@ditchoom/socket-kt v1.0.61

About The Project

Managing metwork calls can be slightly different based on each platform. This project aims to make it easier to manage sockets in a cross platform way using kotlin multiplatform. This was originally created as a side project for a kotlin multiplatform mqtt data sync solution.

Runtime Dependencies

• Buffer

Supported Platforms

Help needed for getting a native socket to work for other platforms. For Apple products we want to use APIs that work on cellular networks not just WiFi

Installation

• Add implementation("com.ditchoom:socket:$version") to your build.gradle dependencies

Client Socket Usage

Suspend connect read write and close

// Run in a coroutine scope
val socket = ClientSocket.connect(
    port = 80, // no default
    hostname = "example.com", // null is default which points to localhost
    timeout = 1.seconds, // default
    socketOptions = null, // default
)
val isOpen = socket.isOpen()
val localPort = socket.localPort()
val remotePort = socket.remotePort()
val stringRead = socket.readUtf8() // read a utf8 string
val readBuffer = socket.read() // read a ReadBuffer as defined in the buffer module
val bytesWritten = socket.write(buffer) // write the buffer to the socket
socket.close() // close the socket

Or use lambda which auto closes the socket

// Run in a coroutine scope, same defaults as the other `connect` method
val response = ClientSocket.connect(80, hostname = "example.com") { socket ->
val request =
        """
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Connection: close

"""
    val bytesWritten = socket.write(request)
    socket.read() // can throw a SocketClosedException
}
// response is populated, no need to call socket.close()

TLS support

// Simply add tls=true to your ClientSocket.connect or ClientSocket.allocate
val response = ClientSocket.connect(port, hostname, tls = true) { socket ->
    // do something
}

Building Locally
