from channels.generic.websocket import AsyncJsonWebsocketConsumer
from rest_framework.serializers import Serializer, CharField
from drf_spectacular_websocket.decorators import extend_ws_schema


class SomeMethodInputSerializer(Serializer):
    some_field = CharField()


class SomeMethodOutputSerializer(Serializer):
    some_field = CharField()


class SendMessageOutputSerializer(Serializer):
    some_field = CharField()


class SomeConsumer(AsyncJsonWebsocketConsumer):

    async def receive_json(self, content, **kwargs):
        some_value = content.get('some_key')
        if some_value:
            await self.some_method(some_value)

    @extend_ws_schema(
        type='send',
        summary='some_method_summary',
        description='some_method_description',
        request=SomeMethodInputSerializer,
        responses=SomeMethodOutputSerializer,
    )
    async def some_method(self, some_value):
        input_serializer = SomeMethodInputSerializer(data=some_value)
        input_serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)

        return_value = await some_business_logic(input_serializer.validated_data)

        output_serializer = SomeMethodOutputSerializer(data=return_value)
        output_serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)

        await self.send_json(output_serializer.validated_data)

    @extend_ws_schema(
        type='receive',
        summary='send_message_summary',
        description='send_message_description',
        request=None,
