '~> 0.2.0'

to your Podfile. (use '~> 0.1.0' for Swift 2)

Swift Package Manager

To use Swamp through Swift Package Manager, create a Package.swift file:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "SwampTestProject",
    targets: [],
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/RadarBee/swamp.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 2)
    ]
)

$ swift build

Usage

Connect to router

import Swamp

let swampTransport = WebSocketSwampTransport(wsEndpoint:  NSURL(string: "ws://my-router.com:8080/ws")!)
let swampSession = SwampSession(realm: "router-defined-realm", transport: swampTransport)
// Set delegate for callbacks
// swampSession.delegate = <SwampSessionDelegate implementation>
swampSession.connect()
swampSession.disconnect()

SwampSession constructor parameters

• realm - which realm to join
• transport - a SwampTransport implementation
• authmethods authid authrole authextra - See your router's documentation and use accordingly

Connection/Disconnection

• connect() - Establish transport and perform authentication if configured.
• disconnect() - Opposite.

Now you should wait for your delegate's callbacks:

SwampSessionDelegate interface

Implement the following methods:

• func swampSessionHandleChallenge(authMethod: String, extra: [String: AnyObject]) -> String
  • Fired when a challenge request arrives.
  • You can return SwampCraAuthHelper.sign("your-secret", extra["challenge"] as! String) to support wampcra auth method.
• func swampSessionConnected(session: SwampSession, sessionId: Int)
• Fired once the session has established and authenticated a session, and has joined the realm successfully. (AKA You may now call, subscribe & publish.)
• func swampSessionEnded(reason: String)
• Fired once the connection has ended.
• reason is usually a WAMP-domain error, but it can also be a textual description of WTF just happened

Let's get the shit started!

• General note: Lots of callback functions receive args-kwargs pairs, check your other client implementaion to see which of them is utilized, and act accordingly.

Calling remote procedures

Calling may fire two callbacks:

• onSuccess - if calling has completed without errors.
• onError - If the call has failed. (Either in router or in peer client.)

Signature

public func call(proc: String, options: [String: AnyObject]=[:], args: [AnyObject]?=nil, kwargs: [String: AnyObject]?=nil, onSuccess: CallCallback, onError: ErrorCallCallback)

Simple use case:

session.call("wamp.procedure", args: [1, "argument1"],
    onSuccess: { details, results, kwResults in
        // Usually result is in results[0], but do a manual check in your infrastructure
    },
    onError: { details, error, args, kwargs in
        // Handle your error here (You can ignore args kwargs in most cases)
    })

Full use case:

session.call("wamp.procedure", options: ["disclose_me": true], args: [1, "argument1"], kwargs: ["arg1": 1, "arg2": "argument2"], 
    onSuccess: { details, results, kwResults in
        // Usually result is in results[0], but do a manual check in your infrastructure
    },
    onError: { details, error, args, kwargs in
        // Handle your error here (You can ignore args kwargs in most cases)
    })

Subscribing on topics

Subscribing may fire three callbacks:

• onSuccess - if subscription has succeeded.
• onError - if it has not.
• onEvent - if it succeeded, this is fired when the actual event was published.

Signature

public func subscribe(topic: String, options: [String: AnyObject]=[:], onSuccess: SubscribeCallback, onError: ErrorSubscribeCallback, onEvent: EventCallback)

Simple use case:

session.subscribe("wamp.topic", onSuccess: { subscription in 
    // subscription can be stored for subscription.cancel()
    }, onError: { details, error in
                                
    }, onEvent: { details, results, kwResults in
        // Event data is usually in results, but manually check blabla yadayada
    })

Full use case:

session.subscribe("wamp.topic", options: ["disclose_me": true], 
    onSuccess: { subscription in 
        // subscription can be stored for subscription.cancel()
    }, onError: { details, error in
        // handle error                        
    }, onEvent: { details, results, kwResults in
        // Event data is usually in results, but manually check blabla yadayada
    })

Publishing events

Publishing may either be called without callbacks (AKA unacknowledged) or with the following two callbacks:

• onSuccess - if publishing has succeeded.
• onError - if it has not.

Signature

// without acknowledging
public func publish(topic: String, options: [String: AnyObject]=[:], args: [AnyObject]?=nil, kwargs: [String: AnyObject]?=nil)
// with acknowledging
public func publish(topic: String, options: [String: AnyObject]=[:], args: [AnyObject]?=nil, kwargs: [String: AnyObject]?=nil, onSuccess: PublishCallback, onError: ErrorPublishCallback) {

Simple use case:

session.publish("wamp.topic", args: [1, "argument2"])

Full use case:

session.publish("wamp.topic", options: ["disclose_me": true],  args: [1, "argument2"], kwargs: ["arg1": 1, "arg2": "argument2"],
    onSuccess: {
        // Publication has been published!
    }, onError: { details, error in
        // Handle error (What can it be except wamp.error.not_authorized?)
    })

Testing

For now, only integration tests against crossbar exist. I plan to add unit tests in the future.

In order to run the tests:

1. Install Docker for Mac (Easy Peasy)
2. Open Example/Swamp.xcworkspace with XCode
3. Select Swamp_Test-iOS or Swamp_Test-OSX
4. Run the tests! (Product -> Test or ⌘U)

Troubleshooting

If for some reason the tests fail, make sure:

• You have docker installed and available at /usr/local/bin/docker
• You have an available port 8080 on your machine

You can also inspect Example/swamp-crossbar-instance.log to find out what happened with the crossbar instance while the tests were executing.

Roadmap

1. MessagePack & Raw Sockets
2. Callee role
3. More robust codebase and error handling
4. More generic and comfortable API
5. Advanced profile features
