RelayManager<T> class

relay manager, responsible for lifecycle of relays, sending messages,
and help with tracking of requests

Constructors

RelayManager({required GlobalState globalState, required NostrTransportFactory nostrTransportFactory, Accounts? accounts, EngineAdditionalDataFactory? engineAdditionalDataFactory, List<String>? bootstrapRelays, dynamic allowReconnect = true, Duration authCallbackTimeout = RequestDefaults.DEFAULT_AUTH_CALLBACK_TIMEOUT, Duration authChallengeTimeout = RequestDefaults.DEFAULT_AUTH_CHALLENGE_TIMEOUT})

Creates a new relay manager.

Properties

allowReconnectRelays ↔ bool

Are reconnects allowed when a connection drops?

getter/setter pair

authCallbackTimeout → Duration

timeout for AUTH callbacks (how long to wait for AUTH OK)

final

authChallengeTimeout → Duration

how long to wait for a NIP-42 challenge once authentication was asked for

final

connectedAnonymousRelays → List<RelayConnectivity>

Connected connections bound to nobody, one per relay at most.

no setter

connectedRelays → List<RelayConnectivity>

Returns a list of fully connected relays, excluding connecting ones. DO NOT USE THIS FOR CHECKING A SINGLE RELAY, use isRelayConnected INSTEAD

no setter

engineAdditionalDataFactory → EngineAdditionalDataFactory?

factory for creating additional data for the engine

final

globalState ↔ GlobalState

global state obj

getter/setter pair

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

nostrTransportFactory → NostrTransportFactory

nostr transport factory, to create new transports (usually websocket)

final

onNegErr ↔ void Function(String subscriptionId, String relayUrl, String errorMsg)?

Handler for NIP-77 NEG-ERR messages

getter/setter pair

onNegMsg ↔ void Function(String subscriptionId, String relayUrl, String errorMsg)?

Handler for NIP-77 NEG-MSG messages

getter/setter pair

relayConnectivityChanges → Stream<List<RelayConnectivity>>

stream of connection updates, used to notify connectivity changes, latest value is cached. A relay can hold several connections, so this cannot be indexed by url; group by RelayConnectivity.url if you need to.

no setter

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

seedRelaysConnected → Future<void>

completes when all seed relays are connected

no setter

Methods

authenticateConnection(RelayConnectionKey key) → Future<bool>

Answers the challenge for key and completes once the relay accepted the AUTH event. Concurrent callers share a single AUTH.

authenticateIfNeeded(String relayUrl, List<Account> accounts) → void

Opens the bound connections a subscription will need, so the re-route on auth-required does not have to open a socket first.

closeAllTransports() → Future<void>

Closes all transports

closeConnection(RelayConnectionKey key) → Future<void>

Closes one connection and forgets it. An entry that lost its transport, to a reset or to a failed connection attempt, is forgotten just the same: leaving it behind keeps its auth state alive and makes it reconnect.

closeTransport(String url) → Future<void>

Closes every connection towards url and forgets them

connectRelay({required String dirtyUrl, required ConnectionSource connectionSource, String? authPubkey, int connectTimeout = DEFAULT_WEB_SOCKET_CONNECT_TIMEOUT}) → Future<Tuple<bool, String>>

Connects to a relay to the relay pool. Returns a tuple with the first element being a boolean indicating success \ and the second element being a string with the error message if any.

doesRelaySupportNip(String url, int nip) → bool

does relay support given nip

failBroadcast(String nostrEventId, String relay, String msg) → void

use this to signal a failed broadcast

getRelayConnectivity(String url) → RelayConnectivity?

return RelayConnectivity by url

getRelayInfo(String url) → Future<RelayInfo?>

fetches relay info todo: refactor to use http injector and decouple data from fetching

isConnectionConnecting(RelayConnectionKey key) → bool

checks if the connection identified by key is connecting

isConnectionOpen(RelayConnectionKey key) → bool

checks if the connection identified by key is open

isRelayConnected(String url) → bool

checks if a relay is connected, avoid using this

isRelayConnecting(String url) → bool

checks if a relay is connecting

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

openConnectionAs(String url, Account account, {ConnectionSource connectionSource = ConnectionSource.explicit}) → Future<RelayConnectivity?>

Opens the connection towards url bound to account. The binding says which identity this socket may ever assume, not that it is already authenticated: relays are free to send their challenge whenever they want, and some only send it once a request needs it.

reconnectConnection(RelayConnectionKey key, {required ConnectionSource connectionSource, bool force = false}) → Future<bool>

Reconnects the connection identified by key, if it is closed. An authenticated connection comes back authenticated or not at all.

reconnectRelay(String url, {required ConnectionSource connectionSource, bool force = false}) → Future<bool>

Reconnects the anonymous connection to a relay, if it is closed.

reconnectRelays(Iterable<String> urls) → Future<void>

Reconnects all given relays

registerRelayBroadcast({required String relayUrl, required Nip01Event eventToPublish}) → void

use this to register your broadcast against a relay,
this is needed so the response from a relay can be tracked back

registerRelayRequest({required String reqId, required RelayConnectionKey connectionKey, required List<Filter> filters}) → void

use this to register your request against a relay,
this is needed so the response from a relay can be tracked back

resetConnection(RelayConnectionKey key) → Future<void>

Closes and clears only transport-scoped state of one connection, while keeping its entry and relay-scoped metadata in memory.

resetTransport(String url) → Future<void>

Closes and clears only transport-scoped state of every connection to url, while keeping the entries and relay-scoped metadata in memory.

reSubscribeInFlightSubscriptions(RelayConnectivity relayConnectivity) → void

Puts back on relayConnectivity what the socket it replaces still owed us: its subscriptions, and the queries that never got their EOSE.

send(RelayConnectivity relayConnectivity, ClientMsg msg) → void

sends a ClientMsg to relay transport sink, throw an error if relay not connected

sendCloseToConnection(RelayConnectionKey key, String id) → void

sends a close message on the connection the subscription was sent on

sendCloseToRelay(String url, String id) → void

sends a close message on the anonymous connection to a relay

sendOrThrow(RelayConnectivity relayConnectivity, ClientMsg msg) → Future<void>

Sends a ClientMsg and surfaces transport churn/closed-socket failures to the caller instead of silently dropping the write.

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

inherited

updateRelayConnectivity() → void

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.
