swap websocket lib to https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket to allow the golang wasm client to work seamlessly

[gedw99]

https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket is the youngest golang websocket lib out there and actively maintained. It compiles to WASM which allows graphJIn GUI and other golang GUI's to use grapJin directly .

The API is a bit different from what gorilla/websocket offers, and one of the big advantages I see is that it solves a problem with a proper WebSocket closing handshake which is a bit hard to do right with Gorilla WebSocket. See: gorilla/websocket#448

It also allows grpc-web to work without a gateway and other complex things. This works with standard GRPC web client liek flutter and any other GRPCWeb Client lib.

It also allows any Golang wasm to also work. The following example code is building the client code as golang. The React GUI then uses that golang WASM to do all the communications with the golang server using just GRPC.

I gave this a shot seems like the nhooyr/websocket is not mature enough I could not get it working with chrome etc. Feel free to try and let me know if it works for you. FYI the gorilla/websocket library is pretty solid also works fine when we compile GraphJin to WASM. I'm open to PR's if you get this working

wI have used nhooyr/websocket it with all the browsers on desktop and mobile. Its def mature. Lacking latest uüdates though as maintainer is sort of having some life issues apparently.
Do you have a branch for GraphJin with nhooyr/websocket ? i can also take a look.

Here is a working example : https://git.sr.ht/~whereswaldon/pointstar/tree/master/item/makefile
Its a golang wasm client and golang server.
If you open 2 tabs, you will see them that they interoperate with each other via the web socket server.
I may help towards getting it working in GraphJin.

When you compile GraphJin to wasm with gorilla/websocket does it work in browsers ? Cause this is not the case from my own testing. And also its why practically every single golang lib that needs golang wasm and non wasm uses nhooyr/websocket.

Don't have a branch unfortunately. I just changed the code in place and tested with the web ui that comes with GraphJin as well as the Altair GraphQL client. Feel free to give it a try yourself the code is pretty easy to replace you'll find it in ws.go

[gedw99]

I saw the commit and wasm demo. It’s a good start .

The wasm demo is using rpc and not websockets I presume ?

Do you still want me to try to modify the code to use the wasm web socket lib ?

[dosco]

It's just me experimenting. I want to get GraphJin working with Deno and NodeJS.

great idea..

https://github.com/altair-graphql/altair Looks cool.

I think we could build the same with golang wasm. Is this one of your goals ?
