Demonstrates raw WebSocket handling with direct actor connections and real-time chat functionality.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/rivet-dev/rivet.git
cd rivet/examples/raw-websocket-handler
npm install
npm run dev

Features

• Raw WebSocket handlers: Use onWebSocket for low-level WebSocket control and custom protocols
• Direct actor connections: Connect WebSocket clients directly to actor instances
• Connection management: Track WebSocket connections with state and broadcasting
• Real-time chat: Message broadcasting with user presence and chat history
• Persistent state: Messages and user data automatically saved in actor state

Implementation

• Actor Definition (src/backend/registry.ts): Uses onWebSocket handler for low-level WebSocket protocol control
