## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Create WebSocket Endpoint

```csharp
var server = WireMockServer.Start();

server
    .Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/chat"))
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocketHandler(async ctx => {
            // Handle WebSocket connection
        }));
```

### 2. Test It

```csharp
using var client = new ClientWebSocket();
await client.ConnectAsync(
    new Uri($"ws://localhost:{server.Port}/chat"),
    CancellationToken.None);

// Send/receive messages...
```

### 3. Multiple Handler Options

```csharp
// Option 1: Full context
.WithWebSocketHandler(async ctx => { /* ctx.WebSocket, ctx.Headers, etc. */ })

// Option 2: Simple WebSocket
.WithWebSocketHandler(async ws => { /* Just the WebSocket */ })

// Option 3: Message routing
.WithWebSocketMessageHandler(async msg => msg.Type switch {
    "subscribe" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "subscribed" },
    "ping" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "pong" },
    _ => null
})
```

## 🔄 Integration Roadmap

### Phase 1: Core Implementation ✅ COMPLETE

- [x] Models and types
- [x] Matchers and providers
- [x] Builder extensions
- [x] Unit tests
- [x] Documentation

### Phase 2: Middleware Integration ⏳ READY FOR NEXT TEAM

Required changes to `WireMock.Net.AspNetCore.Middleware`:

```csharp
// Add to request processing pipeline
if (context.WebSockets.IsWebSocketRequest) {
    var requestMatcher = mapping.RequestMatcher;
    if (requestMatcher.Match(requestMessage).IsPerfectMatch) {
        // Check if WebSocket is configured
        var response = mapping.Provider;
        if (response is WebSocketResponseProvider wsProvider) {
            var webSocket = await context.WebSockets.AcceptWebSocketAsync();
            await wsProvider.HandleWebSocketAsync(webSocket, requestMessage);
        }
    }
}
```

### Phase 3: Admin API ⏳ FUTURE

- [ ] List WebSocket mappings
- [ ] Create WebSocket mappings
- [ ] Delete WebSocket mappings
- [ ] Manage WebSocket state

### Phase 4: Advanced Features ⏳ FUTURE

- [ ] WebSocket compression (RFC 7692)
- [ ] Connection lifecycle events
- [ ] Response transformers
- [ ] Proxy mode
- [ ] Metrics/monitoring

## 🎓 Architecture Highlights

### Design Pattern: Builder Pattern
```csharp
Request.Create()
    .WithPath("/ws")
    .WithWebSocketSubprotocol("chat")

```

### Design Pattern: Provider Pattern
```csharp
Response.Create()
    .WithWebSocketHandler(handler)
    .WithWebSocketKeepAlive(interval)
    .WithWebSocketTimeout(duration)
```

### Design Pattern: Context Pattern
```csharp
async (ctx) => {
    ctx.WebSocket           // The connection
    ctx.RequestMessage      // The request
    ctx.Headers            // Custom headers
    ctx.SubProtocol        // Negotiated protocol
    ctx.UserState          // Custom state storage
}
```
