Examples do not work

[jodinathan]

I know it is obvious to you what String id is in the subscribeString(id, dest, fn) is, however, for me that is very new to stomp stuff (and rabbitmq altogether), I have to dig source and guess what it is.

Is ID a uniqueId that I must generate?

Hi @jodinathan, I was in the same pool a couple of days back, this plugin now seems to be unmaintained.

The closest I could make it work was using an external file mentioned in this comment. (#19 (comment)). Here is an example, please see if this helps you
// Add these two dependencies

stomp: ^0.8.0
web_socket_channel: ^1.0.12

//Import custom.dart file provided in the above comment
eg: import './src/utils/custom.dart' as custom;

Then you can use the plugin as follows:

custom
.connect("ws://localhost:8080/gs-guide-websocket")
.then((StompClient client) {
client.subscribeString("uniqueId", "/topic/greetings",
(Map<String, String> headers, String message) {
print("Recieve $message");
});
client.sendString("/app/hello", '{"name" : "Saurabh"}',
headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'});
});

Here the path "/gs-guide-websocket" is the stomp endpoint configured in the server (https://spring.io/guides/gs/messaging-stomp-websocket/). Replace localhost:8080 with your server url. The "uniqueId" helps you to unsubscribe the endpoint.

Please note: This plugin does not support heartbeat functionality so the websocket connection gets disconnected in few seconds, I am yet to figure out a workaround for this.

@saurabhgour I dug the code and the lib supports server-side heartbeat. I am using RabbitMQ but I think spring probably work.

_numsListen() {
    String url = 'ws://127.0.0.1:15674/ws';

    print('Connecting to the stomp server: $url');
    stomp.connect(url,
        login: 'guest', passcode: 'guest', onDisconnect: (e){
          print('DISCONNECTING STOMP');
          _numsListen();
        }, heartbeat: [0, 10000]).then((StompClient client) {
      
      client.subscribeString(unid, '/exchange/$pointsKey',
              (Map<String, String> headers, String message) {
            print("Recieve $message");

          });
    }, onError: (e){
      print('ERROR STOMP, $e');
      Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1)).then((e) => _numsListen());
    });
  }

@jodinathan Hey, is the recursive call to _numsListen() needed here? Should'nt the hearbeat functionality make sure that the socket does not get disconnected?

[jodinathan]

@saurabhgour, it prevents from disconnecting by inactivity timeout, not internet disconnections
