Websockets
=================
`websockets` are a great way to add a two way instant data channel between server and client.
LNbits has a useful in built websocket tool. With a websocket client connect to (obv change `somespecificid`) `wss://legend.lnbits.com/api/v1/ws/somespecificid` (you can use an online websocket tester). Now make a get to `https://legend.lnbits.com/api/v1/ws/somespecificid/somedata`. You can send data to that websocket by using `from lnbits.core.services import websocketUpdater` and the function `websocketUpdater("somespecificid", "somdata")`.
Example vue-js function for listening to the websocket:
```
initWs: async function () {
if (location.protocol !== 'http:') {
localUrl =
'wss://' +
document.domain +
':' +
location.port +
'/api/v1/ws/' +
self.item.id
} else {
localUrl =
'ws://' +
document.domain +
':' +
location.port +
'/api/v1/ws/' +
self.item.id
}
this.ws = new WebSocket(localUrl)
this.ws.addEventListener('message', async ({data}) => {
const res = JSON.parse(data.toString())
console.log(res)
})
},
```
