Websockets — Interceptors

Spiral provides interceptors for WebSockets services that allow you to intercept and modify requests and responses at various points in the request lifecycle.

Read more about interceptors in the Framework — Interceptors section.

They are typically used to add cross-cutting functionality such as logging, authentication, or monitoring to the server.

Example

Authentication interceptor

The following example shows how to create an interceptor that checks the user's authentication token and provides the user's identity to the service. Where authToken is the name of the field in the request data that contains the authentication token.

php
app/src/Entrypoint/Centrifugo/Interceptor/AuthenticatorInterceptor.php
namespace App\Entrypoint\Centrifugo\Interceptor;

use Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface;
use RoadRunner\Centrifugo\Request\RequestInterface;
use Spiral\Auth\ActorProviderInterface;
use Spiral\Auth\AuthContext;
use Spiral\Auth\AuthContextInterface;
use Spiral\Core\CoreInterceptorInterface;
use Spiral\Core\CoreInterface;
use Spiral\Core\ScopeInterface;
use Spiral\Prototype\Traits\PrototypeTrait;

final class AuthenticatorInterceptor implements CoreInterceptorInterface
{
    use PrototypeTrait;

    public function __construct(
        private readonly ScopeInterface $scope,
        private readonly ActorProviderInterface $actorProvider,
        private readonly ?EventDispatcherInterface $eventDispatcher = null,
    ) {
    }

    public function process(string $controller, string $action, array $parameters, CoreInterface $core): mixed
    {
        $request = $parameters['request'];
        \assert($request instanceof RequestInterface);

        $authToken = $request->getData()['authToken'] ?? null;

        if (!$authToken || !$token = $this->authTokens->load($authToken)) {
            $request->error(403, 'Unauthorized');
            return null;
        }

        $auth = new AuthContext($this->actorProvider, $this->eventDispatcher);
        $auth->start($token);

        return $this->scope->runScope([
            AuthContextInterface::class => $auth,
        ], fn () => $core->callAction($controller, $action, $parameters));
    }
}

And example of how to use it in a service:

php
app/src/Entrypoint/Centrifugo/ConnectService.php
namespace App\Endpoint\Centrifugo;

use App\Database\User;
use RoadRunner\Centrifugo\Payload\ConnectResponse;
use RoadRunner\Centrifugo\Request\Connect;
use RoadRunner\Centrifugo\Request\RequestInterface;
use Spiral\Prototype\Traits\PrototypeTrait;
use Spiral\RoadRunnerBridge\Centrifugo\ServiceInterface;

final class ConnectService implements ServiceInterface
{
    use PrototypeTrait;

    /** @param Connect $request */
    public function handle(RequestInterface $request): void
    {
        try {
            $user = $this->auth->getActor();

            $request->respond(
                new ConnectResponse(
                    user: (string)$user->getId(),
                    data: ['user' => $user->jsonSerialize()],
                    channels: ['chat'],
                ),
            );
        } catch (\Throwable $e) {
            $request->error($e->getCode(), $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Error handling interceptor

The following example shows how to create an interceptor that handles errors.

php
app/src/Entrypoint/Centrifugo/Interceptor/ExceptionHandlerInterceptor.php
namespace App\Entrypoint\Centrifugo\Interceptor;

use Spiral\Core\CoreInterceptorInterface;
use Spiral\Core\CoreInterface;
use Spiral\Exceptions\ExceptionReporterInterface;
use Spiral\RoadRunner\GRPC\Exception\GRPCException;
use Spiral\RoadRunner\GRPC\Exception\GRPCExceptionInterface;

final class ExceptionHandlerInterceptor implements CoreInterceptorInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly ExceptionReporterInterface $reporter
    ) {
    }

    public function process(string $controller, string $action, array $parameters, CoreInterface $core): mixed
    {
        try {
            \assert($parameters['request'] instanceof RequestInterface);

            return $core->callAction($controller, $action, $parameters);
        } catch (\Throwable $e) {
            $this->reporter->report($e);

            $request->error($e->getCode(), $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

After that, you don't need to code into try/catch blocks in your services:

php
app/src/Entrypoint/Centrifugo/ConnectService.php
namespace App\Endpoint\Centrifugo;
/**
 * @param Connect $request
 */
public function handle(RequestInterface $request): void
{
    if (!$this->auth->isAuthenticated()) {
        thorw new \Exception('Unauthorized', 403);
    }
    
    $request->respond(
        ...
    );
}

Registering interceptors

To use this interceptor, you will need to register them in the configuration file app/config/centrifugo.php.

php
app/config/centrifugo.php
use RoadRunner\Centrifugo\Request\RequestType;
use App\Centrifuge;

return [
    'services' => [
        //...
    ],
    'interceptors' => [
        RequestType::Connect->value => [
            Centrifuge\Interceptor\AuthInterceptor::class,
        ],
        //...
        '*' => [
            Centrifuge\Interceptor\ExceptionHandlerInterceptor::class,
            Centrifuge\Interceptor\TelemetryInterceptor::class,
        ],
    ],
];

You can register interceptors for specific requests or for all requests using the * wildcard.
