# subscriptions-transport-uws

A GraphQL websocket server and client to facilitate GraphQL subscriptions. Based on [subscriptions-transport-ws](https://github.com/apollostack/subscriptions-transport-ws), built on [µWS](https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets).

## Importing

Importing the client and the server modules are done separately from the `lib/` directory.

```js
import Client from 'subscriptions-transport-uws/lib/Client';
import Server from 'subscriptions-transport-uws/lib/Server';
```

Importing the main module is not supported and will throw an error.

- `options?: Object` : optional object to modify default client behavior
* `timeout: number` : how long the client should wait in ms for a subscription to be started (default 5000 ms)

### Methods
#### `subscribe(options, handler) => id`
- `options: {SubscriptionOptions}`
* `query: string` : GraphQL subscription
* `variables: Object` : GraphQL subscription variables
* `operationName: string` : operation name of the subscription
- `handler: (errors: Error[], result?: any) => void` : function to handle any errors and results from the subscription response

## Server
### `Constructor(options, httpServer)`

* `onSubscribe?: (message: SubscribeMessage, params: SubscriptionOptions, webSocketRequest: WebSocketRequest)` : optional method to create custom params that will be used when resolving this subscription
* `keepAlive?: number` : optional interval in ms to send `SUBSCRIPTION_KEEPALIVE` messages to all clients
