Description

ChannelClient is a WebSocket client that connects to Unity's ChannelService, which is a WebSocket server.

A ChannelClient is created on a specific channel. A channel name matches the last part of a WebSocket URL. For example: 127.0.0.1:9090/<channelName>.

The EventService is a ChannelClient connected to the "events" channel.

You can create custom channels using the ChannelService, and connect to them using a ChannelClient. For information about creating channels, see ChannelService.GetOrCreateChannel.

Properties

channelNameThe name of the channel this ChannelClient is connected to. The name matches the route of the URL used to connect to Unity's ChannelService. For example, 127.0.0.1:8928/<my Channel Name>.
clientIdThe channel ID, which essentially a hash of the channel name. See ChannelService.ChannelNameToId.
isAutoTickSpecifies whether Unity processes (ticks) this ChannelClient's incoming and outgoing messages automatically, or the user processes (ticks) them manually, either in the main thread or a dedicated thread.

Public Methods

CloseCloses the ChannelClient. This closes the WebSocket client but not the Channel in the ChannelService. Other ChannelClients can still connect on the same Channel.
GetChannelClientInfoGets the ChannelClientInfo for a specific channel.
IsConnectedChecks whether the ChannelClient connected to a ChannelService.
NewRequestIdCreates a unique request ID for this ChannelClient in this instance of Unity. For more information about requests, see ChannelClient.Request.
RegisterMessageHandlerRegisters a new handler on a specific channel. The new handler is called whenever a message is sent to the ChannelClient.
SendSends an ASCII or binary message to the ChannelService. Depending on how the channel's handler processes the message, it may also be sent to other connections.
StartStarts an existing ChannelClient so it listens to incoming and outgoing messages.
StopStops a specific ChannelClient from listening for new messages. This is different than ChannelClient.Close because you can restart the channel client using ChannelClient.Start.
TickTicks the ChannelClient. When you call this method, it checks whether any incoming messages from the server need to be processed, and whether any outgoing messages need to be sent to the server.
UnregisterMessageHandlerUnregisters a specific channel handler from a ChannelClient.

Static Methods

GetChannelClientListGets information for all ChannelClients running on a single instance of Unity.
GetOrCreateClientCreates a new ChannelClient on a specific channel. If a client already exists, this method gets the client.
ShutdownCloses all ChannelClients in this instance of Unity.
