Webhooks

While you can create any custom websocket handlers, you might still want to intercept and run your own custom business logic on each websocket connection.

In Pusher, there are Pusher Webhooks that do this job. However, since the implementation is a pure controller, you might want to extend it and update the config file to reflect the changes:

For example, running your own business logic on connection open and close:

php

namespace App\Controllers\WebSockets;

use BeyondCode\LaravelWebSockets\WebSockets\WebSocketHandler as BaseWebSocketHandler;
use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;

class WebSocketHandler extends BaseWebSocketHandler
{
    public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $connection)
    {
        parent::onOpen($connection);

        // Run code on open
        // $connection->app contains the app details
        // $this->channelManager is accessible
    }

    public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $connection)
    {
        parent::onClose($connection);

        // Run code on close.
        // $connection->app contains the app details
        // $this->channelManager is accessible
    }
}

Once you implemented it, replace the handlers.websocket class name in config:

php

'handlers' => [

    'websocket' => App\Controllers\WebSockets\WebSocketHandler::class,

],

A server restart is required afterwards.
