@iobroker/socket-classes

This library is used at least for the following adapters:

• iobroker.admin
• iobroker.cloud
• iobroker.socketio
• iobroker.ws
• iobroker.rest-api
• iobroker.iot

Usage as admin

const TTL_SEC      = 3600;

const SocketAdmin  = require('@iobroker/socket-classes').SocketAdmin;
const ws           = require('@iobroker/ws-server');
const session      = require('express-session');
const utils 	   = require('@iobroker/adapter-core'); // Get common adapter utils
const AdapterStore = require(utils.controllerDir + '/lib/session.js')(session, TTL_SEC);

const store = new AdapterStore({adapter});

const io = new SocketAdmin(adapter.config, adapter, objects);
io.start(
    server,
    ws,
    {
        userKey: 'connect.sid',
        store,
        secret: adapter.config.secret
    }
);

// subscribe on all object changes
io.subscribe('objectChange', '*');


// later
io.close();

Usage as socket (ws or socketio)

const TTL_SEC      = 3600;

const ws           = require('@iobroker/ws-server');
const SocketWS     = require('@iobroker/socket-classes').SocketCommon;
const session      = require('express-session');
const utils 	   = require('@iobroker/adapter-core'); // Get common adapter utils
const AdapterStore = require(utils.controllerDir + '/lib/session.js')(session, TTL_SEC);

const store = new AdapterStore({adapter});

const settings = adapter.config;
settings.crossDomain = true;
settings.ttl = settings.ttl || TTL_SEC;

const io = new SocketWS(settings, adapter);
io.start(server.server, ws, {userKey: 'connect.sid', checkUser, store, secret: adapter.config.secret});


// later
io.close();

GUI subscribes

GUI client can send to desired instance the subscribe message

    socket.emit('clientSubscribe', 'cameras.0', 'startCamera', { width: 640, height: 480 }, result => console.log('Started: ' + result));

The instance 'cameras.0' will receive message clientSubscribe with information who want to receive messages.

adapter.on('message', obj => {
    if (obj?.command === 'clientSubscribe') {
        if (obj?.message.type && obj.message.type.startsWith('startCamera/')) {
            const [, camera] = obj.message.type.split('/');
            // start camera with obj.message.data
            // ...
            
            // inform GUI that camera is started
            adapter.sendTo(obj.from, obj.command, {result: true}, obj.callback);
            this.subscribes = this.subscribes || [];
            this.subscribes.push({sid: obj.message.sid, from: obj.from, type: obj.message.type, camera});
        }
    } else if (obj?.command === 'clientUnsubscribe' || obj?.command === 'clientSubscribeError') {
        if (obj?.message.type && obj.message.type.startsWith('startCamera/')) {
            const [, camera] = obj.message.type.split('/');
            if (this.subscribes) {
                const pos = this.subscribes.findIndex(s => s.sid === obj.message.sid && s.from === obj.from && s.type === obj.message.type);
                if (pos !== -1) {
                    this.subscribes.splice(pos, 1);

                    // stop camera
                    // ...
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

and after that client will receive messages from instance

function sendImage(camera, data) {
    this.subscribes.forEach(it => {
        if (it.camera !== camera) {
            return;
        }
        // send image to GUI
        adapter.sendTo(it.from, 'im', {m: it.type, s: it.sid, d: data});
    });
}
