Reactive WebSocket client.

Usage

import { useWebSocket } from '@vueuse/core'

const { status, data, send, open, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl')

See the Type Declarations for more options.

immediate

Enable by default.

Establish the connection immediately when the composable is called.

autoConnect

Enable by default.

If url is provided as a ref, when the url changes, it will automatically reconnect to the new url.

autoClose

Enable by default.

This will call close() automatically when the beforeunload event is triggered or the associated effect scope is stopped.

autoReconnect

Reconnect on errors automatically (disabled by default).

const { status, data, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl', {
  autoReconnect: true,
})

Or with more controls over its behavior:

const { status, data, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl', {
  autoReconnect: {
    retries: 3,
    delay: 1000,
    onFailed() {
      alert('Failed to connect WebSocket after 3 retries')
    },
  },
})

Explicitly calling close() won't trigger the auto reconnection.

heartbeat

It's common practice to send a small message (heartbeat) for every given time passed to keep the connection active. In this function we provide a convenient helper to do it:

const { status, data, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl', {
  heartbeat: true,
})

Or with more controls:

const { status, data, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl', {
  heartbeat: {
    message: 'ping',
    interval: 1000,
    pongTimeout: 1000,
  },
})

Sub-protocols

List of one or more subprotocols to use, in this case soap and wamp.

const { status, data, send, open, close } = useWebSocket('ws://websocketurl', {
  protocols: ['soap'], // ['soap', 'wamp']
})
