Lens Scripting API

    Class WebSocketWearable Only

    WebSocket provides an API for managing a WebSocket connection to a server, as well as for sending and receiving data on the connection.

    // Create WebSocket connection.
    let socket = script.remoteServiceModule.createWebSocket("wss://<some-url>");
    socket.binaryType = "blob";

    // Listen for the open event
    socket.onopen = (event) => {
        // Socket has opened, send a message back to the server
        socket.send("Message 1");

        // Try sending a binary message
        // (the bytes below spell 'Message 2')
        const message = [77, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 50];
        const bytes = new Uint8Array(message);
        socket.send(bytes);
    };

    // Listen for messages
    socket.onmessage = async (event) => {
        if (event.data instanceof Blob) {
            // Binary frame, can be retrieved as either Uint8Array or string
            let bytes = await event.data.bytes();
            let text = await event.data.text();

            print("Received binary message, printing as text: " + text);
        } else {
            // Text frame
            let text = event.data;
            print("Received text message: " + text);
        }
    });

    socket.onclose = (event) => {
        if (event.wasClean) {
            print("Socket closed cleanly");
        } else {
            print("Socket closed with error, code: " + event.code);
        }
    };

    socket.onerror = (event) => {
        print("Socket error");
    };

    binaryType: string

    Controls how binary data is received over the connection. Currently only blob is supported. The arraybuffer type is not yet supported.

    // Create WebSocket connection.
    webSocket = script.remoteServiceModule.createWebSocket("wss://<some-url>");
    socket.binaryType = "blob";

    // Listen for messages
    socket.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
        if (event.data instanceof Blob) {
            // Binary frame, can be retrieved as either Uint8Array or string
            let bytes = await event.data.bytes();
            let text = await event.data.text();            
        } else {
            // Text frame
            let text = event.data;
        }
    });
    onclose: (event: WebSocketEvent) => void

    Set a listener for the close event. The event passed is WebSocketCloseEvent. Equivalent to addEventListener("close", ...). This listener will be run in addition to any listeners added via addEventListener.

    websocket.onclose = (event) => {
      print("The connection has been closed.");
    };
    onerror: (event: WebSocketEvent) => void

    Set a listener for the error event. The event passed is WebSocketErrorEvent. Equivalent to addEventListener("error", ...). This listener will be run in addition to any listeners added via addEventListener.

    websocket.onerror = (event) => {
      print("The connection has been closed due to an error: " + error);
    };
    onmessage: (event: WebSocketEvent) => void

    Set a listener for the message event. The event passed is WebSocketMessageEvent. Equivalent to addEventListener("message", ...). This listener will be run in addition to any listeners added via addEventListener.

    websocket.onmessage = async (event) => {
        if (event.data instanceof Blob) {
            // Binary frame, can be retrieved as either Uint8Array or string
            let bytes = await event.data.bytes();
            let text = await event.data.text();    
            
            print("Received binary message, printing as text: " + text);        
        } else {
            // Text frame
            let text = event.data;
            print("Received text message: " + text);
        }
    };
    onopen: (event: WebSocketEvent) => void

    Set a listener for the open event. The event passed is WebSocketEvent. Equivalent to addEventListener("open", ...). This listener will be run in addition to any listeners added via addEventListener.

    websocket.onopen = (event) => {
      print("The connection has been opened successfully.");
    };
    readyState: number

    Returns the current state of the WebSocket connection.

    CONNECTING (0) Socket has been created. The connection is not yet open.

    OPEN (1) The connection is open and ready to communicate.

    CLOSING (2) The connection is in the process of closing.

    CLOSED (3) The connection is closed or couldn't be opened.

    url: string

    Returns the url to which the WebSocket is connecting/connected.

    Methods

    • Adds a listener for a WebSocket event. Supported event types are:

      close Fired when a connection with a WebSocket is closed. Also available via the onclose property.

      error Fired when a connection with a WebSocket has been closed because of an error, such as when some data couldn't be sent. Also available via the onerror property.

      message Fired when data is received through a WebSocket. Also available via the onmessage property.

      open Fired when a connection with a WebSocket is opened. Also available via the onopen property.

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • Closes the WebSocket connection or connection attempt, if any. If the connection is already CLOSED, this method does nothing.

      Returns void

    • Returns true if the object matches or derives from the passed in type.

      Parameters

      • type: string

      Returns boolean

    • Returns true if this object is the same as other. Useful for checking if two references point to the same thing.

      Parameters

      Returns boolean

    • Enqueues the given data to be transmitted to the server over the WebSocket connection. If the data can't be sent (for example, because it needs to be buffered but the buffer is full), the socket is closed automatically.

      Text or binary data can be sent via this method. To send text data pass a string into the send function. To send binary, pass a Uint8Array.

      Text example:

      webSocket.send("Hello World");

      Binary example:

      // This sequence is `Hello World` in Uint8
      const uint8Array = new Uint8Array([
      72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100
      ]);
      webSocket.send(uint8Array);

      Parameters

      • data: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

      Returns void
