Description

Bazis WS is an extension package for the Bazis framework that provides a fully-featured WebSocket communication system. The package includes:

• UserWsMixin — mixin for user model with WebSocket support
• WsEndpoint — ready-to-use WebSocket endpoint with JWT authentication
• Redis Pub/Sub — messaging system between servers and clients
• Online Status Tracking — automatic detection of online/offline users
• Personal Channels — each user has their own channel for receiving messages
• Common Channel — for broadcasting messages to all connected users

This package requires installation of bazis and a running Redis server.

Requirements

• Python: 3.12+
• bazis: latest version
• PostgreSQL: 12+
• Redis: For pub/sub and caching
• Additional libraries:
  • python-jose — for JWT handling
  • psycopg[binary] — for asynchronous PostgreSQL access
  • redis — for Redis operations

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

uv add bazis-ws

Using pip

pip install bazis-ws

Core Components

UserWsMixin

Mixin for user model that adds WebSocket support.

Location: bazis.contrib.ws.models_abstract.UserWsMixin

Properties:

• user_channel — user's personal channel in Redis (format: user_ws:{user_id})
• ws_session — WebSocket session key in Redis (format: user_ws:{user_id}:session)
• is_online — boolean property indicating whether the user is connected to WebSocket

Methods:

• ws_publish(data: dict) -> int — send message to user via their personal channel

Usage Example:

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from bazis.contrib.ws.models_abstract import UserWsMixin
from bazis.core.models_abstract import JsonApiMixin

class User(UserWsMixin, JsonApiMixin, AbstractUser):
    """User with WebSocket support"""
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'User'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Users'

WsEndpoint

WebSocket endpoint with authentication and session management support.

Location: bazis.contrib.ws.ws.WsEndpoint

Based on: starlette.endpoints.WebSocketEndpoint

Key Features:

1. JWT Token Authentication:

   • On connection: ws://api.example.com/ws?token=<jwt_token>
   • During session: sending {"token": "<jwt_token>"}

2. Automatic Online Status Tracking:

   • Status update every 5 seconds
   • Redis entry TTL: 10 seconds

3. Channel Subscription:

   • User's personal channel
   • Common channel for all users

4. Ping/Pong:

   • Client sends {"type": "ping"}
   • Server responds {"type": "pong"}

Connection Lifecycle:

1. on_connect()      → accept connection
2. session_start()   → authenticate and start background tasks
   ├─ task_online_update()    → update online status
   └─ task_listen_queue()     → listen to Redis channels
3. on_receive()      → handle incoming messages
4. on_disconnect()   → cleanup resources
5. session_stop()    → stop background tasks

Redis Channels:

• user_ws:{user_id} — user's personal channel
• user_ws:common — common channel for all users
• user_ws:{user_id}:session — active session key (TTL: 10 seconds)

Usage

Project Setup

1. Add mixin to user model:

# models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from bazis.contrib.ws.models_abstract import UserWsMixin
from bazis.core.models_abstract import JsonApiMixin

class User(UserWsMixin, JsonApiMixin, AbstractUser):
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'User'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Users'

2. Add is_online field to user routes:

# routes.py
from bazis.contrib.ws.routes_abstract import UserWsRouteSet
from django.apps import apps

class UserRouteSet(UserWsRouteSet):
    model = apps.get_model('myapp.User')

3. Register WebSocket route:

# main.py or app.py
from bazis.core.app import app
from bazis.contrib.ws.ws import ws_route

app.router.routes.append(ws_route)

Connecting to WebSocket

JavaScript Client

class WebSocketClient {
  constructor(url, token) {
    this.url = url;
    this.token = token;
    this.ws = null;
    this.reconnectInterval = 5000;
    this.pingInterval = 30000;
    this.pingTimer = null;
  }

  connect() {
    this.ws = new WebSocket(`${this.url}?token=${this.token}`);

    this.ws.onopen = () => {
      console.log('WebSocket connected');
      this.startPing();
    };

    this.ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
      this.handleMessage(data);
    };

    this.ws.onerror = (error) => {
      console.error('WebSocket error:', error);
    };

    this.ws.onclose = () => {
      console.log('WebSocket disconnected');
      this.stopPing();
      // Reconnect
      setTimeout(() => this.connect(), this.reconnectInterval);
    };
  }

  handleMessage(data) {
    switch (data.type) {
      case 'pong':
        console.log('Received pong');
        break;
      case 'data':
        console.log('Received data:', data.data);
        // Process received data
        this.onData(data.data);
        break;
      case 'error':
        console.error('Error:', data.code, data.detail);
        break;
      default:
        console.log('Unknown message type:', data);
    }
  }

  startPing() {
    this.pingTimer = setInterval(() => {
      if (this.ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
        this.ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'ping' }));
      }
    }, this.pingInterval);
  }

  stopPing() {
    if (this.pingTimer) {
      clearInterval(this.pingTimer);
      this.pingTimer = null;
    }
  }

  onData(data) {
    // Override this method to handle data
    console.log('Data received:', data);
  }

  disconnect() {
    this.stopPing();
    if (this.ws) {
      this.ws.close();
    }
  }
}

// Usage
const ws = new WebSocketClient('ws://api.example.com/ws', jwtToken);
ws.onData = (data) => {
  console.log('Processing data:', data);
  // Your processing logic
};
ws.connect();

Python Client

import asyncio
import json
import websockets

async def websocket_client(url, token):
    uri = f"{url}?token={token}"
    
    async with websockets.connect(uri) as websocket:
        print("WebSocket connected")
        
        # Background task for ping
        async def send_ping():
            while True:
                await asyncio.sleep(30)
                await websocket.send(json.dumps({"type": "ping"}))
        
        ping_task = asyncio.create_task(send_ping())
        
        try:
            async for message in websocket:
                data = json.loads(message)
                
                if data['type'] == 'pong':
                    print("Received pong")
                elif data['type'] == 'data':
                    print(f"Received data: {data['data']}")
                elif data['type'] == 'error':
                    print(f"Error: {data['code']} - {data['detail']}")
        finally:
            ping_task.cancel()

asyncio.run(websocket_client('ws://api.example.com/ws', jwt_token))

Sending Messages to Users

From Django View or API Endpoint

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

def send_notification_to_user(user_id, message):
    """Send notification to specific user"""
    user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
    
    if user.is_online:
        user.ws_publish({
            'type': 'notification',
            'title': 'New Notification',
            'message': message,
            'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat()
        })
        return True
    return False

From Celery Task

from celery import shared_task
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

@shared_task
def notify_user_async(user_id, notification_data):
    """Asynchronously send notification to user"""
    try:
        user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
        user.ws_publish({
            'type': 'task_completed',
            'data': notification_data
        })
    except User.DoesNotExist:
        pass

Broadcasting to All Online Users

from redis import Redis
from django.conf import settings
import json

redis = Redis.from_url(settings.CACHES['default']['LOCATION'])

def broadcast_message(message):
    """Send message to all connected users"""
    from bazis.contrib.ws import COMMON_CHANNEL
    
    redis.publish(COMMON_CHANNEL, json.dumps({
        'type': 'broadcast',
        'message': message
    }))

Checking Online Status

In Django Template

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

def user_list_view(request):
    users = User.objects.all()
    
    online_users = [user for user in users if user.is_online]
    offline_users = [user for user in users if not user.is_online]
    
    return render(request, 'users.html', {
        'online_users': online_users,
        'offline_users': offline_users
    })

Via API (using UserWsRouteSet)

GET /api/v1/<app>/<resource>/
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Response:

Examples

Real-time Chat Example

Backend (sending message):

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.decorators.http import require_POST
import json

User = get_user_model()

@require_POST
def send_message(request):
    data = json.loads(request.body)
    recipient_id = data.get('recipient_id')
    message = data.get('message')
    
    try:
        recipient = User.objects.get(id=recipient_id)
        
        # Send message via WebSocket
        if recipient.is_online:
            recipient.ws_publish({
                'type': 'chat_message',
                'sender': {
                    'id': str(request.user.id),
                    'username': request.user.username
                },
                'message': message,
                'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat()
            })
            return JsonResponse({'status': 'sent'})
        else:
            # Save offline message
            return JsonResponse({'status': 'saved_offline'})
            
    except User.DoesNotExist:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'User not found'}, status=404)

Frontend (receiving message):

class ChatClient extends WebSocketClient {
  onData(data) {
    if (data.type === 'chat_message') {
      this.displayMessage(data.sender, data.message, data.timestamp);
    }
  }

  displayMessage(sender, message, timestamp) {
    const messageElement = document.createElement('div');
    messageElement.className = 'chat-message';
    messageElement.innerHTML = `
      <div class="sender">${sender.username}</div>
      <div class="message">${message}</div>
      <div class="timestamp">${new Date(timestamp).toLocaleString()}</div>
    `;
    document.getElementById('chat-messages').appendChild(messageElement);
  }
}

const chat = new ChatClient('ws://api.example.com/ws', jwtToken);
chat.connect();

Task Notification Example

Celery Task:

from celery import shared_task
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

@shared_task
def process_long_running_task(user_id, task_data):
    """Long-running task with user notification"""
    user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
    
    # Notify about start
    user.ws_publish({
        'type': 'task_started',
        'task_id': process_long_running_task.request.id,
        'message': 'Processing started...'
    })
    
    try:
        # Execute task
        result = perform_processing(task_data)
        
        # Notify about success
        user.ws_publish({
            'type': 'task_completed',
            'task_id': process_long_running_task.request.id,
            'result': result,
            'message': 'Processing completed successfully'
        })
        
    except Exception as e:
        # Notify about error
        user.ws_publish({
            'type': 'task_failed',
            'task_id': process_long_running_task.request.id,
            'error': str(e),
            'message': 'An error occurred during processing'
        })

Online Indicator Example

JavaScript Component:

class OnlineIndicator {
  constructor(userId) {
    this.userId = userId;
    this.indicator = document.getElementById(`user-${userId}-status`);
  }

  async checkStatus() {
    const response = await fetch(`/api/v1/users/user/${this.userId}/`, {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
      }
    });
    
    const data = await response.json();
    const isOnline = data.data.attributes.is_online;
    
    this.updateIndicator(isOnline);
  }

  updateIndicator(isOnline) {
    if (isOnline) {
      this.indicator.classList.add('online');
      this.indicator.classList.remove('offline');
      this.indicator.textContent = 'Online';
    } else {
      this.indicator.classList.add('offline');
      this.indicator.classList.remove('online');
      this.indicator.textContent = 'Offline';
    }
  }
}

// Periodic status check
const indicator = new OnlineIndicator('user-123');
setInterval(() => indicator.checkStatus(), 10000);
