ApplicationMessageHub class

An object that sends and receives messages between ApplicationChannels.

You use this object to share information between isolates. Each ApplicationChannel has a property of this type. A message sent through this object is received by every other channel through its hub.

To receive messages in a hub, add a listener via listen. To send messages, use add.

For example, an application may want to send data to every connected websocket. A reference to each websocket is only known to the isolate it established a connection on. This data must be sent to each isolate so that each websocket connected to that isolate can send the data:

    router.route("/broadcast").linkFunction((req) async {
      var message = await req.body.decodeAsString();
      websocketsOnThisIsolate.forEach((s) => s.add(message);
      messageHub.add({"event": "broadcastMessage", "data": message});
      return Response.accepted();
    });

    messageHub.listen((event) {
      if (event is Map && event["event"] == "broadcastMessage") {
        websocketsOnThisIsolate.forEach((s) => s.add(event["data"]);
      }
    });

Methods

add(dynamic event) → void
Sends a message to all other hubs.
override
any(bool test(dynamic element)) Future<bool>
Checks whether test accepts any element provided by this stream.
inherited
asBroadcastStream({void onListen(StreamSubscription subscription)?, void onCancel(StreamSubscription subscription)?}) Stream

inherited
close() Future
Closes the sink.
override
contains(Object? needle) Future<bool>
Returns whether needle occurs in the elements provided by this stream.
inherited
distinct([bool equals(dynamic previous, dynamic next)?]) Stream
Skips data events if they are equal to the previous data event.
inherited
drain<E>([E? futureValue]) Future<E>
