keiser_metrics_connection 0.7.3

Dart package for Keiser Metrics to handle both websockets and rest calls.

keiser_metrics_connection

The purpose of this package is to provide a convenient way to connect to the Keiser Metrics server. It does not provide any interface representing the routes/models of the server.

If you are looking for our SDK which contains convenience functions & models mapped to all of our server routes, please refer to keiser_metrics_sdk.

NOTE - This package is a dependency of keiser_metrics_sdk

Features

• Websocket
  • Primary method of communication with server.
• REST
  • HTTP Fallback (if websocket is not enabled).
• Request Queue
  • Will start queueing requests after a certain amount within a short time period.
• Request Retry
  • Will automatically retry failed requests a certain number of times.
• Keep Alive
  • Will automatically make keep-alive requests when authenticated
• Event Based
  • Exposes several streams for you to keep track of the following:
    • websocket connection status
    • server status
    • authentication status

Getting started

Install

dart pub add keiser_metrics_connection

or

flutter pub add keiser_metrics_connection

Import

import 'package:keiser_metrics_connection/keiser_metrics_connection.dart';

Usage

final connection = MetricsConnection(
    shouldEnableWebSocket, // default: true
    socketTimeout, // default: 30 seconds
    concurrentRequestLimit, // default: 5
    requestRetryLimit, // default: 5
    shouldEnableErrorLogging, // default: false
);

// Listen for state changes
connection.onConnectionStatusChange.listen(event => {/* websocket connected || websocket disconnected */});
connection.onServerStatusChange.listen(event => {/* server online || server offline */});
connection.onAuthenticationStatusChange.listen(event => {/* authenticated || unauthenticated || unknown */});
connection.onRefreshTokenChange.listen(event => {/* new refresh token */});

// You  must call this method before making a request to any authenticated routes.
// You can obtain a refresh token by signing in via our website.
await connection.initializeAuthenticatedSession(token: myRefreshToken);

// Use the `action` method to make requests to desired routes.
final response = await connection.action(/* route, params */);

// Dispose of the instance when you are done with it.
await connection.dispose();
